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".

Truly Original
This could have been poorly done had it not been for a sense of quality that seemed to be a part of the Beatles and their people. This is the wonderful story of society that develops over time and come under threat. But it is not the usual "save the world" kind of thing but rather the creation of a world like we've never seen. There is a surreal being to it. It is colorful and engaging. Of course, what is most impressive is the integration of Beatles music into the plot. "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is a great example of psychedelic visuals. But overall, it is a movie that never bores. Its images are striking and there is an array of the most wonderful characters.
