"Yellow Submarine" is a unique product of its time and remains a stunning example of the unlimited potential of animation. When The Beatles, having starred in several live action films, turned to animation, their popular song Yellow Submarine seemed an ideal basis. The three most important people in creating the film were executive producer Al Brodax, who transformed the song into a motion picture script, George Dunning, who directed it, and graphic artist Heinz Edelmann, who designed the films distinctive and flamboyant appearance.
Often considered as an alternative to the realism of the Disney films, "Yellow Submarine" employed brilliant colors and surrealistic designs, using a variety of techniques, including still photographs, rotoscoping, cutouts and live-action film. The strength of the film lies mainly in its musical appeal and visual inventiveness, rather than in its drama; the film is quite long for an animated feature, and its storyline simple.
