Top Critics Reviews

Sure, some of the puns and in-jokes sound a little dated, but any movie that strings together lines from Shakespeare merely as a throwaway comic riff is, in my book, a film for the ages.

This 1968 Beatles musical gets somewhat plot heavy near the end, but it's a marvel of innocence and free association, blending several animation techniques in a loose narrative full of gentle bad puns and flowing visual segues.

rotten:
The animation is imaginatively conceived, but stiffly executed.

There's such a wide disparity of graphic styles from sequence to sequence. Some of them, though, still look terrific.
