The Beatles' third film was an obligation that the band was uninterested in fulfilling. The solution was an animated world where the Beatles had the starring role, performed some songs and saved the world. So removed from the filmmaking process, the Beatles didn't even supply their own voices. This hand-painted cell features drummer Ringo Starr who, as usual, offered cinematic comic relief.
