Yellow Submarine

I wish that I owned this DVD...
This film is so freaking awesome. Sadly, MGM discontinued it. Why did they do that before I got a chance to buy it?! Ugh. Anyways, this is a classic, and the reason why I love the Beatles. A childhood favorite of mine. I simply love it.

Timeless Animation
Director George Dunning's "Yellow Submarine" (1968) represents a landmark achievement in the history of animation. Like the Beatles' music, the film has a timeless quality. Though the Fab Four's association with the project certainly helped, it was the endless imagination of Dunning, designer Heinz Edelmann and numerous animators that propelled the film to remarkable visual heights. (Regrettably, the Beatles did not provide voices to their animated counterparts. Instead, the producers hired Liverpool actors, who did a passable job emulating the group's deadpan wit.) Accompanied by the Beatles' classic songs, "Yellow Submarine" exposed viewers to a new and innovative vision of the cartoon medium. The film remains a masterwork of sight and sound.
