The animation for Beatles Rock Band is stunning. Every movement takes you back to the time of Beatlemania, whether it be the mop-tops shaking their heads, or the screaming fans at Shea Stadium. I loved the transition between the Fabs' concert era and their more "experimental era" of music. They show the Beatles going up an elevator, with their dress changing to more colorful Sgt. Pepper uniforms. Once "I am the Walrus" plays, more CG elements are added in, which really give a different dimension to the piece.
The 2D animation at the beginning of the short is great and I think a lot of that has to do with the appeal of the character designs. The Fab Four look like themselves, but are slightly caricatured to give them a fresh look. All the characters are stylized, and the result is very appealing.
