Disney say the documentary is “a celebration of the legendary band that revolutionised pop music, and the iconic, harmonious sound they created that personified the California dream - captivating fans for generations and generations to come."
They add: “The documentary traces the band from humble family beginnings and features never-before-seen footage and all-new interviews with band members and other luminaries in the music business.”
Brian Wilson adds: “I’m super happy with the way the documentary turned out, they did an amazing job. It really brought me back to those days with the boys, the fun and the music. And of course those incredible harmonies.”
