Beatles Cartoon Pop Art Show Featuring Animator Ron Campbell is Coming To Roswell

In 1964 the Beatles invaded the United States, performing for 73 million people on the Ed Sullivan Show and dominating the US pop charts for years. Now over five decades later, the Fab Four continue to be the most celebrated musical group in Rock history. And Beatlemania is alive and well...recently Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson announced that he is going to be putting together a new film featuring footage from the Beatles 1969 Let it Be sessions and Apple Records recently re-released the classic Beatles Abbey Road album for its 50th anniversary.

Ron Campbell, director of the 1960's Saturday Morning Cartoon series and one of the animators of the Beatles film Yellow Submarine will make a rare return appearance at the Ann Jackson Gallery, 1101 Alpharetta Street, Roswell, Georgia, Friday, October 2nd - Sunday, October 4th. This appearance is in celebration of John Lennon's 80th birthday. Campbell will showcase his original Beatles cartoon paintings created since his retirement from his 50-year career in cartoons. The exhibit will also feature paintings from other cartoons that Campbell was involved with throughout the Golden Age of Saturday Morning Television including Scooby-Doo, Rugrats, Smurfs, Flintstones, Jetsons and more.
