    Cinematically dazzling tale of the Beatles who save Pepperland from the Blue Meanies with their music. Joyous!

    Great just great

    The first time I saw this I felt like it was a poorly done cartoon with trippy scenes and music. Now I feel like its one of the most entrancing animated films of our time after the third veiwing. Granted, I am a Beatles nut

    They were so totally on drugs when they made this. But definitely a classic.

    this had me traumatised for a few years.

    If someone says Beatles didn't do drugs, please put him this movie. He'll understand.

    I wish they still made animated films like this. The animation style and Beatles songs fit perfectly hand in hand. Some segments were just stunning beyond belief. It's all in the mind.

    Released in the fall of 1968,this was the movie that took animation to unprecented heights never before seen. Its the greatest rock and roll band of all time in one of the trippest cartoons of all time. Special note:the rest of the film is entirely animated but toward the end is where you'll see live-action featuring the fab four at the ending credits,even though this film only runs 90 minutes. But the soundtrack to this film,oh yes the soundtrack!!! INCREDIBLE!!!!
    One of the best from the late 1960's and some of the songs that are on there are vintage classics,like "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds",
    "All You Need Is Love","Yellow Submarine",
    "Octopus' Garden","Nowhere Man", and so many more!!!
