Yellow Submarine

 

Yellow Submarine

  • Director: George Dunnin
  • Based on novel: no
  • Cast: Animated
  • Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in
    • Animated
  • Why? The song.
  • Seen: Previously: several times Now 31 July 2024 

After yesterday’s 0* film I need to clean out my poor head. What could be better than this whimsical classic? Any film about the Blue Meanies has to be a winner, right?

It was a shock back then to learn that the Beatles’ third film with United Artists would be animated and it will never come close to A Hard Day’s Night or Help! But it has its nonsense absurd humour and clever colourful action. And of course, some good songs, not the least of which the title song upon which the film is based.

I wonder what kids today would think of it. The story is practically non-existent, it’s not even their voices, the animation is stone-age.

But it’s still fun. 

3* of 5
