Summary: A hillarious and entertaining video
Review: I own this movie and nobody in my family has or will every think this movie isn't one of their favorites. Though the plot is strange, but the movie is still hillarious.

Summary: A feast for the senses
Review: After renting this movie I'm was extremely happy that the Beatles decided to restore this movie. The colors are vibrant and the soundtrack is crystal clear. I definitely want to see this movie in DVD.

Summary: Imaginative and fun!
Review: Yellow Submarine may not make much sense plot-wise, and the dialogue isn't exactly oscar-worthy, the music is great and the animation is unique and stunning. It may not be the highest quality, but it's always visually interesting and a nice complement to the music (take Eleanor Rigby & Lucy in the Sky sequences for an example). It's a fun-to-watch movie, even for those who don't like the Beatles.

Summary: dull and uninspired
Review: I've seen this movie three times: once decades ago in black and white on television, once a few years ago in color on video, and just recently the revamped version (VHS). It's basically a feature-length version of the sixties Saturday-morning Beatles cartoon television series. In his "All You Need is Ears", George Martin explains how the Beatles considered both the King Features television show and the King Features Yellow Submarine movie a rip-off and stubbornly resisted co-operating with the latter. They were eventually persuaded to contribute four original songs: "It's All Too Much", "Only a Northern Song", "All Together Now", and "Hey, Bulldog." "Only a Northern Song" is an outtake from "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band", initially rejected by George Martin. The other songs were--presumably--intended as throwaways, though "Hey, Bulldog", by an odd quirk of fate, is actually quite good. In any case, as for the movie itself, children might find it mildly entertaining; adults are unlikely to find it entertaining at all. As for the revamping, I noticed there is more footage, which makes it even more tedious, and I noticed the songs have been remixed, but the visuals looked just the same to me--crude and very much un-state-of-the-art even in 1968 when it was originally released. As for the remixing of the songs, it is just awful. Were it not for the remixing of the songs I'd give this two stars for Beatles sentiment's sake.

Summary: Better than I remember!
Review: Yes, this film is fun, colorful and puts a different spin on many fantastic famous Beatle songs. The animation is so different than any other and it is so imaginative, I consider it one of the finest animation achievments. This is the first movie my 4-year-old has watched solidly from beginning to end, I think its creativity has her spellbound.

Summary: Psychadelic and Unique
Review: I have loved this movie from the time I was a kid....and it is STILL fun to watch. The pop-art animation is outstanding, and of course, the music is top-notch. Also, there is added footage that was new to me (Hey, Bulldog)--a welcome surprise. Don't expect to see the real Beatles, though, until the end when they make a brief appearance, warning the audience of more Blue Meanies in the vacinity of "this theater". The DVD has some neat features, including the original theatrical trailer, a documentary showing how it was made (filmed during the making of the film), and interviews with various animators and voice talents (and no, the Beatles didn't do their own voice work in the film). Also, you can isolate the music/score from the dialog.

Summary: very cool
Review: I just finished watching Yellow Submarine and i enjoyed it very much. I compare it to "The Wall" in a certain way. Maybe because it's another band movie. The great thing about it is,of course, the music."Nowhere Man" and "Elenor Rigby" rank as some of my favorite songs from the movie. And going along with the animation seemed to fit it. All the colors in the movie were tremendous and i have heard it being compared to an acid trip. But i enjoyed the hell of of it, without the acid.
