Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPaul McCartney bought the rights to this film and removed it from circulation, presumably so that it wouldn't compete with the Beatles' official 'Beatles Anthology' documentary.
- GoofsWhen they were told about the cartoon movie, Yellow Submarine, the narration states that the only thing the Beatles knew about the cartoon animation was that it was being done by the people that made "The Flintstones," a Hanna-Barbera Production.
Yellow Submarine was produced by Al Brodax and King Features Syndicate.

Featured review
Well titled movie indeed!
For any fan of the Beatles, this movie answers many questions, gives deeper insight, and entertains with lighthearted and yet sometimes depressing details. From the authoritative narration of Mr. McDowell to the unintended comical interviews with other musicians of that era and locale, this movie is pure entertainment in a delightful and educational process that leaves you feeling as if all of your previous fanaticism for these "4 mop-tops" was truly justified if not understated. My only wish it that it be made into a high quality DVD. This is a must-see for any fan of popular music and for anyone that never quite understood the whole Beatlemania thing. A definite 10!
