It’s just odd to think that there is a Star Wars movie coming to theaters this year. Star Wars movies are supposed to be huge deals. Events that everyone talks about and discusses for ages. They are not supposed to be some weird hybrid TV show/movie/marketing ploy thing
And Star Wars posters? They are supposed to […]

Ok, both these international posters are based on this original, released a few months back, but add a little local spice.

First up, France shows us that it is indeed the land of love, by adding a a heart shaped constellation and a tag line that uses “L’Amour.” There are other words in there also. […]

Yes, it’s in Russian. But outside of that it’s exactly like the poster that is being displayed in ShoWest, so it will do for now.
Let’s start with the obvious. Dinosaurs? Didn’t the first film happen in an age when dinosaurs where already extinct? Is there some type of time traveling involved […]

Horton Hears a Who has been getting a lot of posters. And I mean a LOT. IMPAwards is on the case and have all the (many) latest.[…]

Oh look! Isn’t that adorable? Don’t you just want to hug it and kiss it and love it forever?
That was a Tiny Toon reference by the way. Don’t worry, I wasn’t expecting anybody to get it.
Anyway, I actually think this poster is too adorable and cute, to be honest. Look at all the round surfaces! […]

I can’t say I was too interested in last year’s Arthur and the Minimoys, Luc Bessons’s foray into animation. Not that I dislike animation in general, but that one just seemed like an overly light, not very original exemplar of the genre. Add to that some very so-so reviews and I ended up staying far […]

These posters for Horton Hears a Who are in many ways typical of animated movies. Cuddly adorable characters standing against a background made of a bright color.
The character posters are quite sparse, with a very small title treatment and with the character themselves often not occupying that much space in the poster. But I think […]

I’m stunned at how much emotion the little robot can convey. Unlike the very anthropomorphic characters of Robots, Wall-E looks a lot like a realistic robot. And yet, it is full of expression, even in a still image like this. And I think this combination is at the center of why the character seems so […]

It’s a movie about a panda that knows kung-fu, so we have an image of a panda in a kung-fu position. Brilliant!
Well, ok, maybe not brilliant, but the right choice anyway. And the concept is well executed. The Panda is expressive and kind of funny, the background places the film in a foreign location, […]

You know, when I saw the “ball hits bee” scene in the trailer for Bee Movie I didn’t find it funny. Seeing what amounts to a still of that same scene doesn’t make it any funnier. And since we are talking about unfunny things, that tagline? Honey just got funny? Yeah, not doing it for […]
