BEATLES: Yellow Submarine Returning to Theaters |
 |
|
Yellow Submarine is returning to theaters this spring. The digitally restored edition of the animated masterpiece based on The Beatles, will premiere Saturday night at New York's Ziegfield Theater. There will also be theatrical screenings around the country beginning five days later, including matinees geared at younger audiences. Restored frame-by-frame, the film will also be released on DVD June 5th, with its soundtrack album also going back on sale that day. Animator Heinz Edelman says in a statement, "I thought from the very beginning that the film should be a series of interconnected shorts. The style should vary every five minutes or so to keep the interest going until the end." That included melding live-action photography with animation, three-dimensional sequences and kaleidoscopic "roto-scoping" where film is traced frame by frame into drawings. The entire process took nearly two years, 14 different scripts, 40 animators and 140 technical artists, ultimately producing a groundbreaking triumph of animation. |
