An Animated Musical from 1968 that doesn't quite star The Beatles, produced by Al Brodax and King Features Productions and directed by George Dunning, the creators of the Beatles Saturday morning cartoon.Once upon a time, or maybe twice, there was an unearthly paradise called Pepperland, a magical under-sea utopia of peace, love and music. When the land is ravaged by the evil Blue Meanies, a race physically harmed by music and all things positive, the Lord Mayor sends a man named Fred off in the titular submarine to find help. He ends up in Liverpool, where he convinces Ringo Starr and his three "mates" to return with him and save the day with love, friendship, and rock music. Along the way, stuff happens. Very weird stuff.Best remembered for its one-of-a-kind psychedelic animation (designed by Heinz Edelmann), it's now considered the Ur-Example of the Animated Music Video, with most of the film consisting of short, usually abstract vignettes set to Beatles recordings. What it lacks in coherent narrative, it more than makes up for in colorful and imaginative imagery, showing just what animation outside of Disney was capable of. All in all, it's quite a trip.For the page about the film's Cult Soundtrack, see here.

All There in the Manual: The Bonkers, Snapping Turks and Dreadful Flying Glove are the only creatures in the Blue Meanies' army who are named in the film proper, but both production notes and supplementary materials names all of them: the clowns are the "Countdown Clowns," the cats are "The Butterfly Stompers," the bald men with pistols in their shoes are "The Hidden Persuaders" and the guys with snakes for hands are "The Jack-The-Nippers."

Never Trust a Trailer: The four-minute trailer contains nearly as much footage of live-action Beatles as the entire film does, and with the inclusion of footage of the lads horsing around with the studio equipment implies them actually having something to do with the film's production behind the scenes.

Coloring in the World: The setting of Pepperland is initially an Amazing Technicolor World, but when it gets taken over by the Blue Meanies, the land becomes gray and gloomy, and denizens shot at by the Blue Meanies' arrows become gray and motionless. The main protagonists eventually liberate Pepperland from the Blue Meanies and return its color in the process.

comment
Adaptation Expansion: The original song only mentioned that they "sailed beneath the waves, til we found a Sea of Green," and while that's still a goal of the movie (as the Sea of Green leads to Pepperland), there are many more seas the Beatles find themselves in before reaching the Sea of Green. The actual Sea of Green sequence only takes about ten seconds!

Hurricane of Puns: This is one of those movies that turns these bad puns into magic. Including the Meanie number two's name, given that The Blue Max was once a famous German medal. "Today...Pepperland goes blue-y!" "It's blue glass." "Must be from Kentucky." "[It's a] University of Whales!" "I'm a born lever-puller!" (Which wouldn't sound at all like the word "Liverpooler" if it weren't for Ringo's Liverpool accent.)note "Liverpudlian" is the actual term for a Liverpool resident. "Cut-outs at the ready, and let's cut out!" When looking for George:

Disney Acid Sequence: Replace "Disney" with "United Artists" and "Sequence" with "Whole Film". Even by the standards of the rest of the film, "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" is absolutely gloriously psychedelic (which probably didn't help the common perception that the song was secretly about LSD, something the Beatles repeatedly denied).

I'm Taking Her Home with Me! Ringo's feelings toward Jeremy manifest themselves as this more or less. Also, a line spoken by John during "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band": "You're such a lovely audience. We'd like to take you home with us. We'd love to take you home." Of course the latter is a quote from the actual song and therefore pre-dates the film.

Space Jews: The Blue Meanies. "Are you... blueish? You don't look blueish..." Production supervisor John Coates claims this moment was meant as commentary on the stereotypical casting of Jewish actors as villains. Interestingly, apparently the Blue Meanies were originally planned to be a different color, like red or purple; it was an accident that they turned out blue. Granted, "Blue Meanies" does sound better than "Purple Meanies."

Real Song Theme Tune: "Yellow Submarine," of course. It was written in 1966 for the Revolver album. Even the songs that debuted in the film were unused songs that the Beatles had written for other reasons.

Monster Clown The Meanies use really freaky looking clowns (known as "Countdown Clowns") as an alarm system. They've got no arms and really do look horrific. The noise they make when they're alarmed REALLY doesn't help. Plus, things tend to explode when you press their squeaky noses. Mark Hamill has said that his performance of The Joker in Batman: The Animated Series (and, indeed, that version's appearance) can be traced back to the Chief Blue Meanie.

What Measure Is a Non-Human?
 Yellow Submarine / int_9c45b5a2
comment
What Measure Is a Non-Human? When a monster gets inside the submarine, everyone comments on how incredibly ugly it is until it's driven to tears, at which point they kick it out of the sub. Later, when Jeremy is also brought to tears by the Beatles singing "Nowhere Man" to him (in their defense, the lyrics are an accurate portrait of him), Ringo is the only one who seems to care that they've hurt Jeremy's feelings, the other Beatles want nothing more to do with him. But Ringo gets him to come along anyway, and he does turn out to be of some assistance. Jeremy fixes the submarine's propeller (so well, unfortunately, that Fred can't turn it off and is forced to leave without the Beatles), and later helps take down the Blue Meanie Leader at the end and the Meanies into making peace.

