Word has just gotten out that film maker Robert Zemeckis’ plans for a mo-cap remake of Yellow Submarine.
In my opinion, this is a terrible idea.
But this got me thinking about a dream I once had.
Many, many, many years ago......I dreamed I was sitting in a theater watching an animated sequel to Yellow Submarine.
It was entitled "Return to Pepperland". It was beautifully animated.
Picture the design and look of the original film, but done in an animated watercolor style and that's how the film in my dream looked.
In this film the plot's main characters where the Sgt Pepper band that the Beatle's rescued in the original (And it all took place in the Pepperland universe).
Later on (after waking up) I realized that in real life, an animated sequel to Yellow Submarine isn't impossible. Voice actors where used to portray the Beatles in the original film, and there are plenty of other Beatles songs that could be used as the basis of the soundtrack. The Beatles (and their estates) would just have to approve it.
A sequel would be much more preferable than a mo-cap remake
