Disney to remake Yellow Submarine
A 3D remake of The Beatles' 1968 film Yellow Submarine has been confirmed, Disney Studios has announced.
It will incorporate the 16 Beatles songs and recordings from the original animated film.
Disney Studios chairman Cook said the new film will be directed by Robert Zemeckis using the same motion-capture effects employed in Polar Express.
Meanwhile, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides has been confirmed as the name of the new film in the series.

Johnny Depp will reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow for the fourth instalment, which will debut in 2011.
Disney has also said it was starting a new "scary movie" label venture with Pan's Labyrinth director Guillermo del Toro called Disney Double Dare You.
The announcements were made at a four-day fan convention in California, that featured appearances from Depp, Tim Burton, Miley Cyrus and Nicolas Cage.
John Travolta also turned up with wife Kelly Preston.

It was the couple's first public appearance since the death of their son, Jett, in January.

Because, obviously, with all of the technological advancements of the last 40 years, people should be able to DRAW a lot better than they did back then!

Because they keep trying to remake The Beatles without any luck. Weirdly, either Menudo nor The Jonas Brothers made the same splash.

I guess that's the theory anyway. I wonder what audience they're aiming at?

Well I'm guessing a lot of people never saw the original simply because they weren't alive at the time. Pretty much anyone under 30.
