And Yellow Submarine  means so much to me. It came out in 1968, when I was in my last year of high school, and if someone had giv­en me the inform­a­tion on how to ded­ic­ate my life to mak­ing anim­ated films like that, I would have gone there (and lived a com­pletely dif­fer­ent life).”


Sometimes I won­der if Ann Althouse is actu­ally try­ing to be funny. 

BTW, I saw Yellow Submarine in 1968 to, when I was in…what, fourth or fifth grade? The friend I saw it with enrolled, many years later, at the School of Visual Arts, with a kind of double major in anim­a­tion and sequen­tial draw­ing. But as no one had, pri­or to that, giv­en him inform­a­tion on how to ded­ic­ate his life to etc.,etc., he actu­ally had to bang a rail­road spike into his skull sev­er­al times before he was able to make the determ­in­a­tion to apply there.
