I will answer for my crimes of mistyping, which is exactly the mistake I made here! Those darn 6 and 7 keys are right next to each other! Thank you for catching the error of my finger's ways!<br><br>To answer your question, I was mostly referring to the Sgt. Pepper album. Not just the cover art but the whole album insert which, I'm sure as you well know, is filled with cut & paste, collage-style artwork that we see echoed here in the poster for PARNASSUS.<br><br>I guess you could liken it to Yellow Submarine also, which is obviously a bit more cartoonish. Yet, if you look at Gilliam's earlier stuff, it features a lot of design that is very Yellow Submarine-esque. So, in a round about way, they come from the same place in the sense of imagery and design. <br><br>With that said, this poster is a beautiful example of Gilliam getting back to the style he is known for with films like BARON MUNCHAUSEN. A style that The Beatles also used to draw you into their magical world. Let's just hope the film is as magical as this poster makes it seem. My apologies sir!
