Who owns the copyrights to art from The Beatles: Yellow Submarine?
I want to produce an item, to be sold, that will include artwork from The Beatles' "Yellow Submarine"
Who would I have to contact to get the rights & clearances, and to arrange for royalties?
(I am in the United States)
Please do not state the obvious "Contact the owner of the artwork" -- I know that. I need to contact whoever currently owns the rights to the artwork, and seek permissions, work out royalties, etc.
I just can not track down WHO it is to contact, WHO owns (or manages) the rights to Yellow Submarine & its artwork...
(Note: I need rights to the artwork, not the music or lyrics)
If anyone knows, that would be very helpful.
Thanks!
To answer yor question:
Yellow Submarine for years was not available on DVD and out of print on VHS...all because of red tape issues over ownership - so if you need artwork licensing - UA and FOX would be a good place to start.

Here is some history:
The movie was originally distributed worldwide by United Artists in two versions. The version shown in Europe included an extra musical number, "Hey, Bulldog!", heard in the final third of the movie. For the U.S. version, the number was replaced with alternate animation due to time constraints in preparing the film for domestic distribution. Of all the Beatles films released by UA, this is the only one UA retained the rights to, leading up to its purchase by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1981. In 2005, Sony Pictures Entertainment led a consortium that purchased MGM and UA, and thus SPE now handles theatrical distribution for MGM, while 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment is responsible for home video distribution, although the most recent home video release is now out of print.
With the dawn of the home video era came an opportunity to release Yellow Submarine on VHS and LaserDisc. However, it was held up for some years due to music rights issues that UA had to clear in order for the film to be issued on video by what was then MGM/UA Home Video in 1987. This was presented in its U.S. theatrical release (sans the "Hey, Bulldog!" number), with a simulated stereo mix of the film's original mono soundtrack. After a couple of years, the video was pulled from release, and for many years mint copies of the initial home video pressing were considered collector's items.
In 1999, United Artists and Apple Records digitally restored the audio of the film for theatrical and home video re-release. Though the visuals were not digitally restored, a new transfer was done after cleaning the original film negative and rejuvenating the color. A soundtrack album for this version was also released, which featured the first extensive digital stereo remixes of Beatles material.
The film was also re-edited to its original European theatrical release version, with the "Hey, Bulldog!" number restored, whereas the U.S. version deleted this song and replaced it with alternate animation.
The DVD that was released also featured a "soundtrack only" version, in which the dialogue is removed, leaving only the music and the songs. As already mentioned, it is currently out of print (it is up to UA and Fox to decide when it will be released again, pending new licensing fee issues). Used copies are being sold for a premium on the Internet and new copies, although hard to find, are available through collectors.
