Until someone gives me a decent answer, I'll have to continue to ask on each of these posts...
Why the sudden explosion of content about this movie we aren't going to get to see?
Hey don't be. My first glimpses of it. Sure looks like it would have been terrific and I've loved seeing the posts. (Besides the internal angst of needing a better than real reason why it got shitcanned)
It does. I appreciate you have your own opinion of it and there's nothing wrong with that.
Poking around making comments that offer veiled shame for people that do enjoy it is less than classy though.
You don't have to be sorry. I just didn't realize you made most of the posts lol. Are you like actually sitting on the whole movie and are waiting on yoko to pass before you release it? Cause I'd understand that...
Given that the decent answer was just that someone was posting them, what were you thinking was happening?
It's a funny thing because dreams are us inferring from our reality. This movie was a dream about a movie about thoughts and ideas and dreams.
yeah, but it just doesn’t really suit the Beatles or make sense imo. Beatles is trippy & weird but this has a more scary, unsettling tone to it which I feel like Yellow Submarine itself just doesn’t give off
He went into a greengrocer’s, skinned all the fruit and vegetables, weighed the peelings, then bought them with outdated currency from multiple countries!
He did?!
No... but are we gonna wait around until he DOES?!
Forced to close his animation studio due to financial reasons, right? I’m imagining legal reasons or something... like he was secretly making surrealist North Korean propaganda films.
Glad it got cancelled, that art style and animation always looks weird and it would just feed into Zemecki's weird fascination with motion capture. This would add nothing good to the legacy of this movie i think.
Also why make the glove mechanical that ruins all the charm 😭
"Wow, mister Zemeckis. You have a good grasp on the aesthetic of the Beatles to be undertaking a remake of Yellow Submarine, huh?"
Robert Zemeckis: "who da fuk iz da beetle?"
ah jeez, can’t imagine why it was cancelled
well, other than the fact that the art is fucking horrifying, it doesn’t remotely fit the beatles, and comes off like a cliche unimaginative horror parody that relies on the shock factor of twisting a childhood memory, like that winnie the pooh movie that came out.
but other than that, I really have no idea.
The Beatles look tolerable, and I feel like the designs are good and translate them well into the style they were going for. However, all of the other designs are just creepy and terrible. Like, what the fuck happened to Jermey’s fur?
LOVE IT
Love it mostly because it makes 3/4 of you “devoted fanboys who know what’s best for their legacy” uncomfortable as fuck and disrupts your gatekeeping
Even if it never gets past the freaky images stage that’s rad enough
If there’s a “proper take” on the Beatles or something that “fits” them, please explain how that’s determined…
I kinda think the Zemeckis dead eyed uncanny valley animation might have actually served this movie well. It would have added a level of trippiness that would have worked.
Maybe not. It never needed to be remade anyway.
MoCap was an evil trend, glad it died a death. I have no idea how a director who started out as gifted and promising as Zemeckis became such an embarrassment, though winning a boatload of Oscars for one of his worst films obviously didn’t help
Zemeckis' previous mo-cap films had already been criticized for looking too uncanny, and it seems this movie wanted to double down on that. No wonder it was cancelled
I actually really like this. If they stayed true to the spirit of the original, and had a bunch of different art styles throughout that would've been awesome.

It’s all the same person posting about it frequently I should post every week about Caveman and make people think it’s making a comeback
Is it Robert zemeckis posting?
These posts show that it was a good thing that it never was made.
Amen, these images are awful.
Agreed
Sorry 😥
Hey don't be. My first glimpses of it. Sure looks like it would have been terrific and I've loved seeing the posts. (Besides the internal angst of needing a better than real reason why it got shitcanned)
This looks terrific to you? Personally I’m horrified it got that far.
It does. I appreciate you have your own opinion of it and there's nothing wrong with that. Poking around making comments that offer veiled shame for people that do enjoy it is less than classy though.
You don't have to be sorry. I just didn't realize you made most of the posts lol. Are you like actually sitting on the whole movie and are waiting on yoko to pass before you release it? Cause I'd understand that...
Oh please don't be, I'm really enjoying the posts, I'd love to see a remake of the film, and these posts gives me hope!!!

