Did Terry Gilliam and the creators of "South Park" look to Disney films for animation inspiration? No—it was "Yellow Submarine" that changed the whole aesthetic, and now its wonderfully imaginative, hugely influential hand-drawn artwork has been restored in 4K digital resolution for the first time (this was all done by hand, frame by frame). The DVD and Blu-Ray include the fully restored 1968 film plus a fascinating "making-of" documentary, the original theatrical trailer, audio commentary by the producer and art director, storyboards, original pencil drawings, reproductions of animation cels, collectible stickers, a 16-page booklet with a new essay and more. In addition to this groundbreaking triumph of animation brimming with peace, love and hope (in the face of those terrible Blue Meanies), you can opt for its songtrack on CD: "Yellow Submarine," "Eleanor Rigby," "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," "With a Little Help from My Friends," "Nowhere Man," "Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band," "When I’m Sixty-Four," "All You Need Is Love," "Baby, You’re a Rich Man," "All Together Now" and more. An Art Pop landmark, cruising back in grand style!
