Voted for 'a hard day's night'...the thing i don't like in yellow submarine is that they didn't even let the beatles do their own voices

It wasn't that "they" didn't "let" the Beatles use their own voices. "They" would've given their eye-teeth for real Beatle voices.

It was the Beatles themselves that didn't want anything to do with the film. It was a "contractual obligation" thing. Later, when they saw what a quality job the animators had done, the Fabs agreed to do the film sequence at the end, and be more visibly associated with the film.

I wonder if it would have been possible (when they were all alive of corse) for them to make a version with there voices. they could have put it out as a collectors item or something.

i like help the most

its cool

Okay bryan I now declare you #1 spamer. I can do this cuse I'm a mod.

My god... the words "pot" and "kettle" spring to mind!

Indeed.

Being a mod is not the same as being a god.

I always heard that they were just too busy and travelling too much to actually do the voices. Ria's response makes the most sense and i'm sure its right, but its just another little tid bit that I should have known and didnt.

Yeah, The Beatles had a 4 film contract with United Artists and somehow Yellow Submarine meant they only had to make one more film... Let It Be!

I voted Help! it's very funny and A Hard Days Night is good but it's kind of cheesy.

A Hard Day's Night

I never knew it wasn't them doing their voices until a few years ago! Shows how stupid I am!! Needless to say, I was very dissapointed!

That was an extremely hard pick between Help! and a Hard Day's Night, I picked AHDN though because I can't help but laugh no matter how many times I've seen it.

A Hard Day's Night
Yellow Submarine
Magical Mystery Tour

Help!

Help! is really popular with some people I've met....I don't really understand it's appeal....it has some decent music videos, but the humor and the band's effort is a big letdown when compared to AHDN.
