personally speaking but it cracks me up to think that hippies got stoned in theaters back in 68 when it was first released.
yeah, I was one of them Came out in 1968--saw it around Christmas that year (around the same time The White Album was released Nov/Dec) I was fifteen at the time, but didnt get stoned until 2nd time I saw it at 19. It was cutting-edge animation for that era.
I have a question about the film. I've watched it once just recently (paid $50. for it on e-bay, peekaboo!), and after watching it, decided to check out the "special features." Within was a great theatrical trailer, and within the trailer was real-live Beatles! Real live Beatles doing some goofy stuff with studio equipment, and enjoying "Yellow Submarine" IN A PRIVATE MOVIE THEATER (overindulged rich and privileged make me sick, peekaboo).
Well, now to my quesiton: is the live Beatles featured in the trailer available anywhere in a comprehensive collection? It certainly wasn't in the cartoon. Is it "lost," or just being hoarded in their sacred vault?
I love the Yellow Submarine! Welcome back, Dmitry!
All you've got to do is choose love. That's how I live it now. I learned a long time ago, I can feed the birds in my garden. I can't feed them all. -- Ringo Starr, Rolling Stone magazine, May 2007

Does anyone know if the "Yellow Submarine" DVD will ever be re-released? (Why it was discontinued?)
I was looking for it online at B&N and Amazon and realized it is gone (yes, I am totally late on this). Then I tried searching through the online catalog of my local libraries and saw that their sole copy was "lost" (probably stolen by a desperate Beatles fan? ).
