Yellow Submarine has serendipitously been brought back because people are seeking meaning more than ever.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 31, 2018

A recently restored 4K restoration of The Beatles'Yellow Submarine with full 5.1 Dolby sound has made its way into theaters and it's absolutely perfect.

| Jul 15, 2018

It's hard not to overstate the role of Yellow Submarine in the growth of animated film, even if it took many of those whom it influenced a few decades to start producing their own work.

Even if it was originally intended for adolescent and post adolescent Beatles fans, it should still be a marvelous experience for children with its bright colors, flowing movement, and wonderful music.

The plot and the wry dialogue takes cues from Beatles lyrics and from Edelmann's designs.

Written around the songs as it is, the film makes good use of them and they add to rather than distracting from the narrative.

Yellow Submarine is a diverting novelty.

Whether the film is a contract filling cartoon cash-in or a masterfully animated psychedelic timepiece is a hard nut to crack. In the end, I think it's actually a bit of both, but that won't stop me from watching it again.

Sure, some of the puns and in-jokes sound a little dated, but any movie that strings together lines from Shakespeare merely as a throwaway comic riff is, in my book, a film for the ages.

| Original Score: B | Dec 8, 2014

An endlessly inventive picture that blends 1960s psychedelia with such diverse styles as pop art and Art Deco to create the fantastical world of Pepperland and its bizarre inhabitants.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 8, 2014

A unique and often brilliant animated film that pictures the Beatles as towering and often god-like gentlemen who have the power to change worlds...

An outrageously inventive piece of eye-popping pop, it still qualifies as one of the greatest animated movies ever made. (It also landed in the number 11 spot on Creative Loafing's own list of The 20 Greatest Rock Films Ever Made.)

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 19, 2012

Whether it was a case of inspiration or coincidence, most of Yellow Submarine's more creative and graceful visuals are those that complement the songs.

The 1968 animated classic by the Beatles as their declaration of independence.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 5, 2012

If the film's mod trappings seem locked in a specific (and increasingly distant) era, its playful wit remains timeless.
