THE BEATLES / YELLOW SUBMARINE (ANIMATION)

Chief Blue Meanie enraged with Max.

Original animation cel from the feature length animated film (United Artists/King Features Syndicate, 1968). Single sheet of hand-painted gouache on celluloid, with production notations in ink in lower margin reading "Att.1/Sc3/CM-54". 315x406 mm; 12 1/4x16 inches. Loose and framed.
The design of the Chief Blue Meanie and his minions is attributed to German illustrator Heinz Edelmann, and not, as was often thought, Peter Max.
