I can't imagine how much money must've been paid to get the music rights for this game.

Wait until you see the Outro animation (in the same style)... brings a tear to your eyes...

Who's that?
That's me grandfather.
That can't be your grandfather Paul. We've met your grandfather.
That's true, but as everyone is entitled to two, this is my other grandfather.

Yeah the outro is amazing.

Hell the whole game is great. I am going to drop a lot of cash on DLC more then I normally do with Rock Band games. I got the game at midnight when it came out and have been playing it like a mad man.

...I just had an orgasm through my eyes

That made my morning!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this! It really made my morning. :)

And yeah, I would love to see a new Beatles cartoon, too. I grew up watching the old one and had a great time with the animation and music.

....So this is what heaven's like. Huh.

...That was on so many levels of astounding I don't think they've made a number that high yet.

That is pretty fooking cool.

Yeah seriously Disney can just hault production now on yellow submarine and hire whoever did this for Harmonix...

That was friggin beautiful.

Just try watching the original Beatles cartoon. It's almost more trippy than Yellow Submarine even, just in how freaking bizarre and random it is.

Amazing!

I'd watch the hell out of any cartoon if it looked like this.

That was just about the coolest thing ever. As Dr. Communism said, I'd watch the hell out of anything that looked like this.

Looks like a Gorillaz video.

The intro is great and I love Beatles music, but the game I don't find as good as usual Rock Band fare. Beatles music is pretty tame, you just can't "Rock out" to any of it.

1:05 into the video... the tail of the plane, sponsored by Burger King (or at least that's what it looks like in youtube-tiny-vision).

Some of the Animation looks a lot like the work of Jamie Hewlett so yIntagh I think you're correct.

I second the call to junk Disney and let the minds behind this loose on the Yellow Submarine remake, or just do a DVD of videos for Beatles songs that look like this.

p.s. I can't stand Rock Band, but that is a real beauty of an Intro.

Good eye, yIntagh. The animation for this was produced by Passion Pictures, which is responsible for the animation in the Gorillaz videos. However, Jamie Hewlett wasn't involved with this video at all, but Pete Candleland, the director for the Gorillaz videos and the two Rock Band intros, was the director of this intro too.

Damn, Rob! I saw this just when it was posted on the Harmonix website, a couple of months ago... and I forgot to send you the link.
Sorry about that, stuff like this needs to be more known across the net!

This brought tears to my eyes the first time I saw it. I don't have any Rock Band capabilities on my PS2 or XBox but I would go buy this game just so I could continuously watch this on my big screen.

Fucking beautiful.

*drools over its beauty*

Fuckin' awesome.

That's all I have to say.

I picked up this game and the Gretsch replica guitar, along with some of the remastered albums Wednesday. Been playing the hell out of it ever since. October 20 is too damn far away for the Abbey Road DLC.

I dunno. I was always a fan of the early Beatles, but once they got into all that weird, trippy "I Am the Walrus" stuff they lost me.

I care nothing for The Beatles but that was fucking brilliant.

I am considering audiobooking some of his stories and uploading it to Youtube.

Play through everything in story mode to get to the closing movie. It's even better.

There has been talk of a remake of Yellow Submarine... And until this I thought it was a silly idea.

Now, I can't wait.

I'll second that the closing video is also gorgeous (not quite as long or as stunning, but if fits the mood). I'd also have to agree that the game isn't as "Rock" as regular RB, perhaps simply because the song choices are so vaired and spread throughout the eras. And of course I'll be forced to get the DLC before I have all the songs I actually want to play...
