Yellow Submarine (1968)

Yellow Submarine was an animated film featuring The Beatles. It was released in 1968, to fulfill a 3-picture deal, that included A Hard Days Night (1964); Help! (1965).And like the first two films, this was, in essence, a music-delivery device. It was agreed that the band would supply 4 new songs - All Together Now, Hey Bulldog, It’s All Too Much, and Only A Northern Song - for the film. These new songs would be heard in the film along with 12 other recently released songs, including Nowhere Man, Eleanor Rigby, Yellow Submarine, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, When I’m 64, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, With A Little Help From My Friends, and All You Need Is Love . Beatles producer George Martin would provide the score."And what was that story? In a nut shell, Pepperland, an open, peace-loving land, comes under attack by a fascist, militaristic group known as the Blue Meanies. Fred, is sent by the Lord Mayor, in the Yellow Submarine to enlist help. The Sub ends up in Liverpool England where Fred finds Ringo and the other Beatles. After travelling over various psychedelic lands and seas The Band returns to Pepperland (with Jeremy, a Boob they’ve picked up along the way) to confront the Blue Meanies.All told, over 200 animators worked on the film in the TVC offices in Soho."Please listen to hear the rest of the story, and Troy and David's reactions to their latest re-watch.Season 7 is our ALL MOVIE season.
