The Beatles made a special movie called "Yellow Submarine." It was released in the UK on this day 17th August 1968. During this time, the world was changing a lot, and the movie showed a colourful and exciting picture of that time. It shows a journey through a strange and creative world that shows how powerful The Beatles' music was.


In the movie, there are lots of bright colours and amazing places. It's like a dream with pictures that are strange and unusual. The way the pictures move is also different and interesting. They use lots of colours and patterns that make you feel like you're in a different world.



The music in the movie is really important. They use songs from The Beatles that lots of people know, like "Yellow Submarine," "All You Need Is Love," and others. These songs make the story more emotional and fun. It's like the music helps tell the story better.


The movie has a special message too. It's about working together and being hopeful, even when things are hard. In the movie, the characters come together to fight against bad things and bring back happiness. This is a message that people can learn from and feel good about.
