Yellow SubmarYAN

Four characters sing while on an animated odyssey in a yellow spaceship. Through their adventures they explore the idea of how western culture and media had begun to permeate Armenia in the 90's and 00's. While romanticizing classic Armenian folklore and, to an extent, the Soveit era in Armenia. The era in which director Robert Sahakyants lived most of his life.

Directed by Robert Sahakyants, Yellow SubmarYAN leans on a strong ensemble — Mkrtich Arzumanyan, Hovhannes Azoyan, Arsen Danielyan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 2002.
