The Blue Meanies are the main antagonists of the 1968 animated British film, Yellow Submarine, which was based on the works of The Beatles. They are a group of fierce, if not buffoonish, music-hating creatures who allegorically represent all the bad people in the world. The film was extremely surreal and, as such, the general plot was whimsical at best. However, there was no denying of the malevolence of the Blue Meanies as they remained a solid threat up until the end of the film when they seemingly repented and became a much more pleasant society.
