The story

What Is The John Lennon Sketchbook About?

The premise of The John Lennon Sketchbook without spoilers.

In 1986, seventeen years after Yoko Ono and John Lennon’s animated conversation about love and six years after the Beatle’s assassination, Ono hired independent animator John Canemaker to produce a short film that weaves Lennon’s sketches, his music and interview excerpts. The project reflects Ono’s love of art‑philosophy intersections and honors the couple’s visual‑poetry‑based romance.
