In Decem­ber 1969 John Lennon and Yoko Ono held one of their famous “bed-in for peace” protests at the King Edward Hotel in Toronto. This was when a 14-year-old Jerry Lev­i­tan sneaked into their hotel room and secured an inter­view with Lennon on the topic of World Peace.

38 years later Lev­i­tan pro­duced an ani­mated film of the inter­view, using the orig­i­nal inter­view record­ing as the sound­track. You may recog­nise it; the film was nom­i­nated for Best Ani­mated Short Film at the 80th Annual Acad­emy Awards (2008).
