I mean, what if it never even got finished?”Īfter a year of immense pressure, King Features delivered Yellow Submarine in time. “I was the financial guy, being responsible for a million dollars. “It was scary stuff, especially for me,” D’Angelo said. ![]() The animators went on strike, halting the production for three weeks. ![]() That’s when an already chaotic production-with D’Angelo sending money to London in small increments so they didn’t have a million dollars sitting in England-hit yet another potentially disastrous snag. “Six months into production, we were only about 40 percent finished with the film, and I was watching the numbers like crazy because you didn’t know what the hell you were gonna wind up with,” D’Angelo, whose now the chairman of King Features, told me. and London, where 250 animators were working tirelessly inside a warehouse in the SoHo neighborhood to draw 25,000 cells for Yellow Submarine, in which cartoon versions of John, Paul, George, and Ringo save an underwater fantasy world. He spent the year traveling between the U.S. In those days, animated films took years and roughly four times that much money to develop. However, the budget, and the production schedule, was an insane request. The movie needed to be finished in eleven months.Ī year earlier, Al Brodax, then the president of King Features, a company that distributes content (including comic strips) to newspapers, had pitched Beatles manager Brian Epstein on turning their hit song "Yellow Submarine" into a movie. From the paper-doll residents of Pepperland, to the tinted photography of the soot covered roofs and smokestacks Liverpool, the menagerie of fanciful characters in the Sea of Monsters, the kaleidoscopic colour-splashed rotoscoping of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, the vertigo inducing op-art of the Sea of Holes, and the triumphant euphony of the It’s All Too Much finale, the film is simply a joy.In the summer of 1967, Joe D’Angelo, a young business manager at King Features was given a million dollars and told to figure out how to finance a feature-length film with the most popular band in the world. But beyond all the glorious music, Yellow Submarine is a landmark in animation, with Heinz Edelmann’s inspired art direction conjuring up a non-stop parade of wildly different styles and techniques. So it’s The Beatles to the rescue, as our animated heroes team up with Young Fred and the Nowhere Man and journey across seven seas to free Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, make peace with the Meanies, and restore music, colour, and love to the world. Once upon a time….or maybe twice….there was an unearthly paradise called Pepperland, 80,000 leagues under the sea it lay, a place where beauty, happiness, and music reign supreme.īut this peaceful harmony is shattered when the Blue Meanies invade with their army of storm bloopers, apple bonkers, snapping turtle turks, and the menacing flying glove in an attempt to stop the music and drain Pepperland of all colour and hope. Die magische Reise ist gespickt mit surrealistischem Humor, Wortspielereien und den klassischen Songs der Beatles.Īn icon of psychedelic pop culture, Yellow Submarine is a colourful musical spectacle and an exhilaratingly joyful cinematic experience for all ages – filled with visual invention, optical illusions, word play, and glorious, glorious music. Glücklicherweise gelingt es OldFred, dem Kapitän des gelben U-Boots, John, Paul, George und Ringo in Liverpool um Hilfe zu bitten, damit in Pepperland wieder Musik, Freude und Lachen einkehren. Diese kleinen blauen Männchen hassen Musik und machen aus dem farbenfrohen Pepperland eine graue und stille Welt. Im Film wird das idyllische Pepperland von den Blaumiesen angegriffen.
