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
Not available anymore thanks to Mr McCartney!
I give this film a 10 because it was (and is) the Beatles story in a 2 hour nutshell. The rights to the film were brought by McCartney prior to the release of the Anthology documentary, presumably to cancel out the obvious rivalry that would occur on the high street! So i'm afraid, unless you have got a copyalready the chances of getting a new DVD of it are extremely remote! The fact that the Beatles didn't have any input into this documentary is a good thing, mainly because 'Anthology' is the Beatles story, according to the Beatles, so heavily censored, this constraint is not present on 'Compleat'. Love the music and when I first watched the film i was knocked out by it!
