| User ReviewHeather Tamazing animation. really good idea that is appropriately told through the medium. |
| User ReviewJordan Greally awesome visual candy. not to mention, the interesting interview itself. |
| User ReviewNicole PAbsolutely love the drawing animation in this! |
| User ReviewKimberly PMy favorite of all the 2007 Academy Award Nominated Animated Shorts. Incredible! |

This is actually what a thought process looks like in your head. Adding the visuals can make the words of the speaker more personal and understandable. You see the evolution of thought with much more vividness than if you were to simply listen to an audio recording or look at a talking head. |
| User ReviewKristine HAn amusing and moving testament to the enduring vision of the late John Lennon, this whimsical nugget of a film is acutely apropos of the current political moment. |
| User ReviewTracy HThe Oscar-nominated short animated film least likely to induce deep psychological terror and post-traumatic stress disorder in viewers. Well done, animators, well done. |
| User ReviewLindsay TThe only Oscar-nominated short film that didn't disturb me. Really clever, especially in this age when everything references the Beatles. |
| User ReviewElizabeth PHands down my favorite of the 2007 Academy Award Nominated Animated Shorts. I undoubtedly would have appreciated it more had I known anything about John Lennon. |
| User ReviewIan FJust wish there was better sound, but hell, it's pretty good for 39 years ago... |
