Is Yellow Submarine Still a Must-Watch 50 Years Later?

In summary, the conversation was about the 50-year-old movie "Yellow Submarine" which features The Beatles and their iconic music. The speakers discussed how it was different from traditional Disney animation and how they enjoyed the music and references to the song "Day in a Life." One of them remembered a scene with Paul having a hole in his pocket, but it turns out that part was incorrect. They both have seen the movie and enjoyed it, with one of them mentioning the "Blue Meanies" as well. Overall, it's a unique and trippy film that has stood the test of time.

I realized that this movie is now 50 years old. That goes for anything else in 1968 of course. This was animation quite different from Disney. A really good band did the music too. Have we seen this movie?

Yes, I saw the movie and enjoyed it. I think it's been at least 25 years since I last saw it, but isn't there a scene in there where Paul has a hole in his pocket, and then starts singing "Day in a Life": abut how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall? That part I may have incorrect, but I also remember the "Blue Meanies". :) :)## \\ ## Edit: I was able to google this=I did get the part right about Paul having a "hole in his pocket, but apparently no "Day in a Life" song. In listening to the conversation though, they do mention a couple of phrases from that song.

Yes, I have seen this movie! It's "Yellow Submarine," the animated film featuring The Beatles and their iconic music. It's definitely a unique and trippy experience compared to traditional Disney animation, but it's a classic in its own right. The music is fantastic and adds so much to the overall experience. It's amazing to think that it's been 50 years since its release. Time flies!
