The Beatles (animation): Difference between revisions

* [[Downer Ending]] - Some of the episodes end with injuries. And the first episode ends with them fainting at the sight of spooks.

* [[Edutainment Show]] - Oddly enough. The show was actually praised by educators for helping teach kids to read via the Sing-Along segments.

* [[Evil Laugh]] - John ([[Truth in Television]], depending on whom you ask) at the end of "It Won't Be Long".

* [[Executive Meddling]] - The Bat-Woman from "Baby's In Black" originally had a lot more...[[Most Common Superpower|curves]], but the higher-ups saw the pencil test and thought that that was a bit much for a kids' show, so the animators had to redraw her.

* [[Master of Disguise]] - Anyface from "No Reply".

* [[Marie Antoinette]] - Ringo dreams he's having an affair with her in "Run For Your Life".

* [[Mis Blamed]] - Ringo Starr wasn't happy with [[Too Dumb to Live|his portrayal]] in the show and complained to Lance Percival. Lance kindly explained that he just did the voices and pointed Ringo in the direction of the writers.

* [[Monumental Damage]] - The Beatles go to rehearse in the Coliseum and cause it to fall apart.

* [[Real Song Theme Tune]] - "Can't Buy Me Love" for season 1, "Help!" for season 2 and "And Your Bird Can Sing" for season 3.

* [[The Runt At the End]] - Ringo. Partial [[Truth in Television]].

** Ooh, and "James Blond" in "Penny Lane"!

*** On a related note, in the "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" episode, the evil competitors in the race are a Generic Archvillain and a very obvious Mook. He's the spitting image of Oddjob from ''[[Goldfinger (Film)|Goldfinger]]''.

* [[Stock Footage]] - Often used when the Beatles start playing.

* [[Straw Fan]] - Of course.

* [[Talking to Himself]] - Paul and Ringo are voiced by Lance Percival; John and George are voiced by [[Fake Brit|Paul Frees]].

* [[That Reminds Me of a Song]] - Employed to varying degrees of success.
