The John Lennon Sketchbook

This animated film was commissioned by Yoko Ono, seventeen years after her conversation with John Lennon about love and six years after his assassination. Independent animator John Canemaker brought Lennon's quirky illustrations to life, merging them with music and interviews for a distinctive experience.

The film reflects the couple's deep connection to visual poetry, which began long before they met. Ono's desire to celebrate Lennon's artistic legacy through animation makes this film a compelling piece for fans of both Lennon and Ono. The combination of animation and personal narrative offers a unique perspective on their relationship and artistic collaboration.
