Music and movies sometimes come together in beautiful ways, and a recent project involving Finn Wolfhard and George Harrison is a perfect example. Finn Wolfhard, best known for playing Mike Wheeler in the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, has directed a brand-new animated music video for “Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)”, a classic song by former Beatles guitarist George Harrison.
The song was first released in 1973 as the opening track on George Harrison’s album Living in the Material World. It became one of his most loved solo songs and carried a strong message about love, peace, and spirituality. Even though the song has been popular for over 50 years, it never had an official music video—until now.
The new video is made using stop-motion animation, a style where small movements are photographed frame by frame to create motion. This kind of animation takes a lot of time, patience, and creativity. For this project, 20 young Canadian stop-motion artists worked together to bring the idea to life. The result is warm, calm, and deeply respectful to George Harrison’s legacy.
In the video, an animated version of George Harrison is shown gardening at Friar Park, his famous home in Henley-on-Thames, England. The peaceful garden setting fits perfectly with the song’s gentle message. As George tends to plants and walks through nature, the visuals reflect the themes of inner peace, kindness, and connection with the world—ideas that were very important to him throughout his life.
Finn Wolfhard shared that working on this project was a huge honor for him. He has said that George Harrison has been a major inspiration, both musically and creatively. For Finn, directing this video was not just another job, but a meaningful experience. He expressed deep gratitude for being trusted by the Harrison family and for getting the chance to help introduce this song to a younger generation.
George Harrison’s son, Dhani Harrison, also spoke very positively about Finn’s involvement. He described Finn as kind, talented, and thoughtful, and said that his father would have truly loved the video. Dhani believes the creative ideas behind the project will help the song reach new listeners, especially younger fans who may be discovering George Harrison’s music for the first time.
This project comes at a busy time for Finn Wolfhard. Along with returning as Mike Wheeler in the fifth season of Stranger Things, he recently released his debut solo album, Happy Birthday. He is also working on a new movie based on the story of influential alternative rock band The Replacements, showing that his creative interests go far beyond acting.
At the same time, George Harrison’s music is being celebrated again with the release of a 50th anniversary edition of Living in the Material World. The timing makes the new video feel even more special, as it honors both the history and lasting impact of Harrison’s work.
Overall, this animated video is more than just a visual for a song. It is a bridge between generations, connecting a legendary musician’s message of peace with the creativity of a young artist. Through simple images, careful animation, and deep respect, Finn Wolfhard has helped give new life to a timeless song—proving that great music never truly fades away.
