The center of animation posters
Photowall always insists on variety in every category, no matter what the particular subject. In animation posters, there
is a wide array of characters and figures, with the most prominent motifs coming from Studio Ghibli, the animation house
set up by Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata in 1985. There is Castle in the Sky, from the movie of the same name, which
has a quirky vibe to it and a hit of the exotic with its Japanese letters. However, the more known and present animation
posters come in the form of these two films, My Neighbor Totoro and Grave Of The Fireflies. While the former is bright,
tender and upbeat, the latter is bleak and harsh. Although worlds apart in their tone and styles, these two animated
masterpieces have more in common than initially apparent. Both are told from the perspective of young children, and both
are about Japan’s turbulent history during and after the devastating Second World War. With animation posters like My
Neighbor Totoro or Grave of the Fireflies, you do not only bring tremendous beauty into your space, but also nostalgia
and a great subject for conversation. Not to mention, your geek and cinephile credits will shoot through the roof.
The Fab Four
One of the greatest bands the world has ever seen, did not only make catchy and significant records, but even dabbled in
the animation movie genre. The Beatles were completely fresh and different when they first gained popularity, especially
in the United States of America. They constantly experimented and were at the forefront of modern recording techniques,
such as playing a tape backwards on the song “Rain” to get a more interesting effect. The Beatles also pretty much
pioneered the music video with their televised “Hello Goodbye.” Even though they did not invent the hippie movement, they
became the movement's symbols and icons. You can showcase your admiration for these legends with animation posters like
Yellow Submarine: The Beatles, a wonderfully artsy and whimsy rendering of their foray into cartoons. This colourful and
very vibrant piece can stand out in area, whether this is residential, corporate or recreational.
Other players in animation posters
Most of us know who Popeye is, as he has become a staple in nearly every childhood. Although he primarily was a very
popular comic strip character, it is as a movie cartoon star that most people know and remember him from. Popeye’s first
appearance on film was in a 1933 Betty Boop Paramount cartoon called Popeye the Sailor. These cartoons were so popular
that in 1937, the city of Crystal City, Texas, erected an official “Popeye” statue, marking the first time in world
history a city had erected a statue in honor of a cartoon character! Animation posters pay tribute to this iconic figure
with pieces such as Popeye the Sailor, where he displays his trademark pipe and the spinach that powers him. Animation
posters can be a wonderful throwback to your own childhoods, while being the gateway for your children to share with your
wistfulness.
