Hey, bulldog!

Monday, January 25: Say whatever you will about “Hard Day’s Night” or “Help!” but no Beatles movie better captures how freakin’ weird the 1960s were than the animated “Yellow Submarine.” From the Blue Meanies to the Nowhere Man to Pepperland itself, this movie is one wild LSD trip. Oh, sorry, it’s for kids!

4 pm. “Yellow Submarine” at Cobble Hill Cinema [265 Court St. between Butler and Douglass streets in Cobble Hill, (718) 596-9113]. For info, visit bigmoviesforlittlekids.blogspot.com.

Laugh it up for Haiti

Wednesday, January 27: We all want to do more to help Haiti, but for now, a good way to help is to cough up $50 for a celeb-studded fundraiser at the Bell House.

7 pm. Brooklyn Women in Comics at the Brooklyn Public Library’s Central branch [Grand Army Plaza at Eastern Parkway in Park Slope, (212) 677-4650].
