Loved the original when I was a kid. Not sure it really holds up. Do we really need a remake?

And does everything have to be in 3d lately? Curse you James Cameron!

I think the original's worth seeing. Once. But that may be nostalgia and alcohol talking.

Very much a product of it's time, but visually cool.

How the Hell can you remake this? The Beatles weren't actors playing characters in it. They were the Beatles, playing THE BEATLES! Would he have actors pretending to be them, or would he insert some shitty modern band?

Actually, the Beatles didn't perform in the cartoon (except in the cameo at the end). From Wikipedia:

The Beatles themselves were not enthusiastic about participating in a motion picture at the time. They were displeased with their second feature film Help!, and were further discouraged by the disastrous reception of their self-produced TV special Magical Mystery Tour. They did, however, see an animated film as a favourable way to complete their commitment to United Artists for a third film. (Ultimately, due to their relatively small roles and the fact it was animated, United Artists still considered them to owe another movie; Let It Be would be the third film to complete their contract with the studio.) Voice actors were hired to imitate the musicians' voices in the film.
The Beatles were impressed after seeing a draft of the film, and agreed to make a live-action cameo appearance in the final scene, which was filmed in early February 1968.

Having said that, I think it was a piece very much of its time and I don't think a remake will hit the same chord, pardon the pun :wink:
