The Beatles: Yellow Submarine [DVD] [1968]

Love the Beatles, love this. Great animation and brilliant songs.

Avsolute timeless, classic, animated adventure. Great for all ages to sing along to amd enjoy the look of. DVD comes in a cased, gate fold box with extra goodies that I didn't expect but was very to pleased to get. Great item 🤘

I remember this film so clearly from my childhood but haven't seen it for years. Very happy that I bought this blu-ray - nice clear, crisp picture and sound, housed in a well designed slip-cover with various, interesting, extras, including a booklet, stickers etc. Recommended. When we watched it, as children, 64 seemed so far away and yet, here we are already!

I had seen this movie on TV and being fond of the Beatles and their music, decided to buy this DVD but it was shown on Amazon. When I got this, I found out that I got more then what I was expecting. This one is a special edition as not only does it have a few extra things as well as the movie itself but also had some stills of the colourful drawn characters from the movie on actual clear acrylic paper and the colours stand out when placed behind a white background. The movie is just how I had seen it with the colourful animated characters, a tense storyline together with catchy music, some from the Beatles famous album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band that is based around this movie. For any fans of the Beatles, I would highly recommend buying this DVD as it contains some extra items that are well worth keeping together with some classical 60s memorabilia that helped made the Beatles very popular worldwide.

For lovers of the Beatles particularly of the era it’s nostalgic overload.

This is the "Yellow Submarine" on Blu-ray - a full-length animated film, from 1968, featuring a very psychedelic Beatles on a mission to save Pepperland from the Blue Meanies ... It's a cartoon classic that been fully restored and digitally re-mastered, with 4K picture quality and Dolby 5.1 surround sound. Comparing this new version to the old DVD release - The Beatles: Yellow Submarine [DVD] [1968 ] (which I bought in 2002) - the improvements are amazing. The clarity and definition of the images is superb, and the colours are vivid and far brighter. While there's not much more included in terms of special features, the item does include some artwork and stickers. The story involves a musical paradise, full of peace and love, being attacked and conquered by the Blue Meanie invasion force - intent on ridding this place, Pepperland, of joy and colour. Yet one man, Captain Fred, manages to escape in his yellow submarine ... and he goes in search of the Beatles - who, through their singing, possess the means to stopping the meanies. Fortunately, the Beatles agree to take part in this quest - and the adventure begins. On their way to Pepperland, we witness the Fab Four visit a myriad of strange and wondrous places (as well as meeting the Nowhere Man). And, finally, as the Beatles sing so the evil powers of the Blue Meanies fade away. This is a very surreal animated film, made in 1968 - immediately following on from the 'Sgt. Pepper' and 'Magical Mystery Tour' phase of the Beatles career during the Summer of Love. It's fun and entertaining, not least because of the fantastic music. Four (then) new songs were included in the movie: 'All Together Now', 'Hey Bulldog', 'Only A Northern Song' and 'It's All Too Much'. Several other Beatles songs also feature, including 'Eleanor Rigby', 'When I'm Sixty-Four', 'Nowhere Man', 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds', 'All You Need Is Love', and the title track 'Yellow Submarine'. The album is available: Yellow Submarine Songtrack . It's a shame that Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr didn't provide the voice work in the film, although the voice actors do a great job. And, fortunately, the Beatles make a (brief) appearance at the end. The animation itself is brilliant, albeit often creatively weird. If you're a Beatles fan then I highly recommend this movie. It's fun for children and adults alike, and now stands as a timeless classic.

One of my all time favourite films. Seems to be a really good and clean transfer to Blu-ray, with good restored original sound - with no THX problems. Massively surreal, beautiful story & great animation - and made by one of the most talented bands of all time. And if you can feel it, Yellow Submarine has real spiritual depth. If you don't have the album already the inspiration for The Yellow Submarine is the Album 'Sargent Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band' which every person who likes this needs to listen to. The Yellow Submarine album is basically the songs from the film and has a few standouts not on Sargent Pepper - eg 'Yellow Submarine', 'Nowhere Man', and 'Bulldog'. (there are two versions with different track lists - the SongTrack version has Nowhere Man and other extra Beatles tracks, while the original version maybe has a better order and the orchestral pieces)

Love this film its brilliant it never gets old, if you love the Beatles then you have got to buy this dvd!. You won't be disappointed! My children love it too. Its lovely us all singing along while watching. It's a brilliant film for all the family. A timeless classic! Perfect clear quality it even comes with stickers of the Beatles and a little info leaflet which I wasn't expecting to get. I highly recommend to anyone :)

Très satisfait de ce DVD, un classique pour ma collection. Il est arrivé en parfait état et bien emballé. La livraison a été un peu plus longue que prévu, mais c'est normal en décembre. Le vendeur était très aimable et m'a rapidement communiqué les coordonnées de livraison. Livraison impeccable. Merci !

W mojej opinii najlepszy remaster Beatlesów. Wszystko uporządkowane i na swoim miejscu.

