Consensus: A joyful, phantasmagoric blend of colorful animation and the music of the Beatles, Yellow Submarine is delightful (and occasionally melancholy) family fare.

Reviews for Yellow Submarine
Top CriticA garish, gorgeous example of pop art at its finest.
09/02/08
There's a quiet note of melancholy in much of this material, which is much more persuasive and concrete than the larky, intoxicating pleasure usually claimed for the film.

Top CriticA zesty, satisfying celebration of animation, fantasy, love, and the Beatles that pleases the eyes as much as the ears.

Top CriticHere are all the ingredients of a novel entertainment.

Top CriticThis 1968 Beatles musical gets somewhat plot heavy near the end, but it's a marvel of innocence and free association, blending several animation techniques in a loose narrative full of gentle bad puns and flowing visual segues.
09/06/07
Top CriticThe animation is imaginatively conceived, but stiffly executed.
09/06/07
Top CriticThere's such a wide disparity of graphic styles from sequence to sequence. Some of them, though, still look terrific.
