About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a bright, surreal, music-driven animated romp with lots of Beatles songs and playful nonsense, like The Muppet Movie; Not for you if you need a coherent plot or dislike psychedelic art styles.

Pros: dazzling psychedelic visuals; classic sing-along songs; goofy punny humor | Cons: thin nonsensical story; some dated moments; uneven voice performances