Eine Zeitreise zurück in die 1960er Jahre. Und das im gelben Unterseeboot. Wer auch nur ein bisschen Ahnung hat, wird den Stil des Films den späten 1960er Jahren zuordnen. Aber der Grund für diese Zuordnung liegt nicht einfach darin, dass der Film so sehr von seiner historischen Umgebung beeinflusst, sondern zu einem erheblichen Teil ist es gerade umgekehrt: Dieser Film wurde stilprägend. Die Message ist deutlich, aber nicht aufdringlich. Einer grauen, verwalteten und uniformierten Welt werden Phantasie und individuelle Selbstverwirklichung gegenübergestellt. Doch das alles ist keine bloße Behauptung. Der Film nutzt die Mittel der Animation, um zahllose Metamorphosen zu präsentieren. Nichts ist festzementiert, alles kann sich verwandeln. Der berühmte Satz, es komme darauf an, die Verhältnisse zum Tanzen zu bringen, – hier findet er seine Umsetzung. Das Traumartige verleiht dem Film eine Zeitlosigkeit, die auch dadurch nicht wirklich beeinträchtigt wird, dass man viele Anspielungen erst entschlüsseln muss und einige von ihnen zeitgebunden sind. Der Film ist exzellent restauriert. Offenbar ist hier immense Handarbeit geleistet worden. Die Farben strahlen und der Ton scheint mir einwandfrei. Als Extras gibt es neben dem Trailer ein zeitgenössisches Featurette (»Mod Odyssey«), Storyboard-Auszüge, Behind-the-Scenes-Fotos und (leider sehr kurze) Interviewsequenzen mit einigen Filmschaffenden. Neben der englischen Originalfassung ist auch die deutsche (und auch die italienische) Synchronfassung enthalten. Untertitel sind ebenfalls verfügbar. Das 16-seitige Booklet ist gut gemacht und informativ. John Lasseter (Pixar) hat ein Vorwort beigesteuert. Dazu gibt es noch für die, die es brauchen, Aufkleber mit Filmmotiven und vier Reproduktionen von Folien mit den jeweiligen Zeichentrick-Beatles. Fazit: Was will man mehr?

Although I own both the 1988 Yellow Submarine [VHS ] and the 1999 DVD version of Yellow Submarine , I finally saw the film on the big screen in Fairfax, VA, for the first time today, and it was fantastic! The print was the best I have ever seen, and it is brand-new, not a reissue of the 1999 version. The soundtrack was excellent as well; though some of The Beatles' songs had strange-sounding mixes, that was probably the fault of the theater sound system. I am really looking forward to receiving the new DVD in June. I will add to this review after I have a chance to watch the new DVD. Stay tuned... UPDATE: I have now watched all of the new DVD, and the picture quality on the new version is much sharper and less grainy than the 1999 release; the soundtrack is much improved as well. There are some differences between the two versions, which I will discuss now. AUDIO OPTIONS: 1999: English 5.1 Surround (non-DTS); English Mono, 5.1 Surround (non-DTS) Music-Only Track (not on 2012 version, unfortunately). 2012: English Dolby Stereo, English Mono, English DTS 5.1 Surround, German 5.1 Surround (non-DTS), Italian 5.1 Surround (non-DTS). The commentary track, featuring John Coates and Heinz Edelmann, is the same on both versions. SUBTITLES: 1999: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese (Only English and French are listed on the packaging). 2012: English, German, Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Polish (no Japanese - sorry, Yoko), and "Hard-of-Hearing" (HOH) English and German. I wasn't sure what the difference was at first, but the HOH versions have parenthetical onscreen mentions of sound effects (e.g., (Laughter), (Giggling), (Explosion)), whereas the standard English and German subtitles do not. SPECIAL FEATURES: "Mod Odyssey" Featurette - same content on both versions; transferred "as is" on the 1999 version, but newly restored on the 2012 version. Original theatrical trailer - same content on both versions; transferred "as is" on the 1999 version, but newly restored on the 2012 version. Also, the Apple Corps logo replaces the United Artists logo at the end of the trailer. Interviews - same on both versions. Storyboard sequences - appear to be the same content, but are presented in full-screen mode on the 1999 version, whereas they are in small boxes on the 2012 version. For example, the "Sea of Monsters" storyboard sequence from 1999 has the storyboard sequence running at the top, with the film clip at the bottom. On the 2012 edition, the two segments run side-by-side in little boxes, which are hard to see. Pencil drawings: The 1999 version has 29 drawings, the 2012 version has only 26 (the three Hey Bulldog cels are missing). Has the same presentation problems as the storyboard sequence (full-size in 1999, smaller in 2012). Behind-the-scenes photos - There are 30 full-screen photos in the 1999 version, but only 29 in the 2012 version. Once again, the 2012 photos are smaller. Also, the 1999 version has a counter at the bottom center of the screen for the storyboards, photos, and pencil drawings. The 2012 version does not, and it is very tedious to count them manually. Booklet: The 2012 booklet has a new essay by John Lasseter of Walt Disney Studios, and reproduces all of the mini-essays from the 1999 version. The booklet also has more artwork. The package also comes with four mini-cels of the cartoon John, Paul, George, and Ringo, a sticker sheet of both the individual and collective cartoon Beatles, a Blue Meanie, the Flying Glove ("It's not polite to point!"), Jeremy Hillary Boob, the LOVE logo, and the Yellow Submarine itself. There is also a promotional flyer for the Yellow Submarine: Midi Edition picture book and the LOVE Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas (this is Apple, so what do you expect?). Look for the 1999 version if you want the original non-DTS English 5.1 soundtrack, the "music-only" non-DTS 5.1 soundtrack, the Japanese subtitles, and a full-screen presentation of the storyboards, pencil drawings, and behind-the-scenes photos. Otherwise, get the 2012 version. Of course, serious Beatles collectors will want both versions, as well as the 1988 VHS (which has the original 1968 U.S. edit of the film without the "Hey Bulldog" sequence - the original U.K. film had "Bulldog," at least in some early prints), if they don't already have them.
