The cultural and social upheaval of the 1960s was so pervasive and palpable that even a child couldn't miss it, especially if that child's parents provided a couple of quarters to see the latest feature-length cartoon. One day in the fall of 1967, the kid might go to
The Jungle Book, an amiable, undemanding adventure that happened to be the last animated movie that Walt Disney (the man, not the company) produced. Less than a year later, however, the little innocent's mind would be blown by the unfettered imagination, flamboyant Pop Art palette, grown-up irreverence, and punning one-liners of
Yellow Submarine, and nothing is ever the same.
Yellow Submarine runs June 8 and June 10-12 at the Castro Theatre.
