Product Description

Amazon.ca

This restored, animated valentine to the Beatles offers viewers the rare chance to see a work that's been substantially improved by its technical facelift, not just supersized with extra footage. Recognizing that its song-studded soundtrack alone makes Yellow Submarine a video annuity, United Artists has lavished a frame-by-frame refurbishment of the original feature, while replacing its original monaural audio tracks with a meticulously reconstructed stereo mix that actually refines legendary original album versions.

What emerges is a vivid time capsule of the late '60s and a minor milestone in animation. The music represents the quartet's zenith--Rubber Soul, Revolver, and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The story line, cobbled together by producer Al Brodax and a committee of writers, is a broad, feather-light allegory set in idyllic Pepperland, where the gentle citizens are threatened by the nasty, music-hating Blue Meanies and their surreal arsenal of henchmen, with the Beatles enlisted to thwart the bad guys. Visually, designer Heinz Edelmann mixes the biomorphic squiggles, day-glo palette, and Beardsley-esque portraits of Peter Max with rotoscoped still photographs and film; Edelmann's animated collages also nod to Andy Warhol and Magritte in properly psychedelic fashion, which works wonderfully with such terrific songs.

High orthodox Beatlemaniacs can still grouse that the animated Fab Four are (literally) flat archetypes, but that's missing the sheer bloom of the music or the giddy, campy fun of the visuals. Making sense of the story is second to submerging blissfully in the sights and sounds of this video treat. --Sam Sutherland

Special Features

The scope of Yellow Submarine's 1999 restoration is idealized on the DVD version, which beyond its slightly letterboxed original aspect adds a stunning 5.1 sound mix that showcases the audio team's wizardry; music fans can hear the entire score without dialogue, the better to focus on such revelations as "Nowhere Man," boasting a gorgeous, full-stereo chorus, and "Only a Northern Song," with a first-time-ever stereo mix that exploits the full surround array for appropriately mind-blowing effect. Other special features include three storyboarded sequences, two of which are not seen in the final film; behind-the-scenes photos and featurette; a full-length audio commentary; and the original theatrical trailer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finalement Mar 22 2012
By Happy
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Finalement j'ai pu voir ce dessin animé qui me branche avec l'art Pop, les années hippies, les couleurs voyantes, respirant la beauté et la légèreté du Peace and Love malgré la guerre du Vietnam et toutes ces protestations. Toujours l'histoire du bon amoureux de la vie contre le mauvais tyran mortel. Les voies ne sont pas celles des Beatles, mais elles me plaisent beaucoup. J'ai aimé aussi le documentaire sur Magical Mystery Tour, Help et Hard Days Night si vous voulez entendre les vraies voies de John, Paul, George et Ringo qui ont tant parlé de l'amour et la paix dans toutes ses formes.

5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter is 5 and loves it! July 6 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
I never thought the movie was great until my 5 year old started watching it. I am hooked (or re-hooked on the Beatles). The music and images are far better than anything on TV. Sure, squint your eyes (or ears) real hard and find some type of references to the 60's - but the're not there if you simply enjoy the feast.

My daughter now hums the songs, we have a Beatles poster in her room - - an no more Sponge Bob, Scooby Doo, or those Princesses. YEA!

4.0 out of 5 stars More like watching a nice dream or a hallucination Dec 20 2011
By Say No More 67
Format:DVD
Can't give 5 stars but the movie is enjoyable. DVD has English subtitles which is good. Lots of pun-based humor. The animation does feel like 40 years old, and at the beginning its a bit annoying because it's "jumpy"/low FPS, but I got used to it.
The movie has a weird and surrealist feeling, that I liked.

5.0 out of 5 stars The last Blue Meanie (Paul Angelis) was seen in 1968.
In my case that was 1969. That's when I saw this in a double billing with Barbarella (1968) at West Point, NY.

The music is great and it brings back a part of history. Read more