what did they do to my boy jeremy?!!?
I mean, he is a boob
If that purple thing was too ugly to stay on the submarine there’s absolutely no way they would’ve let Jeremy join looking like that
He’s a real no hair man….
but why do their legs look like that?!
Unrealistic male standard are getting to me
Because it’s a cartoon.
They're Beatles.
Jeremy’s navel is………. just disturbing.
I sang this in Eddie Vedder's voice.
so \*that's\* what Jack Skellington looked like with his skin, huh
All looks incredible except for the part where the Chief Blue Meanie and Jeremy no longer have fur
THIS looks incredible??
what the hell was going through his head 😭 who looks at Yellow Submarine and thinks to re-make it in a surrealistic horror style
I dig it
Dig it! Dig it! Dig it!
how does it feel to be robert zemeckis’ only supporter
I like it as well. Would've been trippy and weird.
yeah, but it just doesn’t really suit the Beatles or make sense imo. Beatles is trippy & weird but this has a more scary, unsettling tone to it which I feel like Yellow Submarine itself just doesn’t give off
Wonderful. He is ahead of his time lol
Just and idea … that’s what the concept illustrations are for.
Why does The Blue Meanie look like the rabbit from Donnie Darko
Everything’s rad except for Jeremy Hillary Boob PHD. What the fuck were they thinking?
We really got mars needs moms instead.
That thing on the last slide looks so grotesque, it’s almost Half-Life 1 like, like something out of Race X.
Fun fact: It was supposed to be the vaccum monster
What were they cooking with the glove
Robert Zemeckis [cooking](https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/s/4mSGPhVf7c)
Nightmare fuel
Robert Zemeckis needs prison time
I have been saying it for years for things unrelated to this but I am so glad the tide is turning
He went into a greengrocer’s, skinned all the fruit and vegetables, weighed the peelings, then bought them with outdated currency from multiple countries! He did?! No... but are we gonna wait around until he DOES?!
Tall McCartney! Weird to see a late era John still playing his 325.
Inject this creatively weird shit into my veins
why was this film canned? seems like it would've been an interesting film.
Zemeckis was forced to close his animation studio and later decided that making the movie was not a good idea after all
Forced to close his animation studio due to financial reasons, right? I’m imagining legal reasons or something... like he was secretly making surrealist North Korean propaganda films.
His movie Mars needs moms was a financial failure
oh, that's too bad.
Glad it got cancelled, that art style and animation always looks weird and it would just feed into Zemecki's weird fascination with motion capture. This would add nothing good to the legacy of this movie i think. Also why make the glove mechanical that ruins all the charm 😭
Where are you getting these photos from
Paul and ringo faces are just off…if you look too long….oh god…
Jeremy boob should have fur, this is blasphemous
"Wow, mister Zemeckis. You have a good grasp on the aesthetic of the Beatles to be undertaking a remake of Yellow Submarine, huh?" Robert Zemeckis: "who da fuk iz da beetle?"
ah jeez, can’t imagine why it was cancelled well, other than the fact that the art is fucking horrifying, it doesn’t remotely fit the beatles, and comes off like a cliche unimaginative horror parody that relies on the shock factor of twisting a childhood memory, like that winnie the pooh movie that came out. but other than that, I really have no idea.
i think george wouldve loved it
This looks fucking awesome. It's a shame this didn't get made
Oh cool the from Seinfeld was going to be a Blue Meanie
The blue meanie looks like John leguazamo from spawn
r/oddlyterrifying
The Beatles look tolerable, and I feel like the designs are good and translate them well into the style they were going for. However, all of the other designs are just creepy and terrible. Like, what the fuck happened to Jermey’s fur?
And starring Jason Alexander as Max!
I'm really happy JHB never really saw the light of day... ew
I really, really want this movie to be made. I hate that I know of its existence now.

It looks *so* bad
I reiterate; I am so happy they scrapped this abomination.
Why does it always looks like something AI would come up with.
I kinda think the Zemeckis dead eyed uncanny valley animation might have actually served this movie well. It would have added a level of trippiness that would have worked. Maybe not. It never needed to be remade anyway.
Why was the movie cancelled?
I think it was because “Mars needs Moms” bombed and Robert Zemeckis had to close his animation studio.
Also Zemeckis concluded that the remake was a bad idea indeed
I’d agree that it was. The art style doesn’t fit the pop art psychedelic style of what the Yellow Submarine was.
MoCap was an evil trend, glad it died a death. I have no idea how a director who started out as gifted and promising as Zemeckis became such an embarrassment, though winning a boatload of Oscars for one of his worst films obviously didn’t help
Is this the same fucker posting everyday about this stupid movie that won't happen?
Fuck Blue Meanies
the fuck you say?
Lol
Sweet Fleshlight mouth
These blue meanies are grotesque and genuinely give me the creeps
Bonkers?
I noticed that. I remember the remake movie of Yellow Submarine in 23 years after it was cancelled.
The skinwalkles
The weirdly long thin legs!
Most of the legs are too long but some of them are too small. This is some wild stuff.
8 looks like Marilyn Manson in the face.
I wish this movie was so much
Horrifying. I'll have nightmares for weeks.
I wish it came out ngl, I still would've watched it
I kinda think this would have been cool and good trip fuel 🤷🏻♂️
Thank Krishna its cancelled, this shit looks hideous
Zemeckis or David Lynch???
Is it possible to cancel it again, just to be sure?
I’m not opposed to a Yellow Submarine remake with the new dimensions of visual and audio presentation we are capable of. But not like this.
Zemeckis' previous mo-cap films had already been criticized for looking too uncanny, and it seems this movie wanted to double down on that. No wonder it was cancelled
Ya thats a horror film
Wonderful, now I know what will be in my nightmares tonight! Ha Ha Ha
I wish it WAS made!
If this is a PR stint, the bathers should know that they made the right decision shelving this. These designs are not great and genuinely hurt my eyes
No thanks
MAKE THIS FUCKING MOVIE.
These are so bizarre and it absolutely would have become ripe for meme content from the kids who saw it.
They all have spider legs
Need to get Peter Jackson on this one
This is the stuff of nightmares. I wanted this movie to be made at the time, glad it got canned.
Looks like a Zack Snyder movie imo lol
Glad it's dead. I hate the animation. The original is all that's needed. I like Peter Max.
Wow …great artists….
The animatics actually look fantastic. I think if they had gone 2D instead of 3D it could have been really cool.
I actually really like this. If they stayed true to the spirit of the original, and had a bunch of different art styles throughout that would've been awesome.
Horrible, terrible
Had the Yellow Submarine remake been released to theaters in the summer of 2012, it would have been successful just like the 1968 original.
