Please, this is a cry for help, a call to arms! We must try to stop this film from being made!
Does anyone know a way for the public to get involved in this? Is there any way to write to Disney or to Robert himself? Even any the remaining Beatles?
Whatever your reason may be for wanting to put a wrench in the works of this deal, let's work together and stop this!
ALL TOGETHER NOW!
Seeing as Paul McCartney likes money, I doubt that he'll try to stop it.
Flooding Disney with e-mails saying how you don't want them to remake Yellow Submarine is probably your best bet.

Looks like you forgot to take your anti-retard pills again.
A online petition has been made to stop this and a video reguarding on the remake as well....You can watch it here.

why do you care so much.. i love yellow submarine, but id love for him to remake it.. it would be fun to see yellow submarine in 3D.. why do people get so hostile when some is gonna remake a classic.. its not like the old version is gonna dissappear when this comes out.. its not like theyre gonna erase every origianl yellow submarine title from existense and only have zemeckis.. and this film is going to help all the younger generation find out about the beatles because theyve pprobably never seen the first one.. and then theyre gonna say "mommy daddy i like the beatles" and mommy and daddy will say "well when i was a kid they had this movie too but much older want to watch it?"... all i can say is that wehn this comes out im buying it and putting on my shelf right beside my george dunning version of the film
we all live in a yellow submarine
i think it's because people are afraid remakes could be and have been better than their original counterparts. best remake i've seen was Time Machine. besides the new Yellow Submarine will be something more to add to my beatles paraphernalia.
shareYou gotta be kidding, it sucked compared to the source material or the novel

IMO the remake was at least equal to the original, if not superior (although both are quite flawed). Naturally, neither of them come close to the original Wells story, but that's tangential to this discussion.
shareYou really can't stop someone with the money behind them to make any film they want as long as Apple Corps. gives the go ahead.
Maybe if Yoko decided it wouldn't look good she might veto it but then again maybe it isn't even up to the Beatles (and their estates)?
Depends who owns the rights to the film itself (United Artists? Thought they sold the rights to all their films awhile back in bankruptcy but might be wrong about that).
Sometimes you just have to vote with your money and not buy a ticket.
Anybody remember that horrible "Sgt. Pepper's" movie with Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees back in the '70s? I wish they hadn't made that one either. George Martin even got sucked into working on that monstrosity.
Money and remakes aside... they should just make the original in 3D... they're doing it with everything these days (nightmare before christmas a few years back, and the first 2 toy story movies are being re-released in 3D)

I have to admit imoneinamillion, that wouldn't be such a bad idea. There's no insult to the original creators because the animation style and storyline are kept. Plus, it would open doors to a new audience. Everyone gets what they want, money as well.
But if Zemeckis is allowed to do his own thing, there is no chance ad all. At first I had the slightest hope that the movie could be good. But then I watched "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and lost all hope. It gave me a pretty good idea on Zemeckis' view of the Beatles, which seems to be just a blind exploitation of their fan base.
It turns out Disney animation studios has a mailing address. I'll be writing them.
I hope you do too.

I'm still looking for others to contact. Can anyone with IMDbPro access help me out?

I don't mind it being remade. I don't like the original much, and even if I did - remakes don't bother me much. This could be cool in a remake.
The Beatles were barely involved in the original anyway. It's not even their voices. It would be cool if they were able to use recordings to create authentic Beatles voices for the remake.
I don't see what the big deal is. There are good remakes out there.

And just about as many bad ones as well, and probably even more so.
Personaly as this is to show off CGI 3D, I think thay should just do the image, and retain the soundtrack of the original.
shareNegative batman. You don't make a wonderfully beautiful 3D visual spectacular and leave it with just a stereo track. You have to remix and rework that baby into some nice 5.1 or 7.1 all around sound to go with. if that sub looks like it's going over your head it better freak'n sound like it's going over your head. You can fool the eyes far easier than the ears.
shareFYI The 5.1 remix already exists, and is on the DVD. The songs were also remixed so all the main vocals were in the middle. This is th soundtrack I was refering to.
shareI am SO against this.
I liked the realism of the buildings and environments in Zemeckis' 2 CGI films, Polar Express and Beowolf but the Faces in both lacked real expressions.
The original perfectly captured the time and place it was created it, hand drawings and trippy colors just "feel" like the 60s. Sure they could do it more advanced, more elaborate but it just wouldn't have the cartoonish- graphitti feel the original had. Polar Express and Beowulf's characters felt like wax statues with cold dead eyes, and motion captured movement feels too real, and lacks the magic that 2D animators have spent a century developing.
I've seen The Beatles ROCKBAND game and its pretty good... but even it doesn't capture the life and facial expressions that 2D does. And while CG is great in capturing semi realistic sci fi and action, it simply isnt any...... fun. IF They could somehow use CG to create cartoon characters that look like the characters from SHREK or TOY STORY... maybe....
I wouldn't mind a SEQUEL, if it captures that same hand drawn Heinz Edelman feel. Most of it still holds up (the Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds scene was and is an ugly dreadful rotoscoped nightmare, BUT Nowhere Man is STILL A beautiful masterpiece- that spinning album turning into that tunnel of colors is forever a delight to the eye.)
Maybe have the gang get in the sub again for a NEW adventure- and interpret different songs than that were in the original.
I don't want this to be remade, this film is a classic. But I'll still like to see how they pull it off.
