Reviews (3) of The Beatles: Yellow Submarine
A cheerful fever dream powered by Beatles charm and unfiltered imagination. - The Beatles: Yellow Submarine review by griggs
Yellow Submarine is a gloriously trippy oddity fuelled by breezy imagination and Beatles charm. It really shouldn’t work—the story’s paper-thin, the pacing’s baggy, and it often vanishes into pure self-indulgence—yet somehow, it pulls you along with a daft grin. The visuals are wild, and, of course, the songs are great. The whole thing feels like a cheerful fever dream. It's fun to experience once, for sure, but it's more a colourful relic than essential, life-altering cinema.?

Weaved - The Beatles: Yellow Submarine review by CP Customer
In this full-length cartoon The Blue Meanies invade Pepperland, attacking happiness, goodness and positivity – and banning music! The Beatles go to the rescue in a yellow submarine. The story is weaved or woven around some genuine Beatles recordings such as All Together Now, Eleanor Rigby, Hey Bulldog, Nowhere Man, Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, When I’m Sixty-Four, and more. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds is a strikingly inventive sequence that can take your breath away. John, Paul, George and Ringo had very little to do with the making of the film but they pop up in person at the end. Canadian-born animation director George Dunning did not have much of a track record before or after this; he died in 1979 in London at the age of 58; his place in history is assured.
