YELLOW SUBMARINE (1968) - Starring - Paul Angelis,John Clive,Dick Emery,Geoffrey Hughes,Lance Percival - Movie Disc only Free Post - Colour
Yellow Submarine (also known as The Beatles: Yellow Submarine) is a 1968 animated jukebox musical fantasy adventure comedy film inspired by the music of the Beatles, directed by animation producer George Dunning, and produced by United Artists and King Features Syndicate. Initial press reports stated that the Beatles themselves would provide their own character voices. However, apart from composing and performing the songs, the real Beatles' only participation was in the closing scene of the film; the voices of their animated counterparts were provided by voice actors.
The film received widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike, in contrast to the Beatles' previous film venture Magical Mystery Tour. Pixar co-founder and former chief creative officer John Lasseter has credited the film with generating wider interest in animation as a serious art form, as it had been generally considered a children's medium at the time.Time commented that it "turned into a smash hit, delighting adolescents and aesthetes alike". Half a century after its release, it is still regarded as a landmark of animation.
Plot
Pepperland is a cheerful, music-loving paradise under the sea, home to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The titular Yellow Submarine rests on an Aztec-like pyramid on a hill. At the edge of the land is a range of high blue mountains.
The land falls under a surprise attack from the music-hating Blue Meanies, who live beyond the mountains. The attack starts with a music-proof glass globe that imprisons the band. The Blue Meanies fire projectiles and drop apples (a reference to the Beatles' then-new company Apple Corps)[10] that render Pepperland's residents immobile as statues, and drain the entire countryside of colour.
In the last minutes before his capture, Pepperland's elderly Lord High Mayor sends Old Fred to get help. The Apple Bonkers "bonk" the Mayor with several large apples as Fred takes off in the Yellow Submarine ("Yellow Submarine"). He travels to Liverpool ("Eleanor Rigby"), where he follows a depressed Ringo to "The Pier", a building on the top of a hill, and persuades him to return to Pepperland with him. Ringo collects his mates John, George, and Paul. The four decide to help Old Fred, and journey with him back to Pepperland in the submarine ("All Together Now"). They pass the Sea of Time ("When I'm Sixty-Four"), the Sea of Science ("Only A Northern Song"), and the Sea of Monsters, where Ringo presses the forbidden panic button, and gets swept out of the submarine. John, Paul and George manage to save Ringo with a rescue button, bringing him back into the submarine. In the Sea of Nothing, they meet Jeremy Hillary Boob Ph.D., a short and studious creature ("Nowhere Man"). Ringo invites the Boob to join them aboard the submarine. They arrive at the Foothills of the Headlands ("Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds"), where they are accidentally separated from the submarine and Fred. They then find themselves in the Sea of Holes, where Ringo picks up a hole and puts it in his pocket. Jeremy is kidnapped by a Blue Meanie, and when Ringo steps on a green hole, it turns into the Sea of Green, which brings the group to Pepperland.
Reuniting with Old Fred and reviving the apple-bonked Lord Mayor, they look upon Pepperland's now-miserable, grey landscape. The Beatles dress up as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, steal some instruments, and rally the land to rebellion ("Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and "With A Little Help From My Friends"). The Chief Blue Meanie retaliates by sending out the Dreadful Flying Glove, which John defeats ("All You Need Is Love"). Pepperland is restored to colour as its residents revive and flowers re-bloom. Ringo uses the hole in his pocket to release the Lonely Hearts Club Band, and they join the Beatles in combating the Meanies' multi-headed dog ("Hey Bulldog"). Ringo then rescues Jeremy, who performs some "transformation magic" on the Chief Blue Meanie, causing the Meanie to bloom roses and sadly concede defeat. John extends an offer of friendship, and the Chief Blue Meanie has a change of heart and accepts, confessing that he is related to the Bluebird of Happiness. The Beatles, the Blue Meanies and the Pepperlandians then celebrate their new peace and love ("It's All Too Much").
The film ends with a segment featuring the real Beatles, who playfully show their souvenirs from their journey: George has the submarine's motor, Paul has "a little 'love'," and Ringo has "half a hole" in his pocket (having apparently given the other half to Jeremy, though Paul recommends to "fix it to keep his mind from wondering"). John, looking through a telescope, tells the group, and the audience, that "newer and bluer Meanies have been sighted within the vicinity of this theatre" and that everyone will need to sing to ensure the audience escapes. The Beatles then lead the audience in a sing along to "All Together Now", which ends with translations of the song's title in various languages appearing in sequence on the screen.
