McCartney Times

The Beatles cast a long, fab shadow over many a career.In almost every interview he’s done, director Richard Lester says that no matter what films he’s done throughout his career, he will go into the history books as the “Beatles movie director” for his work on Help! and A Hard Day’s Night. Animator/director Ron Campbell has drawn everyone’s childhood favorites— Scooby Doo, The Rugrats, The Surfs, Darkwing Duck, Winnie the Pooh, George of the Jungle, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Harlem Globetrotters — but when he does a show looking back at his career work in words and watercolors like the one he will be doing at Gallerie Gersten in Scottsdale, November 17-20, much of the attention will come from his early career as a Beatles animator.Campbell was part of the Australian animation team that worked on the ABC-TV animated series The Beatles, which ran from 1965-1969. He also animated some key scenes, like the ones with the Blue Meanies, in the Beatles’ 1968 full-length animated feature, Yellow Submarine.
