Yellow Submarine/YMMV


 * Awesome Music: It's The Beatles -- go figure. George Martin's compositions aren't bad either.
 * Big Lipped Alligator Moment: Oh, where to begin! Ringo's entire house could be called a Big Lipped Alligator MANSION.
 * Show of hands: how many people secretly wish they lived in that mansion? (Raises hand.)
 * Cult Classic
 * Heartwarming Moments: Arguably when Old Fred reunites with the Lord Mayor with a hug when the Beatles free him with a song.
 * Periphery Demographic: The movie was intended for a teenaged/adult audience, but has seen glorious success as a trippy way to introduce kids to The Beatles' music.
 * John claimed in one of his last interviews that while raising Sean, he and Yoko deliberately tried to keep John's Beatles history away from him, and played down being a millionaire pop star. It was only when Sean saw Yellow Submarine for the first time while at a sleepover at a friend's house that Sean recognized his dad in the film, and thus his role in the Beatles.
 * Vindicated By History: The film was initially a flop and killed the non-Disney feature animation market for years. Animator Richard Williams, a fan of the film, claimed that the jerky, start-stop animation was to blame--it must have been, since The Beatles were at the height of their popularity by this point! That said, it has gained a Cult Classic following over the years.
 * What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?: In his book Up Periscope Yellow, Al Brodax, the man behind the production, who wrote or co-wrote most of the non-musical sequences, swears the only time he ever had drugs was in a meeting with John Lennon after he'd finished the script.
 * In the behind-the-scenes portions of the DVD, it's revealed that while the animators never did drugs, they would often return to work a little drunk after having a few too many pints during their lunch break.
