The classic 1968 animated feature "Yellow Submarine" showcasing music by the Beatles continues to be carefully restored frame-by-frame for a special DVD release May 28, 2012.
'Specialists' have been working for months to individually clean each frame of the film by hand, according to Beatles' holding company Apple Corps Ltd.
Automated software was not chosen for the restoration, because of the delicate nature of the hand-drawn artwork.
The musical fantasy depicts surreal cartoon versions of the Beatles and images from some of their psychedelic songs, with compositions including "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" and "Eleanor Rigby".
"Yellow Submarine", directed by George Dunning for United Artists (UA) and King Features Syndicate, is set in 'Pepperland', a paradise protected by "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".
But the land falls under a surprise attack by the music-hating 'Blue Meanies' who seal the band inside a music-proof bubble, immobilizing the Pepperlanders and draining the countryside of color.
