Yellow Submarine A.K.A. The Beatles: Yellow Submarine (1968)

A British American animated musical directed by George Dunning.
A man from a musical world is sent to get help saving his home from Blue Meanies. He recruits the British pop/rock group and they travel to the music world.
This is definitely odd enough for me. I can't say that I like the music very much, but the animation makes up for it. The plot is actually interesting, but the characters seemed shallow. It possibly depended upon a knowledge of The Beatles to know what the characters were like. Unfortunately, The Beatles did not play The Beatles in this. There were plenty of fantasy elements in the journey from London to music land under the sea. In fact, the characters pass through many seas, such as the sea of holes and the sea of green. The hippie-esque moral message of the film is very clear and needs no explanation. I used this image because it goes against the moral message of the film. The real Beatles are showing Satanic hand signals in this photo. I like it and rate it good. For 1968, this was amazing animation.
