The Blue Meanies launch an attack on the music-loving residents of Pepperland by dropping green apples on them or turning them to stone with their lightning bolts. An elderly sailor manages to escape in a yellow submarine and look for help. He ends up in Liverpool where he finds a dejected Ringo Starr. They round up his pals George, John and Paul and embark on the long journey back to Pepperland. They venture through various "seas" set to Beatles songs, picking up a sidekick named Jeremy who is very studios and helps them overcome obstacles. Once in Pepperland, they assume the identities of the house band of sorts, Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and defeat the Blue Meanies with their music. The real Beatles make a cameo appearance at the end. Influential animated film captures the psychedelic era like no other, and is very entertaining to boot.
