"It must be an animator’s dream to be able to put images to the words of John Lennon as he gives an interview to a fourteen year old lad. Using the taped audio from this chat, we hear the views of Lennon on all things from world peace, war, government, music and drugs - just about everything that was of interest to him and to his young questioner. As you’ll expect, the responses to only really three or four questions are fluid and rambling, but they are also quite profound as they offer him advice on being himself, not conforming and not just going with the flow. Meantime, the pen and computer generated artistry keeps up perfectly illustrating, exaggerating and accentuating his points in an entertaining, almost Monty Python, style that shows effortlessly the connections between all aspects of human life, behaviour and thought. It all sounds like it was an honest piece of ad hoc conversation that is both honest and fun to listen to and the illustrations work well."
