I personally own and adore this movie, but being born in the early 70's and growing up on country-based music, I didn't become familiar with the Beatles and other groups and artists from that era until later on in my life....any comments or facts greatly appreciated!

Old Fred: [after they have all been turned into much younger versions of themselves] Now I don't mean to alarm you, mates, but the years are going backwards.
George: What does that mean, Old Fred?
Old Fred: It means that if we don't do something soon, we're all going to disappear up our own existance!
Ringo: [Sniffing] I want me mom

I see this as an attempt to make buckets of money while at the same time trying to make small children into Beatles fans. While Disney and Robert Zemeckis both make very charming children's movies, I don't see Yellow Submarine as something I'd take my kids to see. As far as crass commercialism is concerned- I don't see this project as being any better or any worse than the other films that featured Beatles songs. "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," which included tons of celebrities of the late '70s, was so bad it was good. "Across the Universe" was contrived, but fun. Something to keep in mind about the original "Yellow Submarine:" the Beatles did not do the voices for the characters. Granted, the film featured several Beatles songs, and the score was composed by George Martin (who not only produced the Beatles, but did most of the orchestration in their songs). While the Beatles did make a brief cameo at the end of the film, they did not write it, nor did they do any of the artwork for the film. To fully appreciate the original film, you have to keep it in the context of the late '60s. My conclusion: I'm sure the remake will be cute and people will go see it, but I don't see it as becoming a classic or iconic movie.

Knowing the Beatles, there could be many hidden meanings. They were probably using the submarine as an example of earth.
Maybe they were talking about being high.
Those are my two suggestions. I am a big Beatle fan.

It's just a children's song. It has the overall general meaning of we're all in this together.
The movie had little to do with the Beatles other than using their songs. They didn't write or voice it. The style (Peter Max) was representative of the psychedelic art and attitude of the times.

Acid and marijuana wern't legal then, but they wern't exactly terrorist material like they are today. Smoke a joint today and you go to jail for about ten years. Smoke a joint back then.... and you'd go to jail for not sharing with the cops. It was all trip and stone for the hippie generation. The joys of the high were happly shared with others, some in the form of visual entertainment. Seeing something trippy was either find the tripout, or make it your self, thus, the Yellow Submarine.

It's a song about song relating to the fact that the earth is flat and we live under a dome.
