Welcome to another episode of the Yellow Submarine University with Pepperland experts Dr. Bob Hieronimus and Laura Cortner! This time we’re digging deep into the famous “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” dance sequence from Yellow Submarine. What is rotoscoping and what films were used to create this legendary moment in film & animation history?

Our books are the only place where you will find in-depth, firsthand accounts of the making of The Beatles’ landmark 1968 film, plus symbolic interpretations from Dr. Bob’s many decades of work in the esoteric tradition.

In 2022, the world was graced with a new special edition of The Beatles’ 1966 album Revolver and thus, a never before heard demo of the song “Yellow Submarine” written by…John Lennon??

We process this new discovery together on this episode of the Yellow Submarine University!

Here’s John’s demo:

And the full band demo:
