Plot: Yellow Submarine is an animated meandering journey filled with puns and dry British humor, where psychedelic music videos take precedent over any linear story. What little there is of a plot, however, concerns a vibrantly colored place called Pepperland that resembles the album cover for {^Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band} come to life. The swirling animation is a mixture of pop-culture images and modern artistic styles brought loosely together with a naïve antiwar message and some clever political commentary. The Blue Meanies take over Pepperland, draining it of all its color and music, firing anti-music missiles, bonking people with green apples, and turning the inhabitants to stone by way of the pointed finger of a giant white glove. As the only survivor, the Lord Admiral escapes in the yellow submarine and goes to London to enlist the help of the Beatles (voiced by actors). The charming and innocent boys travel through strange worlds and meet bizarre characters, including the tagalong Nowhere Man. Several blissed-filled musical sequences and drug references later, the Beatles drive out the Blue Meanies and restore Pepperland to tranquility armed with only music, love, and witty remarks. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Great Classic Psychadellic
Added 11/23/2009

As good as I remember it in college. I got this for my 10 year old daughter and 8 of her friends to watch. The loved it! Sang along and knew all the words. Wish it would be re-released. A little weird for kids much younger--some of them thought it was strange and did not understand some of the parts.

It is a bit pricey but make sure you get an original and not a pirate version.

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE!!!
Added 11/9/2009

Una muy buena historia, los legendarios BEATLES acompañados de sus "alter egos" los chicos de la banda del Sargento pimienta y una gran gama de curiosos, divertidos y simpaticos personajes con una historia fantastica, fuera de lo comun y muy bonita, ideal para chicos y grandes, donde los buenos son muy ingenuos y los malos son muertos de la risa; personajes tan destacables por sus ocurrencias y disparates como el mismo RINGO, el curiosisimo pero tambien tierno JEREMY (el "Nowhere Man"), un capitan muy ansioso pero graciosamente agradable, el lider de los "Blue Meanies" es uno de los villanos mas divertidos y jocosos que he visto en la pantalla, y una tierna historia donde "Todo lo que necesitas es amor", con brillantes y fuertes colores y una amplia gama de psicodelismo que la hacen una DELICIA a los ojos; francamente una JOYA de pelicula que nada tiene que envidiarle a la Disney o a la Warner...es incluso NOSTALGICA!!!

Letterboxing Cuts Off Top and Bottom!
Added 10/3/2009

I thought this looked odd when I watched it on DVD in the letterboxed widescreen format. My fears were confirmed when I found a copy of the VHS "full frame" version at a yard sale (for 50 cents -- what a deal!).

It turns out that part of the top and bottom of the movie were covered to create the widescreen version (which I think was the only version available on DVD). There is more picture at top and bottom in the full-frame VHS version! Although the left and right are trimmed a little on the VHS full-frame version, that's not nearly as noticeable (and annoying) as the missing top and bottom on the DVD.

If this ever is released again (maybe when the remake comes out), I hope we get the full picture next time. Trying to watch it with the top and bottom or the sides missing is a less than ideal experience, to say the least.
