Title: Escape from Planet Earth -Beatles references in animated films?
Post by: monkeejedi on March 05, 2013, 07:28:37 AM

Had to take my little niece to see the new animated film Escape from Planet Earth. About blue aliens, Area 51, and learning to be yourself.

Regardless, there is a Beatles reference... anyone else catch it?

If so, anyone know of other Beatle references in animated films, like the Pixar films or such?

The one that comes to mind first is The Jungle Book...

My boys watched this film last night. It was only average but when the three quintessential bug eyed aliens started talking in Liverpool accents at the end it was quite cute. It's probably been a long time since such a blatant Beatles reference was put in a kids film.
