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

If the result seems less a coherent story than a two-hour pot high, Submarine is still a breakthrough combination of the feature film and art's intimacy with the unconscious. Full Review |

4/5 |
A garish, gorgeous example of pop art at its finest. Full Review |
||
|
|
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. Full Review |
||
|
3.5/4 |
A zesty, satisfying celebration of animation, fantasy, love, and the Beatles that pleases the eyes as much as the ears. Full Review |

|
|
Here are all the ingredients of a novel entertainment. Full Review |

|
|
This 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. Full Review |
||
 |
The animation is imaginatively conceived, but stiffly executed. Full Review |
||
|
|
There's such a wide disparity of graphic styles from sequence to sequence. Some of them, though, still look terrific. Full Review |
