“Over 35 years later, this is still an innovative animated film: colorful, clever and different. In fact, youu0026#39;d have to look hard to find a more colorful film ever made.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Beatles characters are fun, spouting a number of good puns and inside jokes concerning lyrics from some of their past songs. The bad guys here, the u0026quot;Blue Meanies,u0026quot; are also fun to watch and really different from anything youu0026#39;ve seen.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is wild stuff which can appeal to adults even more than kids. The only improvement I would have made would have been to shorten it a bit. Even at a fairly short 90 minutes, some could have been trimmed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe DVD is fine, except for the last 30 minutes when it gets grainy. However, the 5.1 surround sound more than makes up for that, affording the viewer to hear all these famous Beatles songs in a better format that surrounds you as a CD could never do.”
