@ HR lover [off topic - sorry, Matt! ]: it was intended to be wild, crazy and psychedelic. When the idea was originally pitched to the Fab Four, Lennon & McCartney strongly opposed it, because the producers were the same of an American series of short Beatles cartoons which were very silly - John & Macca were afraid that the film would turn out very silly as well. So when the producers assured them that they were going to use a completely un-Disney-ish approach and actually incorporate the Beatles' own concepts and ideas about psychedelia, they were more than enthusiastic about it - even if, in the end, their actual involvement in the film was very limited.
If you like the Beatles, I'd warmly recommend you to get the remastered DVD and watch the whole thing, which IMHO is excellent.
Ah, by the way, in the film the word "bluish" is used at least 3 times by the Blue Meanies. One time it's spelt "bluish", then it turns into "blue-ish" and finally "blueish".
