Reading this was like a hug for my highschool-aged, Beatles obsessed self.

The Yellow Submarine movie felt like a fever dream and this graphic novel was no exception. The art style was perfect and the story was so wild!

Could not have been better. I know the movie so well that I could hear sound effects and music as I scanned the outrageously colorful art and read the dialogue (much of which is taken directly from the film). This is a must for any Beatles fan!

What the heck did I just read? No, seriously, I need a Genius annotation or a pop-up video to learn all the Joycean weirdness in this book. I assume the movie is just as rich in half-baffling weirdness.

Climb aboard the Beatles' Yellow Submarine and take a 60s psychedelic journey to Pepperland where the boys will help Young Fred, Old Fred, and the Mayor restore music, peace, happiness, and love to the land that has been attacked by the dreadful, music-hating Blue Meanies.
This is a beautifully rendered graphic novel version of the Yellow Submarine movie. The colors are vibrant and it was fun to revisit the story. I hadn't seen the movie for decades. The only way it could have been better would be if the music played when you opened the pages (like the greeting cards that come with sound). It was a shame not to hear "All You Need Is Love" playing in the background at the end. Highly enjoyable nonetheless.

Read the translation in Portuguese, and I'm pretty sure it was horrid.

I guess this is a 5 star book? I don't know, it seemed interesting to see this adapted as a graphic novel but it falls short for me. The visuals are stunning, absolutely beautiful and a faithful recreation of the film, the story is pretty much the movie verbatim. However, without the weird animation, without the music, I don't know why this is a book? Is it for the hardcore collector? I think this is a fantastic book, but I personally see absolutely no reason for it, I had a hard time getting through it myself because I just wanted to watch the film instead. 5 stars for being beautiful and a wonderful adaptation, but 3 stars because I honestly don't know what to do with this book or who I'd recommend it to.
