More Nines

June 16th, 2009 at 10:32 pm » Comments (0)

The above is the recently released domestic poster for the animation 9. It’s a bit darker than the Russian poster, and has more of a sci-fi/action vibe to it. I mean, “When our world ended, their mission began”?, what is this, Terminator?
The visual style still shines clearly, but I think some of the whimsy [...]



The Age of Ice!

June 15th, 2009 at 10:07 pm » Comments (0)

This Ice Age posters tells me two things:
- There is more fun to be had with the footprints of the T-Rex than with the actual T-Rex.
- The squirrel thing is still the protagonist of the most interesting Ice Age posters. In fact he remains the the most effective character as far as marketing the movie [...]



9 + 9 + 9 = Too Much

So, just to make everything clear. This year will see the release of 9 an animated film directed by Shane Acker which has this very cool Russian poster:

Scary, funny and compelling in all the right ways isn’t it? Reminds me a little of Coraline, and I mean that in a good way.
Also coming out this [...]



Feels Like Christmas

May 19th, 2009 at 9:15 pm » Comments (3)

This poster for A Christmas Carol hits just the perfect balance between seeming like a hundred posters you have seen before and still having enough fresh elements to appear modern. Which is exactly as it should be.
Obviously you can’t have a poster that makes the film seem like something straight from the 80’s. And yet [...]



Important Animation Posters

First up, Up. Not much new in the poster to look at, but doesn’t the title seem much more chirpy and joyful in french?

Second , Ponyo, the American version, which is somewhat cleaner and more focused than some others (not ALWAYS a good thing, I should add). And more importantly, reminds me that the film [...]



Dinosaurs!!!

Ice Age is here again, and it brings us … dinosaurs. And mammoths that float around using on giant slabs of ice.
This a very weird Ice Age indeed.
When you have a sequel to a popular film the desire to do a poster that looks kind of similar to a previous poster but WITH MORE STUFF [...]



Astro Boy Emerges

Ah, Astro Boy, the robot with a heart of … well, I have no idea what the hell that is made of. But the important point is that he does have a heart. And he is a robot. See, this is a very sweet story. About a robot.
Ever since I started reading about and [...]



Higher Still

Over the years I’ve become sort of a Pixar fanboy, so you should take it with a grain of salt when I say that these characters are adorable, especially the old guy. So grouchy.
These two posters don’t show us much more than we have already seen, altough the dog is new, which seems to confirm [...]



Monsters Vs. Aliens Posters

January 27th, 2009 at 12:40 pm » Comments (0)

I don’t know much about Monsters Vs. Aliens, but from what I can tell from the posters it will be filled with strange creatures. Which are probably monsters and aliens. I have no idea which is which though.
Also, this blue blob (called bob) will be one of the main characters, after all it’s the only [...]



Up and Up We Go

January 26th, 2009 at 9:40 pm » Comments (1)

This poster for Up is the the logical evolution of the first, cleaner poster. Gone is some of the grace that earlier image, but in exchange we get a better look at the characters that we will be accompanying in this voyage.
The poster campaign for Wall-E worked just with two characters and a small group [...]
