(*)"The first thing when we heard people were going to do a cartoon...have a man, who sailed to sea, and went to the land of submarines.Sounds like a pretty good story. Go down under the water, see all these things, meet all the people that live there. But we were into kind of psychedelic stuff with Pepper and those kind of things, so they wanted more of that kind of stuff. So it was up to them, anyway, so we went along with that.
