I've never been a Beatles fan in my life (my dad is though). But when I hear of this wonderful "Yellow Submarine" and it's re-release I decided "What the heck, I'll just see if it's good..."
Boy was I smart to watch it.
This animated feature is one of the best movies I've ever seen. It's a real fantastic movie regarding Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (The Beatles) being thrust into fantasy. The animation is so superb. You must think that's crazy? No. The animation is the most surrealistic I've ever seen, the characters, the backgrounds, heck even the Beatles look weird. It seems a gigantic world from Monty Python's head is thrust into life with the Beatles! Yet that's what also makes this movie cool. Characters on the other hand are quite fun. Mostly coming from the Beatles (John, Paul, George, and Ringo), they keep on saying pun after pun on many things while the demented reality flies. "Hey that's look like a cyclops" says one. "Yeah, but it has 2 eyes..." "Well it must be a bicyclops!" Superb. It's a pity we never had the REAL Beatles playing their animated self (though we get to see them sooner or later in the film), but the actors sound like them! That's good! The songs aren't of Disney people, it's Beatles it has a "groovy" soundtrack with "Yellow Submarine", "All Together Now", "When I'm 64", or "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". They're priceless. Yellow Submarine is one heck of a movie not to be missed. The BEST animated movie I've seen!
