Save the yellow submarine CGI remake once and for all!


Save the yellow submarine CGI remake once and for all!
The Issue
We, the undersigned, call for the revival of the Yellow Submarine CGI remake, a modern reimagining of the beloved 1968 animated film by The Beatles. The original movie took us on a wonderful journey through the magical world of Pepperland, where the iconic band fought the Blue Meanies with their music and love. Its themes of unity, peace, and creativity have transcended generations, leaving an indelible mark on popular culture.The Yellow Submarine is more than just a movie; it's a cultural milestone that introduced innovative animation and unforgettable music. A CGI remake would honor and preserve this legacy for new audiences. Originally, it was set to release in 2012, directed by Robert Zemeckis but got cancelled due to his motion capture studio (Image Movers digital) shutting down. It was then announced to be picked up by Netflix in 2023 with Olly Reid as a director and a confirmed cast for all the characters, being: Cary Elwes as George Harrison, Peter Serafinowicz as Paul McCartney, Adam Campbell as Ringo Starr, Dean Lennox Kelly as John Lennon, Ian McKellen as Old Fred, Rob Brydon as Jeremy Hillary Boob PhD. David Tennant as Chief Blue Meanie, Andy Serkis as Max, and The Fab Four as motion capture. They even had several animation studios on board such as Axis animation and People from the original Image Movers team. It now looks like it is to be Cancelled again, as no updates from the team have come, and The Beatles legal team trying to get rid of the project. This petition aims to show how many people care about this movie and it's significance, to show that people really care about this and some would even give a lot to see it finished. If we don't get this movie confirmed soon, we may never get it, and many people would be left in sadness. This movie was supposed to come out when I was 2, I'm now 14. I'm a HUGE Beatles fan and this is something I really, really think would've been great but never came to be. I hope this petition shows people care and can revive this film.
