Underdog / Another Salute to the Bubbleheads (Yellow Submarine)

NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED!!!!!!

Another video saluting the Underdog episode "The Bubbleheads."

The song is the Beatles classic "Yellow Submarine" because the bathosphere that Sweet Polly Purebred and Professor Moby Von Ahab are in is yellow.

While this is a salute to the Bubbleheads, I also included the marching band from the Gold Bricks episode ("and the band begins to play.")

Also look for the Beatles waving hello to Polly and the Professor.

Yeah they were great cartoons

[MiniMaruko333]

oh. I like those

[bender1958]

Yep Rankin Bass made the Christmas specials. And they also did the cartoon versions of the Jackson 5 and the Osmond.

[MiniMaruko333]

Doesn't RankinBass make those stop-animation Christmas specials?

[MiniMaruko333]

I kinda like John's voice in the cartoon. It was sooo fake, it was cute!

[bender1958]

I don't know about cleaner animation, but I know if Total Television animated the Beatles, Allen Swift (who voiced Simon Bar Sinister and RiffRaff on Underdog) could have done justice to John and George, while Mort Marshall and Kenny Dlemar (who appreared on Underdog and Total Television carttons) could've donegreat imitations of Paul and Ringo respectively

[MiniMaruko333]

hmm... Probably cleaner animation

[bender1958]

You know read somehwere (don't know if it was true) that Disney was in the running to do the Beatles cartoon series before King Features won the rights(Disney was also in the running to do Yellow Submarine orginally). Would have been interesting to see what would happen if the Beatles cartoons were done by Disney, Hanna Barbera, TTV (the makers of Underdog), Rankin Bass or DePatie Freleng (the mnakers of the Pink Panther and Here Comes the Grump)

[McCartnee]

Yeah, Paul has said in several interviews since the 90s that the Beatles were big fans of Disney cartoons, and always wanted to somehow work with them. Too bad it took so long, but they probably wouldnt have gotten it to be in 3D like they plan to. And Director Robert Zemeckis is a devout Beatles fan, so I trust he'll do it justice, as he directed the movie "I Want To Hold Yor Hand."

So the surviving Beatles did give the OK for the remake then? I guess the best thing to do is to approach it with an open mind.
