Yellow Submarine


No other Pop or Rock and Roll group has ever influenced society as much as The Beatles. During the 1960s The Beatles changed from a mop top quartet to one of the most influential musical groups in the world.


As the group’s music style matured so too did The Beatle themselves. America and the world mimicked the many transformations the group went through.


The Beatles not only influenced music, but fashion, morality and religion as well. It seemed like every area The Beatles moved into, they, and those they associated with, transformed each one.


In 1968 The Beatles tackled animation with the introduction of their animated feature, Yellow Submarine-based on a Beatles song.


In the film animation was taken to a new level. Traditional tried and true animation staples were challenged and changed resulting in a mind-blowing animated feature with memorable characters, a bizarre environment and some of the most carefully choreographed musical animation pieces ever attempted up to that point.


Every conceivable type of animation trick was used and few new ones were introduced. Apple Films presents the newly re-mastered and digitally enhanced re-release of the classic Beatles animated feature: Yellow Submarine on DVD.


Also contained on the DVD are featurettes about the cast, animation team and the music that transformed feature length animation forever.”All aboard for the trip of your life!”
