As they did in swinging London, The Beatles stir the peace loving Pepperlandians to revolution, 33 and a third per minute to be precise, against the oppressive Apple Bonkers, Butterfly Stompers, Clowns, Snapping Turtle Turks, the dreaded Flying Glove, the Chief Blue Meanie and his untrustworthy sidekick, Max. The formerly fab four are mere travelers to Pepperland, called there to restore the music that the anti-music missiles of the Blue Meanies silenced.
Pepper’s Lonely Heart Club’s Band, and of course, the originals, The Beatles. The band is all here in the graphic novel: The Lord Mayor of the musical republic of Pepperland, Old Fred, and the national beat-keepers, Sgt. Yellow Submarine captured the flower power era of peace, love and, well, why go on when love is all you need. The artwork was done by Dunning, Peter Max, and Heinz Edelmann. The film was directed by George Dunning from a screenplay by Lee Minoff, Jack Mendelsohn, Love Story writer Erich Segal, and Al Brodax, who was responsible for the Beatles half-hour cartoons.

The movie was based on the song of the same name, written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, sung by Ringo Starr, with George Harrison forever blowing bubbles in a George Martin production. And this kind of project comes with a lot of expectations.įilms like Yellow Submarine happen once or maybe twice upon a time. The Beatles Yellow Submarine takes the film’s most indelible images and lovingly puts them in as faithful a story form as be expected. We can’t all live in a Yellow Submarine, but Bill Morrison’s graphic novel based on the animated rock-music-infused classic film opens the portals for more room without flooding the cabin.
