Why the Beatles tried to sink Yellow Submarine
EVERYTHING I have ever been told about the making of the Beatles' Yellow Submarine cartoon says that the film should have been a disaster. You know how your teacher used to tell you not to start an essay until you knew roughly what you wanted to say? Yeah, well they didn't do that.
