The Beatles - Yellow Submarine

I had this on dvd and now upgraded to blu ray...... Great improvement no regrets would highly recommend...... timeless film timeless music!!!!.

Just what I wanted.

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.

It's a cartoon classic - and this 2000 DVD edition has been digitally re-mastered for better video and audio quality. Yet, just to say, the movie has subsequently been fully restored and issued on Blu-ray (see  Yellow Submarine [Blu-ray] [2012 ]) and the improvements are amazing. As such, while I have enjoyed watching this DVD version, I do suggest that you consider the more recent 2012 release.The story involves a musical paradise, full of peace and love, being attacked and conquered by the Blue Meanie invasion force - intent of ridding this place, Pepperland, of joy and colour.

It's a great story and music

I could never have believed it, having seen the original many times, and the VHS and the first DVD version. This is staggering in clarity, and a real labour of love from the Animators.
