Once upon an time in an unearthly paradise called Pepperland, Blue Meanies threaten to destroy all that is good. Enter John, Paul, George and Ringo to save the day! Armed with humour, songs, and yellow submarine, the Fab Four tackle rough seas in an effort to bring down evil.

Newly restored, this groundbreaking animated adventure - melding live-action with animation, 3D sequences and kaleidoscopic “rotoscoping” - is a fantastic tale filled with peace, love, hope and music including “Eleanor Rigby”, “When I’m 64”, “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” and “All You Need Is Love” creating a masterpiece for all ages.
