Editorial Reviews

Product Description
A unique look at the behind-the-scenes production of The Beatles Yellow Submarine, a landmark film in design and animation. Based on interviews with over 40 of the film's original creators, the author carefully and wittily reveals how a film that so perfectly captures the essence of the Beatles and the flower power scene was created, despite almost no input from the Beatles. Also explained are the reasons behind the film's renovation, why the Beatles decided to remix and digitize their songs for the first time ever, and why certain scenes cut from the film have been restored.

5.0 out of 5 stars A treasure trove of fun and info for Yellow Submariners!, January 13, 2000

By	John DiBello (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

You can't exactly call it a book--it's a very professionally printed fanzine, 56 pages, on heavy glossy stock with lots of color (75 color illustrations and photos, most on the smallish side but well-reproduced) and much b/w. It's a great overall look at the celebration of the reissued version of YS, with articles on the reissue, an intro by Erich Segal, examinations of the art, mythology, origins and creation of the movie, a very extensive section on YS collectibles and memorabilia, and even real-life Yellow Submarine UFO sightings! (It's all in the mind, you know.) A wonderful companion for every Beatles fan young and old, and a necessity for the Yellow Sub scholars and completists. All you need is love...oh, and this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic film, groovy book!, August 25, 2000

By	Lindsay Stern (Hondo, TX United States) - See all my reviews

I have always been a Beatles' fan and this book (or journal) is very nicely detailed. Lots of far-out pictures, even if they are rather small; the interviews and bio's are very good; and this book is great if you don't know much about the film and would like to know more. I highly reccomend it!