Technobabble In a parody of his tendency towards profound pronouncements, Lennon's character attempts to explain the uncanny resemblance between themselves and Sgt. Pepper's Band. The other characters promptly laugh it off and attempt to bash open their glass prison while he's still talking. It gets better. If you listen closely, John's explanation eventually devolves into some kind of recipenote It sounds like a recipe for scrambled eggs, which was, according to legend, the working title for "Yesterday." And while John starts talking about relativity, Paul spins around and starts singing the old music-hall number "Any Old Iron" as "Any old Ein, Any old Ein, Any-any-any old Ein-stein".

Catchphrase George's is "It's all in the mind (y'know)." The production team had also had John drop this line at the end of the "Strawberry Fields" television episode. It may be a Shout-Out to The Goon Show, which sometimes used the phrase in its closing narration. Ringo: "I've got a hole in me pocket." Jeremy does this in rhyme: "Ad hoc, ad loc, and quid pro quo!/So little time, so much to know!"

Director's Cut There are at least two versions of this film — the one seen in most American theaters and available on video until about 1991, and the remastered version that has the "Hey Bulldog" sequence and some changes of pacing and sequencing in that area and available on DVD. There was also a UK broadcast version pieced together by The BBC from the available footage. This also included "Hey Bulldog" but omits some of the scenes that eventually (ahem) surfaced in the remaster.

New Powers as the Plot Demands: John suddenly gains the ability to make his words manifest into reality just in time for his "fight" with the Glove. For some reason, live-action Paul can do this by the end of the movie, too. The movie sort of justifies it by saying that John has "a big mouth", though that could just as easily be sarcasm on their part.

Sigil Spam: The very tall, lanky Apple Bonkers pick apples from a tree, and bonk Pepperlanders on their heads by dropping apples, which turns them to statues. This is an inside joke to Apple Corps Ltd., the Beatles' newly established media company.

Taken for Granite: Citizens of Pepperland who are shot by the Meanies' magic arrows or bonked by apples lose all their color and become motionless. Some of them can still move a little, or shed tears, but none of them seem to be able to speak or put up any real resistance.

Rapid Hair Growth: While the Beatles and Old Fred are in the Sea of Time they undergo Rapid Aging and their head hair (including beards and mustaches) start growing out quickly. Ironically, the song that accompanies the scene, "When I'm Sixty Four", starts with the line "When I get older, losing my hair".

In a parody of his tendency towards profound pronouncements, Lennon's character attempts to explain the uncanny resemblance between themselves and Sgt. Pepper's Band. The other characters promptly laugh it off and attempt to bash open their glass prison while he's still talking. It gets better. If you listen closely, John's explanation eventually devolves into some kind of recipenote It sounds like a recipe for scrambled eggs, which was, according to legend, the working title for "Yesterday."

Contrived Coincidence: The Beatles just happen to be perfect physical duplicates to the legendary Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band. (In a modern DVD cut John's Pepperland counterpart explicitly says he's John's alter-ego, implying that they're linked to each other in some odd metaphysical fashion) Lampshaded to a degree when the Lord Mayor meets them.

Celebrity Cameo: The Beatles had so little interest in this production that they did not even bother to record their own voices; the four "Beatles" in the movie are voiced by actors. But John, Paul, George, and Ringo did somewhat grudgingly appear in a live-action cameo that closes the film. Ironically, when they finally saw it they ended up enjoying it.

Limited Animation
 Yellow Submarine / int_e034faef
comment
Limited Animation One of the defining films of the genre, often misattributed to avant-garde artist Peter Max; and a who's-who of British animation; helped inspire Terry Gilliam of Monty Python fame. Part of what may have caused the film to underperform in its original release—keep in mind, this was made when the Beatles were at the height of their popularity and people still avoided the film. Richard Williams even points this out in his book The Animator's Survival Kit. The film never got a full release in the UK. When Submarine was first released in London in July 1968, Rank, the British distributor, reported low figures justifying cutting the film's release to half the circuit. Several days later, challenged with capacity business receipts, Rank denied making the previous statement. Richard Lester, director of A Hard Day's Night and Help!, pointed out that three films with less box-office had received a general release, but Yellow Submarine had not. "...This whole thing about releases is so bizarre. I've been looking up some figures, out of my own interest, because of this Yellow Submarine thing, and it's very sinister. You find things like The Magnificent Two and The Long Duel and The Jokers which did in the West End about two thousand pounds a week getting a full circuit release, and Yellow Submarine which did eleven thousand pounds in the West End not getting it. Strangely enough, the first three I spoke about were all Rank films."

Have a Gay Old Time
 Yellow Submarine / int_fa6bfde9
comment
Have a Gay Old Time In one scene, a British policeman calls out to a cat by the call of "Puss, puss... pussy, pussy... Here, pussy." People attacked by the tall meanie minions that drop giant apples on their heads are described as having been "bonked". Although language is cyclical, and these days people are less likely to automatically associate "bonking" with "having sex". One of Jeremy's aliases is "Boob". At the time, a boob was a silly person. The mammary meaning was well enough known that a commercial including the character [does anyone remember what product it was for?] renamed him "Jeremy Hillary Lump." Ringo's introduction also includes him stating that "Compared with my life, Eleanor Rigby's was a gay, mad whirl."
