Yellow Submarine
"Yellow Submarine looks and sounds as joyous, hip, and visionary as it did in the heyday of Beatlemania. This classic animated feature, in which our beloved Fab Four foil the music-fearing Blue Meanies and restore peace, love, and rock 'n' roll to Pepperland, has endured as an essential chapter in Beatles history and as definitive Pop Art spectacle. The Beatles are inventive and cheerful here as their cartoon selves, singing and punning their way through marvelously imagined landscapes. Experimental animation techniques, eye-popping visual effects, and absurdist wit highlight this truly fantastic voyage. Best of all, of course, is the music: George Martin's lovely orchestral score and classic Beatles tunes." (SF Int'l Film Festival 97) Our print is the 1999 rerelease, restored from the original negative (including the "Hey Bullfrog" sequence that was cut after early screenings), and with a remixed soundtrack in Dolby Surround Sound.
