Catalogue Note
The character of Jeremy Hillary Boob Ph.D, a.k.a. The Nowhere Man, is the sole resident of the Sea of Nothing. Jeremy is a last-minute recruit to the crew of the Yellow Submarine after he fixes the engine and propeller. Voiced in the film by Dick Emery, he describes himself as an "eminent physicist, polyglot classicist, prize-winning botanist, hard-biting satirist, talented pianist, good dentist too".
Under the overall direction of George Dunning and art director Heinz Edelmann, over 200 animation artists took eleven months to complete the thousands of drawings and celluloids required for this 87-minute feature film.
