On Saturday September 25, 1965 at 10:30 a.m. on ABC, North America was introduced to the Beatles Cartoons. The first cartoon series to ever feature a rock and roll group, it immediately became a hit with a 13 score and a 52 per cent share in ratings. Based loosely on the characters of the Beatles as portrayed in their film, A Hard Day's Night, each half hour program consisted of two cartoons (each approximately 8-10 minutes long) and two singalong segments stuck in-between the two episodes.Though the Beatles never took part in the creation and production of the show, save for the fact that their original music was used, the series still remains a favorite among fans.









Since the Beatles fanbase is still growing to this day, a lot of Beatles fans would surely benefit from being able to either watch the cartoons on tv, or be able to purchase a DVD with all 39 episodes. With this petition, I am hoping to persuade Apple, the company that currently holds the rights to releasing the show, to finally release it for the fans.
