Amoeba Music

"Once upon a time ... or maybe twice, there was an unearthly paradise called Pepperland, a place where happiness and music reigned supreme. But all that was threatened when the terrible Blue Meanies declared war and sent in their army led by a menacing Flying Glove to destroy all that was good. Enter John, Paul, George, and Ringo to save the day! Armed with little more than their humor, songs, and of course, their yellow submarine, The Beatles tackle the rough seas ahead in an effort to bring down the evil forces of bluedom."

EMI's Blu-ray presents Yellow Submarine in its 1.66:1 original aspect ratio and includes a restored monaural soundtrack. The digital technicians at Triage Motion Picture Services and Eque Inc. have given the picture a 4K restoration, going through the picture frame by frame without automated software assistance as a means of preserving the original artwork.
