Wildly imaginative and hallicunatory. I even like the George Martin instrumental score. Some of the bits between songs drag a bit, especially towards the end, but oh what songs! Some of the absolute best Beatles tunes. "It's All Too Much" is my very favorite, and it comes at the emotional peak of the film. It blows me away.

A suprisingly good adventure, it's too bad the Beatles themselves couldn't have done the voices but the charming animation more than makes up for it. If you enjoyed Yellow Submarine, I highly suggest another animated film called "the Point".

I'm still waiting on a remake. Looking at you, Maroon 5.

The Beatles teach the little ones The Joys of Acid.

I am not a fan of The Beatles nor their music but there is something so beautiful and wonderful about this movie. Call it psychedelic if you want to but this movie made the real world a little brighter after seeing it.

Such a great cartoon. Show this to your kids! OR ELSE!
The Beatles just wanted this film to be over and done with because they couldn't be bothered making another film (but had to because of the contract they had) but when they saw the final product they loved it and you should too.

Its only flaw is a final third that doesn't live up to the first two thirds -- by the time we reach Pepperland, we've pretty much seen everything that YELLOW SUBMARINE has to show us. Which isn't to say that this isn't one of the best animated features ever -- wildly inventive and influential, an important part of my youth experience and a movie that will always rank among my highest favorites.

The music is obviously great and I can't resist a dumb pun. It's really just a load of nonsense though and I couldn't quite get with it for the entire running time.

Never cared for it, though I never was properly dosed before watching.

Lots of one-liners and puns, gloriously remastered soundtrack, and charming, naive surrealism. Great fun for anyone who likes the Beatles and the look of sixties psychedelia.

Drags in places, and the humor is frequently grating, but the animation in many of the sequences is jaw-dropping (e.g. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds). Seeing the restoration in a theater probably didn't hurt.

Very mixed bag. Some of the songs are classics and others I couldn't remember ever hearing before in my life (and I have seen this movie before). The plot is a wet dream for hippies and a boring nightmare for everyone else. The animation, especially the weird happenings in the middle, is the best part, while the worst is listening to the Beatles make the world's lamest puns. Could we get this reissued with all the dialogue cut out, it might be a solid 80.
