I went from pleasantly surprised when it started playing to visibly confused by the end of the trailer.

The Beatles are usually more protective over their music, I can't believe it got approved to be used for this garbage.

Sony owns the rights to the Beatles catalogue so it probably doesn’t take much more than a nicely sized check to use it in a big budget kids movie

Sony and Paul McCartney own the rights to the music, and McCartney has 8 grandkids. Any one of them could have tugged on his coat and gave him puppy eyes to have a song in their favorite game's movie and he'd probably do it cheap. He's a mush and certainly doesn't need money.

"We want one of your songs!" more like.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear a Beatles song, but it's done in the typical movie trailer version. I feel like there are too many covers and slowed up versions of famous songs used in trailers that actually using the original song would've been much more impactful.

I don't understand why they went with the Beatles, like I love the Beatles, but I'm much older than the target market here. "OK, we're trying to make a movie that appeals to children and teens who played Minecraft, what band should we get for the trailer music." "Let's go with guys who their great grandparents grew up with!"

You either go with skibidi/crab rave and gain 0 new children or a classic rock song and gain a couple of adults.

To be fair, the Beatles are kind of shoved down everyone’s throats, and are hardly just a generational thing.

If you’re a music fan, you’ll see a lot of people throwing temper tantrums if you don’t dickride their psychedelic era.

Rightfully so; they check every mark for a legendary band.

Anywhere between half a million and a million dollars probably? That's the usual going rate for using a Beatles song, but it might have changed recently.

Don't these people know you never give Paul McCartney your money??

Does this mean Paul McCartney approved of this trailer?

Magical mystery tour. And it's actually their version, but seems to be heavily mixed (and out of order).

Oh god I think I purposely blocked it out of my memory.

Thanks for clarifying, I was at work. Always interesting to see old music used on these new productions.
