It’s perfectly surreal – but then, all cartoons are, with their fake danger, and squash-and-stretch exaggeration. But kids, too, are drawn to its kaleidoscopic nature, and easily follow the dreamy, free-associative approach to storytelling. Still, Yellow Submarine never gets too dark: yes, there’s a drug-haze logic to it, and the graphics that bloom and billow are hallucinogenic. The animation eats itself, and there’s something deliciously meta about the filmmakers’ approach they play with the cartoon form. I love the moment where a monstrous sucking beast hoovers up first other creatures, then the background, then his own body. Yellow Submarine realises the full potential of all that. And there are also suitably mind-blowing op-art style sequences – the seemingly infinite black-and-white sea of holes still freaks me out.Īnimation, in general, does possess an almost unique power to be, well, strange: you can create anything you can imagine, play wildly with scale and colour, even collapse space and time. While most of Yellow Submarine is in teeth-achingly bright hues, there’s also a rather sooty mixed media montage early on, to the mournful strains of Eleanor Rigby, that offers a haunting evocation of a Liverpool that’s far from the Swinging 60s of Carnaby Street. And it certainly isn’t Disney – the only other feature-length animation studio that was really a success at the time. Seas of monsters seem drawn straight from the animator’s subconscious. Watercolour shading on landscapes and plants lends an unsettling beauty. Flat outlined figures look like Aubrey Beardsley drawings on acid. Flowers and foliage curl and multiply in eye-popping hues. The animation, led by Heinz Edelmann, is in the vein of psychedelic artists Martin Sharp and Alan Aldridge, or graphic design outfits of the era such as The Fool and Hapshash and the Coloured Coat. It’s about the most 60s thing imaginable. There, dressing up as – yes – Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, they unfreeze the people and melt even the Blue Meanies’ cold hearts by singing All You Need is Love. One Pepperland inhabitant, named Old Fred, manages to flee in a yellow submarine, and winds up in Liverpool, where he enlists The Beatles to help they voyage through various surreal, metaphysical ‘seas’ (the sea of time, the sea of holes) until they make it to Pepperland. But it is invaded by the Blue Meanies, who can’t bear music, or beauty, or happiness and turn its inhabitants to stone. I also had a DVD of it as a student, and – having just watched the new, beautifully restored version in the cinema, with a resplendently loud, crisp soundtrack – can confirm that, at 50, it’s aging remarkably well.įor the uninitiated, the movie tells the story – such as it is – of Pepperland, a peaceful place full of gardens and bandstands, 80,000 leagues beneath the sea. ![]() But it still has an irresistible late ’60s spirit all of its own.I should know: I was raised on it, courtesy of hippie parents and a beloved grainy VHS I must have watched hundreds of times. In Beatles terms it feels like a ‘Sgt Pepper’ side project with a load of other off-cuts and outside influences merrily chucked into the pot. They’re voiced, a bit oddly, by actors and only appear briefly in a larking-about epilogue. It has flashes of winning silly humour (‘What day is it?’ ‘Sitar-day’), and who can resist the submarine turning into a cigarette lighter to the tune of the Hamlet cigar commercial? The Beatles themselves didn’t give a great deal to the film. But when already-existing songs like ‘Eleanor Rigby’, ‘Nowhere Man’, ‘All You Need Is Love’ and ‘Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds’ kick in, the whole thing soars and makes a strange sort of psychedelic sense. The fantastical story is happily all over the place, and the handful of songs written especially for the film aren’t especially memorable. ![]() ![]() Only The Beatles can help, and so an old sailor pitches up to Liverpool in a Yellow Submarine to collect them and take them on a mission to defeat the Meanies. Clearly influenced by Lewis Carroll’s Alice stories, ‘Yellow Submarine’ features a version of the band on the run through a series of hallucinogenic set-pieces involving bad folk called the Blue Meanies who are running riot in the seriously out-there Pepperland. But it’s weirder and scrappier than that, pitched somewhere dreamlike between childhood and adulthood. Now that the title track has become a nursery-school standard, you half expect this to be a kids’ cartoon. The Beatles put their name to no fewer than five films in their quick decade together, and while ‘Yellow Submarine’ isn’t the best of them (surely that’s ‘A Hard Day’s Night’?), it’s the only one to feature their ‘Sgt Pepper’ alter-egos in a trippy animated fantasy that feels like a Terry Gilliam-designed album cover come to life. ![]() ![]() You can notice that the corbel at the right is only three stone-layers high, whereas the corbel at the left is 9 stone-layers high.

