The Beatles "Yellow Submarine" being remade...in 3D! - General

Yes, The Beatles trippy-ass-shit animated move, is being remade by Disney. This sounds cool and all, seeing as the movie in regular vision is like watching someone else on an acid trip, while you yourself just recently smoked a bowl or 2. For those who haven't seen the movie. [quote]At the beginning of the story, Pepperland is introduced by a narrator as a cheerful music-loving paradise under the sea, protected by Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, which falls under a surprise attack by the music-hating Blue Meanies, who seal the band inside a music-proof bubble, turn the Pepperlanders into statues, and drain the countryside of colour. In the last minute before his own capture, Pepperland's elderly Lord Mayor sends Old Fred (whom the mayor calls "Young Fred") off in a yellow submarine to get help. Old Fred travels to Liverpool, where he follows the depressed and aimless Ringo and persuades him to return to Pepperland with him. Ringo collects his "mates" John, George and finally Paul. The five journey back to Pepperland in the yellow submarine, passing through several episodes: * Sea of Time – where time flows both forwards and backwards to the tune of "When I'm Sixty-Four", * Sea of Science – where they sing "Only a Northern Song", * Sea of Monsters – where a monstrous "vacuum cleaner beast" sucks up the entire landscape and then itself, freeing them. * Sea of Nothing – where they meet a rather helpful "nowhere man" named Jeremy Hilary Boob Ph.D, and sing the song "Nowhere Man" in reference to him but, without realizing it, they end up hurting his feelings. Ringo takes pity on Jeremy and lets him join them aboard the submarine. * Foothills of the Headlands (or Sea of Heads) – where they are separated from the submarine and John sings "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", * Finally, the Sea of Holes – where Jeremy is kidnapped by one of the Blue Meanies patrolling the outskirts of Pepperland. When Ringo jumps on to a green hole (which turns into the Sea of Green and is actually a hidden temporospatial portal), they arrive in Pepperland. Reunited with Old Fred and the submarine, they imitate Sgt. Pepper's band, and "rally the land to rebellion". Jeremy is rescued, colour and flowers rebloom, the original Sgt. Pepper's band is released (thanks to a hole carried in Ringo's pocket from the Sea of Holes), and Pepperland is restored. The Blue Meanies are forced to retreat, but John extends an offer of friendship, and the Chief Blue Meanie has a change of heart (partly due to some "transformation magic" performed by Jeremy), and accepts. An enormous party ensues, with everyone living happily ever after. At the end, the real Beatles, having returned home, playfully show off their souvenirs, whereof George has the submarine's motor, Paul has "a little love", and Ringo still has half a hole in his pocket (having supposedly given the other half to Jeremy). John sees "newer and bluer Meanies in the vicinity of the theatre" and announces that there is only one way to go out: "Singing!". The quartet obliges with a reprise of "All Together Now" which ends with various translations of the song's title appearing in sequence on the screen.[/quote] I have reason to believe that this movie is going to be kickass. Why? The director is Robert Zemeckis. And you may ask who that is, well, he directed "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?", "Polar Express", and "Beowulf", as well as all three parts of "Back to the Future", "Cast Away", and Last but not least, "Forrest Gump". He has much experience with animation, as well as drama, so it should have a good outcome. Oddly, there are a lot more songs licensed for the film. [quote]Negotiations include securing rights to 16 original Beatles songs - the title track as well as “All Together Now,” “Baby You’re a Rich Man,” “All You Need Is Love,” “When I’m 64,” “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” and “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band”.[/quote] So, what can we expect? This in 3D:[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7F2X3rSSCU[/media]

Fuck yes. Watched this all the time as a kid. [editline]08:31PM[/editline] By Disney..what the fuck?

[QUOTE=It.;16824746]Fuck yes. Watched this all the time as a kid. [editline]08:31PM[/editline] By Disney..what the fuck?[/QUOTE] Yeah, its really odd. Hopefully it won't be [b]too[/b] family friendly.

Why?

[QUOTE=john_pelphre;16824790]Yeah, its really odd. Hopefully it won't be [b]too[/b] family friendly.[/QUOTE] I want the ORIGINAL. Matter of fact, that just prompted me to want to buy it on DVD. And see if they have it on blu-ray.

Trippy.

We all live on a yellow submarine We hate the damn machine We want to paint it green

Tim Burton should direct it and make it trippy as fuck.

Speaking of the Beatles, I stumbled across a forum the other day where they are trying to argue that Paul McCartney [i]isn't[/i] the 'real' Paul, and that he was replaced after death in the 60's. Its proper mental [url]http://invanddis.proboards.com/index.cgi[/url] I can't be bothered to argue with them though. Not after :bang: when I argued against the flat earth society :frown:

Absolutely loved the yellow submarine movie - Favourite bit has to be when he gets the hole in his pocket, takes it out and puts it on the ground and they all jump into it....so fucking trippy.

I will see it if they do a good job at transition.

Disney seems to be capitalizing on druggies/potheads lately. Alice and now the Beatles? Not to mention everything they've been doing is 3d lately.

Oh, this sounds c-- Wait, Disney? Going to suck.

[QUOTE=pie_is_good;16825488]That conspiracy's been around for a long time actually.[/QUOTE] It does explain Wings.

Awesome I'm such a huge beatles fan [editline]02:03AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Garion vz. 2;16824988]We all live on a yellow submarine We hate the damn machine We want to paint it green[/QUOTE] Ha Thats a good one

Disney? That is all

It can't be that bad. I mean all they're doing is making it 3D right? They couldn't possibly fuck up. Could they?

Disney sometimes make good movies.

This is going to be a total mindfuck.

what the hell I'm so confused with this video

When you say 3D, do you mean 3D animation in the sense that Pixar studios' films are 3D, or do you mean the gimmicky "IT BE COMIN RIGHT AT YA BOY" bullshit that only horrible movies implement in the hopes of drawing in more viewers- IE: The Final Destination?

There were good disney movies, and bad ones. I hope they don't fuck up on this one like they did on "Aliens in the Attic" or that rock movie where they can wish with a rock.

OH MY LAWD. This better be a good movie Disney, and if you fuck up I'll rip you heart out.

Yeah I don't think this'll turn out good
