Allright...this is the straw that is finally going to break the remake camel's back. First I hear Robert Zemeckis is going to remake Yellow Submarine, now this?!!? Why can't movie execs allow new, origianl ideas to be made, instead of rehashing great ideas that don't need to be remade in the first place? NoTLD was already remade in the 90's, as well as a 3-D version. Do we really need to remake a remake of an original? I don't think so.
Sorry for the rant everyone, it's just...........anger enducing. :|
@Jdelgadillo23: You people should constantly spread the word of YARM and say you are going to boycott buying anything from studios unless it is used.I am very rarely buying any new USA DVD's.I will buy a TV Show DVD set to help with the show continuing as hollywood looks at dvd sales on tv stuff but in general i am finished with greedy assholes.just do what you vcan to screw them over so everytime they make YARM then you don't buy somemore.if enough folks don't buy it will hurt them in their pocketbook.

Boo! This is such a rip-off of another project that has been in production since forever! It's called Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated ([www.notldr.com]) which my friend April Guadiana has been a major part in and has animated numerous scenes! Go check it out! ^_^
American style anime. Hmmmm, in America no less. Sounds to me like its just another absurd way of Hollywood whoreing out the old classics to directors to screw them up. Does Zebediah de Soto know what he's getting into. Its like making a deal with the devil. And the deals made worse because he's screwing with one the all time classics!! But that said..if it all goes wrong, Hollywood can blame anime and pretend it wasnt American style...Hmmm! In this case ignorance would be bliss. But De Soto would get a serious western kick to the groin!!!
The original was too trippy and light to be relevant to today's audiences. Bob, your remake needs to be DARK. Get Frank Miller to help you. I'm telling you, Bob, DARK SUBMARINE will be the defining film of the decade.
So - uh - have you actually *seen* _Yellow Submarine_? It's generally regarded as one of the high points of animation history, certainly one of the best animated features to come out of that time period, and it's probably George Dunning's finest hour. It has a lot more going for it than is implied by the phrase "...what (little) the original had going for it."
You have hit the nail on the head when you say that it wasn't the story that made the original so great. Hell, the story of Hard Day's Night was nonexistent, it was the presonality of the Beatles that made it enjoyable.

If they are going to make a zombie anime, use High School of the Dead at least that is a manga.

Besides, the last 3-D remake of Night of the Living Dead didn't have anything going for it outside of Sig Haig.

I truly think that Zemeckis has lost his mind.
