Alright, I'm back.  "Nowhere Man" sounded perfectly fine to me, Kev, so I guess it was just you.  And, actually, so did "All Together Now."  Well, at least the first one did, but I'll get to that in a moment...

Mine did have a slew of problems, though.  At first I thought it wasn't going to play at all.  The opening narration started, but the screen was black.  Then, about a sentence it, it stopped entirely.  This sequence repeated a few times before we got a single image of a Pepperland inhabitant.  And then finally it started up properly.

I did eventually become aware that the audio for the entire film was a bit out of sync.  I honestly didn't notice it until near the end, due to the animation style and the sparsity of dialogue anyway.  I only really noticed when Glove started pounding things at the end, and the sound for it was about half a second late.  But I still wondered if maybe it was just supposed to be like that until The Beatles made their cameo at the end, and their lip flaps didn't match up at all.  So that was a bit disappointing, but nowhere near as disappointing as when the second "All Together Now" started playing... and the theatre cut the audio halfway through in an attempt to get us out faster so they could set up one of a million other showings of The Avengers.  Needless to say, everyone booed.  Not that that was terribly impressive as there was less than two dozen people there sadly.
