Sir Paul McCartney has been transformed into a cartoon for a new music video for PETA.
The Beatles star, 77, has called for a ban on unethical animal testing with the new clip for the animal rights group which is set to the tune of his 1993 protest song, Looking for Changes.
Speaking of the video, Paul, who has long been fronting campaigns for PETA, said: ‘I’m looking for changes that will continue the momentum of getting animals out of laboratories’.

Paul, who happily donated his song to the video, continued: ‘Experiments on animals are unethical – they’re a colossal failure and a waste of time and money. We can and must do better.’
The animated video sees the likes of a cat, rabbit and monkey being forced to undergo rigorous, and heartbreaking, testing in a government funded lab.
Suddenly the animals are set free in their natural element, before cartoon Paul comes along with his guitar to continue singing the tune.