If you are an architectural historian, or an archaeologist, it helps to be able to see inside this Maya corbel vaulted passageway under this stairway. ![]() But first we need to scan thousands of slides so we can select the pertinent aspects of art and architecture. Then a separate entire day on iconography: Maya deities, Xibalba, symbols of warfare, examples of Teotihuacan symbolism in Maya art, celestial symbols in the Sky Bands, etc. The idea would be to have an entire day of PowerPoint presentations on the different topics related to palaces, temples, acropolises.

But 16 percent of Fiesta and Focus owners, amounting to about 165,000 in the U.S., never got the free update.

Ford promised to reimburse Focus and Fiesta owners in the group for prior clutch repairs that owners paid for out of pocket. Both the clutch materials and seals have been a source of DSP6 problems, Ford spokesman T.R. The warranty covers repairs to clutch components for the dual-clutch automatic. Back in July 2014, Ford extended such warranty coverage for earlier examples of the two cars - the Fiesta going back to 2011, the Focus going back to 2012. If your car is within those model years, check the sticker on the driver’s doorjamb to see the exact build date (by month, at least). 2014-15 Fiesta models built from July 4, 2013, to Oct.2014-16 Focus models built from July 4, 2013, to Nov.In a statement today, Ford said it “understands and regrets that many customers have been inconvenienced and frustrated by the performance of the DPS6 transmission.” The automaker will extend warranty coverage for specific transmission hardware on certain Focus and Fiesta vehicles by two years - now to seven years or 100,000 miles, versus the prior five years or 60,000 miles (for both, whichever comes first). Related: Ford Kills Off Last Remaining Planned Focus Model for the U.S. The so-called DPS6 transmission, offered on the Fiesta since the 2011 model year and Focus since the 2012 model year, has spawned widespread complaints of rough shifts and, sometimes, loss of power.

I knew then that when I grew up, I had to find a way to re-create that sense of joy, liberation, and happiness in my work. I could sense the happiness of the audience. I had no idea what that meant at the time and when we were successful in the auditions, I found myself having the best time during rehearsals, and then the seven-week run. I was part of the children’s ensemble for Joseph and The Technicolor Dreamcoat with Phillip Schofield when it toured and came to Southampton Mayflower. JL: I accidentally fell into performing when I was 10. What reasons made you choose to be an actress? How did your parents cope with it at that time? Do you still feel under pressure sometimes as the only child in your family? WL: In your past interviews, you said you did a Law degree for your parents. For a couple of years, I hosted the Chinese New Year celebrations in Trafalgar Square and that was a pretty spectacular way to mark the occasion too. They will usually have friends over for the most amazing meal ever, or one of their friends will have a dinner party and we go there. I normally go to my parents’ home in Southampton. Do you still celebrate CNY with your family? How? WL: The documentary about Chinese New Year you filmed for BBC a few years ago already reached over one hundred million views in China. It was the tipping point, and over the next year I came off all social media. But that was all I was showing, and I didn’t want to be part of it any longer. I wasn’t always happy, and I do not spend my life in five-star hotels or on business class flights. I realised that my posts had been contributing to that culture. Teenagers suffered from depression when unable to achieve the image of beauty, happiness, and luxurious lifestyles that surrounded them. While the topics were varied, from bullying to racism, there was an overwhelming amount of entries that had the same theme: pressure to conform to an ideal of perfection, as perpetuated by social media. In 2015, I was part of the judging panel for the Anne Frank Trust’s writing competition Generation Diary, where teenagers were invited to write a diary excerpt. I don’t enjoy sharing my private moments with the world. JING LUSI: I once believed that social media was a necessary tool for promotion, but I never enjoyed it.
