Why It Was Cancelled

Cast

 * Dean Lennox Kelly as John Lennon
 * Adam Campbell as Ringo Starr
 * Cary Elwes as George Harrison

Result

 * Robert Zemeckis announced to everyone that his animation studio ImageMovers Digital was out of business, and even cancelled the movie permanently as he either thought it was a terrible idea to make a movie based on the song or that it may upset many Beatles fans.
