Cartoon Posters – 2
“Cartoon Movie Posters” is a book that was published by Bruce Hershenson in the 1990′s, volume 1.
Bill Peckmann sent me some of the better posters in the book, and I posted them last week.
I have to admit that I’m intrigued by the notion of scanning quickly through the history of animation via the poster art. I guess today one would more easily collect a reel of commercial spots. I’m not sure they’d be any more exciting, and the experience would probably wear thin quickly.
Although, it’s not that rare to see a poster for an animated short. As a matter of fact, posters can all too easily be produced by the film makers, themselves. At Oscar voting time we saw posters for all the potential nominees: Paperman, Combustible, Adam & Dog, The Eagleman Stag, Oh Willy!
“Adam and Dog” | “Combustible”
“The Eagleman Stag” | “Oh Willy!”
The winner: “Paperman”
Here’s post #2 featuring some great cartoon posters. Many thanks to Bill Peckmann for planning and scanning and sending.

Oh, how neat! That sounds like an interesting book. I made a post earlier on my blog last month listing some my favorite cartoon posters:

The RKO Tom and Jerry poster is certainly interesting! Wonderful artwork all around.
