John's movements are described as being short and slightly aggressive. He will often pull funny faces and immediately wipe them off. He has his chin up, looking down his nose, feet apart and hands on hips, and points and poses with his hands with a "showbiz" expression with a mocking gesture, especially when giving orders (showing John does not take his job as leader seriously), and is often malicious, especially towards George and Ringo. His mop-top is slightly shorter than that of the rest of the band.

Most of the episodes of the series were produced by Artransa Park Studios in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia and George Dunning's company TVC Animation in London, with a handful of episodes made in Hollywood, with a crew supervised by veteran cartoon writer John W. The second season's opening theme was " Help!", while the third season's theme was " And Your Bird Can Sing", over a different cartoon sequence.Īlthough uncredited, Dennis Marks, along with Jack Mendelsohn, Heywood Kling and Bruce Howard, wrote all 39 episodes of The Beatles series. Initially, the opening credits theme was a guitar riff from " A Hard Day's Night" segueing into " Can't Buy Me Love", over a cartoon sequence of the group running down a fire escape, echoing a scene in A Hard Day's Night.

Frees had been the voice of Boris Badenov in the Rocky and Bullwinkle series. US actor Paul Frees did the voices of John and George while Lance Percival did the voices of Paul and Ringo. The band members themselves had nothing to do with the series' production beyond the use of their music recordings. The Beatles borrowed Richard Lester's fast-cutting directorial style of A Hard Day's Night and its 1965 follow-up, Help! Hal Erickson writes in Television Cartoon Shows that the frenetic cuts " the series its breezy pace and comic impudence - which often had to compensate for some distressingly sloppy animation and infantile scripting." The producers did attempt to acknowledge the band members' contemporary appearances with photographs of them in the series' title sequences during its production run. The series depicted the band in their early "moptop-and-suit" look as depicted in the 1964 live action film, A Hard Day's Night, even though the band had moved beyond it during the series' run. The songs were taken from all the albums up to Revolver as well as non-album singles up to 'Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane', the song 'Bad Boy', the German language song 'Komm Gib Mir Deine Hand', and the 'Long Tall Sally' EP.
