Back in 2018, I had a conversation with Dr. Robert Hieronimus and Laura Cortner, authors of Inside the Yellow Submarine: The Making of the Beatles’ Animated Classic – the definitive history of the 1968 film. But they are back with a sequel, delving deeper into the story: profiling others who made the vision a reality as well as exploring the greater context of the times and the deeper meanings to be gleaned from the film in It’s All In The Mind: Inside The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine Vol. 2. This newly-published follow-up is richly illustrated in full color and presents new stories from the creative minds who made the project a reality, despite considerable odds. It also illustrates how what shouldn’t have worked did, and what meanings can be found, drawing upon classic myth and literary tradition.
When Dr. Robert (heh) was saying, “There’s at least three levels to this,” my first thought was, “Well, yeah, obviously there are seven levels.”
