Yellow Submarine

Not the song, the movie.

Easily the most trippy movie I have ever seen.

It’s an animated movie about a land called Pepperland which is destroyed by the “Blue Meanies” (the Meanies achieve this by using giant apples and a large floating glove). Young Fred, captain of the Yellow Submarine, then travels to Liverpool, and enlists the help of The Beatles.

That’s basically the plot. The rest is nothing more than a crazed animated drug trip with Beatles songs. It predates MTV by several decades, essentially inventing music videos.

And it is awesome.

Really, I don’t know how to describe it. Just search for clips on Youtube, or get the video/dvd, or whatver. But find a way to see it.
