A person would be hard-pressed to argue that the Beatles didn't revolutionize music; even the youngest of today's kids has heard a song by or inspired by the band. (My six-year-old, for her part, is a fan of the movie Across the Universe and her Kindergarten class performed "Yellow Submarine" at last year's graduation.) But people may not realize that John, Paul, George and Ringo also had a part in bringing animation to the foreground of innovation with the making of their feature-length film, Yellow Submarine.
It's worth watching even if you're not a Beatles fan for the history and great one-offs from the narrator, who calls Yellow Submarine "a sort of open-end Rorschach filled with Joycean puns." Check out the documentary on Brain Pickings. Link
More than a decade before Pixar, the film was not only a technical feat of animation execution but also a seminal work in bringing more attention to animation as a serious art form, both for audiences and for creators.

And I also think this is a sad way to propose to a woman. Unless the girl actually finds it romantic...then these two are made for eachother.
And for the record: LOLcats: still awesome.
Vive la Lolcats!!
That's quite cool!
And I still think lolcats is funny. Some of the old "I has a flavr" stuff and the walrus have gotten old now, but they still usually have quite funny new things.
You can't really take it seriously, and thats why I like it.
