Beatlefan Review

“If you’re really, really, really into The Beatles’ “Yellow Submarine” film, you’re still not into it as much as Hieronimus is. Even if you throw a few more “reallys” in there, he’s still got you beat ….

An art teacher, he was knocked out by the film’s vivid, whimsical animation and the imaginative, surreal character designs by the film’s genius designer and art director, Heinz Edelmann. But, what truly captivated him was what he saw as the rampant symbolism, inserted deliberately or by accident, running throughout the film’s storyline and visuals ….

This book, in a completely accessible and fascinating way, focuses on that symbolism and what, according to Hieronimus, it all means ….

… a fun, informative read for animation buffs and Beatles fans alike.”
