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 […]

Man, I really, really love this teaser poster for Wall-E. So beautiful and so clearly filled with emotion. It immediately makes me love the little robot. And at the same time, I feel a little sad for him. he looks so lonely in there, looking at the empty sky.
Pixar is obviously trying to do something […]

I generally don’t do TV posters here, but I think this Family Guy one, for the season premiere episode, has just enough movie in it to make it relevant.
You know, after years and years of seeing Star Wars (and it’s posters!) being spoofed you would think that the novelty would wear off. And yet, they […]

Like I said before, main main worry with this film is that the animation technique they are using might not work for me. I totally trust the people involved with the film to deliver a great story presented beautifully. But if the underlying animation technique leaves me cold it won’t matter how well everything else […]

Another year, another Pixar movie opening at number one. To honor Pixar’s spotless track record, here is a quick look at it’s history, and at the posters that illustrated it.
Toy Story (1995)

When Toy Story was released the hubbub was about it being the first fully computer animated feature film. Well, time has passed, and […]

I think that Chris over at Movie Marketing Madness correctly pinpoints the problem with the posters for The Simpsons Movie: they aren’t specifically about the movie; they are all just general posters featuring The Simpsons.
The big question the marketing push for this movie has to answer is “Why should I pay to see this on […]

See our family. And feel better about yours. Heh.
the nice people over at http://www.firstshowing.net/ brought us all these new Simpsons character posters. Nothing too ground breaking here, but a nice reminder that the film is coming.

Posterwire has a nice post about this particular poster, mentioning the many influences of this poster. Recommended read.
I would just like to add that I find very interesting that they would choose to use a very detailed and very realistic image in the poster for a cartoon which is known for it’s crappy drawing and […]

Oh look! It’s a bunch of weird characters ! And then there is the kid who looks out of place and shocked and stuff! This must be a fun movie!
Ok, seriously now. I like the poster. Honestly! I do think that the film is basically about this one character traveling to the future and encountering […]

Ok, time for a confession. When I was a kid I had 4 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ posters, one for every character. And I loved them. They proudly hanged on my wall for several years.
Now, for a second confession. I actually want to see the new TMNT movie. I managed to maintain myself totally uninterested […]
