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.

Who doesn't love The Beatles? This classic will resonate with children and adults alike! No marketing, no cursing, no sexual reference, perfect for children!

This song is not bad
Lucy in the Sky is not about drugs, it's about McCartney's love interest, who died 2008.

My 6 yo loved it!
My son and nephew saw this for the first time recently. They are both 6 and they absolutely loved it. Lots of great music and an occasional social message put through, though very subtly. The animation is psychedelic and there might be a veiled drug reference here and there, but it is so obscure most kids won't even notice. They'll just have fun. As for the adults....it can be slow in places, but if you pay attention to it, there are really quite a few funny/punny lines. Overall, I think it's a great pick for kids of almost any age. My 6 yo is now a bona fide Beatles fan -- he can't get enough of the music! :)

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.

A Perennial for the Whole Family
I have introduced a couple of generations to this movie now with great success. My grandnephew was 3 the first time he saw it, and still enjoys it now at age 9. One need not be a huge Beatles fan to agree that it's great to expose kids to this flim's positive message and classic music. I was at a day care center recently and asked the children if they know who the Beatles are, and half the children did. They had seen "Yellow Submarine", and could even pick a favorite Beatle. THAT's raising 'em right.
