Thirty-eight years ago, a fourteen year old boy named Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Montreal room during their "peace in."  The short film, I Met the Walrus, based on a recording of their conversations, was nominated for an Oscar for "best animated short" at the 2008 Academy Awards, and won "Best Animated" at the Manhattan Short Film Festival.  Check it out here.
