Blue Meanies (Yellow Submarine)

The Blue Meanies; their Chief, recognizable by long rabbit-like ears, is caressing the Dreadful Flying Glove

The Blue Meanies are the main antagonists in the surreal 1968 Beatles animated film Yellow Submarine. They are a fictional army of disagreeable beings that abhor all music, allegorically representing all the bad people in the world.[1] Their visual appearance was mostly designed by Heinz Edelmann.[2] Producer Al Brodax said that the Chief Blue Meanie resembled production coordinator Abe Goodman.[1]
