Yellow Submarine (film)

Rare card · No. 57371

Yellow Submarine is a 1968 animated musical film inspired by the music of the Beatles, directed by George Dunning with art direction by Heinz Edelmann. Initial press reports stated that the Beatles themselves would provide their own character voices. However, apart from composing and performing the songs, the real Beatles' only participation was in the closing scene of the film; the voices of their animated counterparts were provided by voice actors. The film received widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike. Filmmaker and former Pixar and Disney chief creative officer John Lasseter has credited the film with generating wider interest in animation as a serious art form, as in the West it had been generally considered a children's medium at the time. Time commented that it delighted "adolescents and aesthetes alike". Half a century after its release, it is still regarded as a landmark of animation and among the greatest animated films of all time.
