Recent news about Robert Zemeckis’ negotiations to remake the 1968 animated Beatles movie Yellow Submarine, is all over the web. Good Christ! Really? Ugh. I am sure The Last Unicorn is up next.

It should be noted that the director is specifically in negotiations with the Walt Disney Studios. This of course begs one question: If the deal goes through, how long will it be before we have to endure the inevitable attraction overlay at Disneyland? If you think I’m over reacting, I’d like to point you to Pirate’s Lair at Tom Sawyers Island, an ill-begotten idea that seems to stick out like a sore thumb now that the pirates craze from earlier in the decade has blessedly subsided.
