| they're gonna put me in the movies... |
The Beatles never wanted to be portrayed as cartoons, but this film was nonetheless made and became a hit. It is now considered a classic and a classic indeed. The artwork and animation is wonderful! There are not very many new Beatles songs used in the film, mainly old ones, but that doesn't matter. The Beatles do not portray their own voices in this film either, which really stinks because it would be millions and millions times funnier if the Beatles were doing their voices. Not that it's not funny because it is...and is a very entertaining movie! I would recommend this movie to all Beatles fans! One of the things I like about this movie is that Paul gets many more jokes in than he usually does...I mean, like in the other movies it seems like he has to be a little bit more serious...I don't know maybe it's just me, but this Paul seems like the Paul I see in interviews--a funny lad! One of my favorite parts is when all the Beatles go from young to younger and back to young and then old! It's funNAY! Anyhow, I like this movie, and hope you enjoy my bits about it!

Narrator: Once upon a time or maybe twice there was an eartly paradise called Pepperland. 80,000 leagues beneath the sea it lay...or lie, I'm not too sure.
Chief Meanie: Pepperland is a tickle of joy on the blue belly of the Universe. It must be scratched. Right, Max?
Max: Yes, your blueness.
Chief Meanie: WHAT? We meanies only take no for an answer! Is that understood, Max?
Max: No, your blueness.
Chief Meanie: That's better!
Chief Meanie: Today Pepperland goes blue meanie!
Cheif Meanie: Hee hee hee! I haven't laughed so much since Pompeii!
Ringo: Liverpool can be a lonely place on a Saturday afternoon. And this is only Thursday morning. (Thinking to himself) Compared with my life Eleanor Rigby was a mad gay world. Nothing ever happens to me. I feel like a splintered drumstick. I'd jump into the Mersey, but it looks like rain. Nothing ever happens to me.
Ringo: Would you believe me if I told you I was being followed by a yellow submarine?
Police Officer: No, no, I would not.
Ringo: Oh, yeah, didn't think you would. I could've sworn I saw a yellow submarine. But that isn't logical, now is
it? It must have been one of those unidentified flying cupcakes or a figment of me imagination. But I don't have an imagination.
Ringo: Oh, your story has touched me heart. Jump in and we'll get me friends.
Fred: Oh, bless you.
Ringo: Did I sneeze?
Fred: Hey, what would your friends be doing here?
Ringo: Displayin'.
Fred:Displayin' what?
Ringo: Displayin' around.
Fred: Can't we just take one of these?
Ringo: No, Fred, I only work with me mates.
Fred: Oh! Frankenstein!
Ringo: Oh, yeah, I used to go out with his sister.
Fred: His sister?
Ringo: Yeah, Phyllis.
Ringo: I wonder what would happen if I pulled this lever.
Fred: You musn't do that!
Ringo: I can't help it. I'm a born lever puller.
John: Hey, Ringo, I've just had the strangest dream.
Ringo: I warned you not to sleep on an empty stomach.
(After Fred tells his story of the Blue Meanies and asks John what he thinks.)
John: I think it needs rehearsal.
John: What day is it?
Ringo: Sitarday.
John: George'll be here then.
John: The boob is making more and more sense!
(After hearing the story.)George:Ah, you're nuts. The pair of ya.
Ringo: Hey where--where--that's my car, love.
George: How do you know it's your car, love?
Ringo: I'd know it anywhere.
George: What's it look like, then?
Ringo: Well, it's red with yellow wheels...(George drives the card by; it's changed colors.)
I mean, blue with orange wheels..
George: It's all in the mind.
Ringo: Come on, move over. I'm driving.
George: No. I got here first.
John: I'll drive if you like.
George: No, you sit in the middle.
Ringo: Oh, I'm sitting in the middle?
John: You said you were driving.
Ringo: I am driving.
George: I'll get in the back then.
George: Yes, they do look very nice don't they?
Ringo: Yes, dey do.
John: Dey do dough, don't dey?
George: Yes, dey do.
Ringo: Don't dey, dough?
George: Dough?
(Paul enters.)
John: Fa-la, dat dough!
Paul: So this is a submarine?
John: Soft, isn't it?
Ringo: Not if you're on the bottom.
Paul: Groovy. How do you start this thing?
Ringo: What time is it, Governor?
John: It's time for time.
Paul: Do you ever get the feeling...
John: Yeah.
Paul: That things aren't as rosy as they appear on the surface?
Ringo: (Much shorter, and sniffling.) I want me mum.
Paul: S-senil deliquients!
George: Hey! There's a Cyclops!
Paul: Can't be. It's got two eyes.
John: Must be a "bi-cyclops" then.
Ringo: There's another one.
John: A whole cyclopedia!
Paul: There's a school of whales.
Ringo: They look a bit old for school.
Paul: University then.
Ringo: University of Whales.
John: Well, they look like dropouts to me.
Fred: Now, whatever you do don't touch taht button.
Ringo: Which button?
Fred: That one.
Ringo: This one?
(Ringo is ejected from the submarine.)
Fred:That was the panic button.
