I like this movie because of the songs, the animation, and it is a funny story. You must see it if you like movies about the Beatles!

What Parents Need to Know
About Yellow Submarine
Parents need to know that although rumors suggest that songs like "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" are veiled references to drugs and the animation sometimes has a psychedelic look, there is nothing that remotely approaches drug or alcohol use of any kind. The violence is extremely mild, especially by cartoon standards. The Meanies take over by "bonking" people with green apples.

Charming and wacky
60s movies are just paced differently. No marketing ploys. Slower unfolding of the plot. More simple animation. This is a beloved movie at our house. My 8 and 3 year olds marvelled at the psychadelic happenings of this film, and some of the lines becames jokes in our family for a while. And this was the beginning of Beatlemania in our house for quite a while.

Honored To Have My Kids Watch
What a treat! I have a 6 & 8 year old running around my house singing "All you need is LOVE". I grew up watching this with my Dad...and now the next generation is enjoying it. SpongeBob is more worrisome and disturbing. No drug or drinking referances that any kid below the age of 30 would get..LOL.... Let you child enjoy the annimation and music...Thank you Beatles...We love you.... "

Unexpected kid favorite!
Who knew this rather bizarre, Peter-Max inspired cartoon would grab the attention of my 4-year-old?!? I was delighted when he took an interest in this movie, which is great fun for grown-ups, too. There are a couple scenes that bothered him that we fast-forwarded thru - one where a Frankenstein-type fellow morphs into John, and another where a lady is screaming. But no real peril or danger here, Mates.
