I'm actually mildly disappointed.
I mean, I'll see it, and I may even enjoy it, but I don't know if I want Disney messing with Yellow Submarine...

It's crazy to remake Yellow Submarine, because it's a classic & it makes no sense at all. Hollywood has been running out of new ideas for a long time now. I would like to know what Paul & Ringo think about it, but I believe it's insane to do it again.

An update to this story - and I echo the previous comments you've all made!:
Zemeckis finds Beatles for "Yellow Submarine" (Reuters)
Source: Reuters
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - It's "all together now" for the cast of director Robert Zemeckis' upcoming Beatles feature.
British actors Cary Elwes, Dean Lennox Kelly, Peter Serafinowicz and Adam Campbell are in negotiations to portray the members of the Fab Four in "Yellow Submarine," a remake set up at Disney.
The original 1968 animated movie was based on the music by the Beatles and featured a storyline wherein a soldier called Old Fred meets up with the Beatles and travels in a yellow submersible to Pepperland. Among the group's encounters are the music-hating Blue Meanies.
As with his recently released "A Christmas Carol," Zemeckis is making the movie using 3D performance-capture technology. He also wrote the screenplay.
The Beatles tribute band Fab 4 will be motion-captured as the ensemble for the musical performance sequences though -- since actual Beatles music will be utilized (licensed from Sony/ATV and EMI-Capitol Records) -- they won't actually be performing the 16 songs used in the movie.
Kelly, who is currently on the BBC's "Robin Hood" series, is portraying John Lennon. Liverpool-born Serafinowicz ("Shaun of the Dead," "Couples Retreat") plays Paul McCartney.
Elwes, who worked with Zemeckis on "A Christmas Carol" and is in the upcoming "The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn," will play George Harrison. Campbell will be Ringo Starr. His credits include "Epic Movie" and "Date Movie," and he will be seen on NBC's miniseries "Day One."
