Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Beatles hated "The Beatles (1965)," the television cartoon show of them, which was also produced by Al Brodax and George Dunning. When the producers approached them about this movie, the group agreed only as an easy way of completing their movie contract. They contributed a few old songs and four quickly produced numbers: "Only a Northern Song", "Hey Bulldog", "All Together Now", and "It's All Too Much". They were so impressed by the finished movie that they decided to appear in a short live-action epilogue to the movie.
- GoofsThe Beatles spot five Apple Bonkers taking apples off a tree. Only four Bonkers march and sound off before a Meanie Squad Leader.
- Crazy creditsThe lyric "All Together Now" is shown in several different languages while the song plays at the end.
- Alternate versionsThe American version had several alternative shots during the "All You Need Is Love" song, among others: the population of Pepperland moves in at the Blue Meanies; Paul McCartney doing a somersault, a brief scene of Old Fred and the Mayor dancing together happily. The UK version featured alternate footage, like George floating down from Sgt Pepper's head, saying "It's all in the mind, you know".

Featured review
a small review
I will readily admit that I don't watch too many movies,unless I have heard good reviews about them or if it is an art film. While perusing the movies at the local library, I was attracted to the bright yellow case this movie was in. (I didn't know what it was at the moment.) Being a Beatles aficionado(sp?), I checked it out and brought it home. My husband was thrilled as he saw it when he was 5! Oh man. Get ready for a visual feast of color and sound.(and humor!) I was literally glued to the screen for the duration of the film. I mean, if you take your eyes off of it for just a second you will miss something. I love bright vivid contrasting colors so this was great, but it may hurt your eyes if you're into earthtones. I found it a great escape from reality and very light hearted. The art is fabulous. FABULOUS!!! I have seen a great many things in my life but NOTHING like this. Truly unique. Thanks for reading.
