Blog:Beatles Cartoon Reboot

Concept Art

Recently, I've been thinking about doing a reboot of the cult 1960's Beatles cartoon. I plan on calling it The Beatles: International, with the Beatles solving mysteries as a part of the show. No, this will NOT be a Scooby-Doo clone.

A typical episode would go something like this: The Beatles travel somewhere to perform when they hear about a real-life mystery. I am not sure on how the music would be used, but I think it'll work best when the Beatles chase the villain, akin to What's New Scooby-Doo.

The character development will be improved. They will be more likable and actually have personality. John will take the helm as the brawn and tough leader and will do whatever he can for the rest of the band members. Paul acts as the brains of the band and is the most poised and stylish of the band. George is now a cool, slick, hot-headed guitarist, as well as the most reckless of the band. Ringo is the most calm of the band, but serves as the comic relief. And yes, he'll not be a Megward the Wizard type character like he was in the original.

Unlike most classic cartoon reboots, The Beatles: International will NOT focus on modern pop culture references, for they would feel way out of place for a show set in the 60's. This is to make the show better appeal to all audiences, and not just the younger generation. The show in itself is meant to introduce the younger generation to the Beatles and easily understand them.
