The discussion centers on the 50th anniversary of the animated film "Yellow Submarine," released in 1968. Participants reflect on its unique animation style, distinct from Disney, and the memorable music by The Beatles.

I realized that this movie is now 50 years old. That goes for anything else in 1968 of course. This was animation quite different from Disney. A really good band did the music too. Have we seen this movie?

Yes, I saw the movie and enjoyed it. I think it's been at least 25 years since I last saw it, but isn't there a scene in there where Paul has a hole in his pocket, and then starts singing "Day in a Life": abut how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall? That part I may have incorrect, but I also remember the "Blue Meanies". :) :)## \\ ## Edit: I was able to google this=I did get the part right about Paul having a "hole in his pocket, but apparently no "Day in a Life" song. In listening to the conversation though, they do mention a couple of phrases from that song.