George: Poor lad.
Paul: Never did no harm to no one.
George: He's far out there.
John: Always was.
George: Hey it's seen us! Find the boxing button!
Paul: Whoever heard of a boxing button?
George: Who cares? Find one!
Paul: Hey! Look who's back! Full speed ahead!
John: I mean you just don't want to be showin' your motor to just anybody.
John: Jeremy.
Paul: Hillary.
George: Boob.
Ringo: Ph-phud.
Jeremy: So little time, so much to know.
(Ringo wants to go back to get Jeremy and bring him along.)
Paul: I don't know. Ringo's just a sentimentalist.
Ringo: I've got a whole in me pocket!
Ringo: Pepperland seems a bit salty around the edges.
John: Okay, you guys, it's shrinking time in Pepperland.
John: (Speaking of the Blue Meanies.) Don't they look cute when they're asleep? Almost human.
John: It's blue glass.
George: It must be from Kentucky.
(The following quotes are from the end of the film when the Beatles are shown in a live segment.)
Paul: Catchy tune, that.
Ringo: I can't seem to get it out of my head.
George: Then shake it.
Ringo: That's what we've been doing all night.
George: Oh?
Paul: Yeah, it was a great party.
Ringo: Oh!
George: And we brought back lots of lovely souviners. Here is the motor.
Paul: I've got a little love.
Ringo: And I've got a hole in my pocket.
Paul: A hole?
Ringo: Well, half a hole anyway. I gave the rest to Jeremy.
George: What can he do with half a hole?
Paul: I'll fix it to keep his mind from wandering!
Ringo: Hey! Look at John, will ya?
Paul: What's the matter John, love? Blue meanies?
John: Newer and bluer meanies have been sighted in the vicinity of theis theatre.There's only one way to go out!
George: How's that?
John: Singing!
Jeremy: If I spoke prose you'd all find out, I don't know what I talk about!
John: It appears to be a group of fellas.
John: Break the glass.
George: We can't.
Paul: It's Beatle-proof.
John: Nothing is Beatle-proof!
Ringo: Look, it's Father Christmas!
Paul: That's not Father Christmas, that's Father Time.
Ringo: How'd you know that?
Paul: Well, I read it in a book.
Fred: Help! Help! Help!
Ringo: No, thanks, don't need any.
Fred: Won't you please, please, please help me!

This is going to be a list of things that I enjoy about this film,Yellow Submarine. You may add what is your favorite thing about Yellow Submarine by simply emailing me! Arright, here goes...
1. I love how all the Beatles tip-toe with their big, long black Beatle boots.
2. The entire "It's Only a Northern Song" sequence.
3. The beautiful artwork and animation.
4. The whole "When I'm Sixty-Four" bit where the Beatles all turn old and they all have long beards and it looks like they're rolling around.
5. When the lads meet the "originals", the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and how they all talk to one another like they're really not twins.
6. Even though they annoy the crap out of me sometimes, I love the false Liverpudlian accents!
7. John and Paul sort of parading across the screen during the "All You Need Is Love" Sequence.
8. At the end, during the "live" sequence where the real Beatles make an appearance, when George tells Ringo,"Well, shake it." (He tells him this because Ringo can't seem to get one of the songs from the film out of his head.)
9. Ringo pushing the red panic button.
10. George saying, "It's all in the mind, y'know."
This here will be a list of "oddities," things that have made me wonder, think, or push the rewind button! Many of these items will be in question form. Do you have an "oddity" that you'd like to share? Let me know! Until then, enjoy this list of oddities from Yellow Submarine!
1. Why does the chief Blue Meanie have yellow teeth whilst all of the other meanies have white teeth?
2. Why does "Young Fred" have hair that sticks up like...err..a unicorn's horn underneath his hat?
3. What reason does the crowd have for cheering for Paul? Why do they love Paul? Is it just because of his good looks?
4. Has Paul became a physic by asking the lads, "What's the matter fellows, blue meanies?" How did he know?
5. Did you notice how George has an ice-cream hair-do as a child?
6. John and Ringo have "bowl cuts" as children in the film!
7. The Beatles seem to look like the bubble-gum chewing girl in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory when
they get older during the "When I'm Sixty-Four" bit.
8. During "It's Only a Northern Song", the Beatles pop out of these boxes. When they go into the boxes, they are wearing
boots, but when they re-emerge they are wearing sneakers!
9. John is quite the Fred Astaire as he dances with Lucy, who's in the sky with diamonds. (Did you know that John
actually is the person who dances with her?)
10. What does this mean: the black holes turn yellow as the Beatles bump onto them...?
11. Paul has a pair of brown pants, but each leg is a different shade...now there's an oddity!
12. Why are the Beatles boots so long, slender, and immensely pointy?
13. When they introduce Billy Shears, they point to John, but I always thought Ringo was Billy Shears. Now that's odd.
14. Before and during the "All You Need is Love" part, John smokes out the word "who" like the catipillar in Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland. Remember how John always loved those stories? Odd, isn't it?
15. And finally, why do the Blue Meanies hate music so much?
