The coolest stuff you're likely to see today! Pixar releases Art Deco inspired UP posters!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. If you didn’t need any other reason to love PIXAR, check out these awesome retro UP poster made to celebrate the release of the DVD and Blu-Ray.
I know you’ll want these big, so click for massive wall-paper size. Enjoy!
There’s also these two which for some reason I couldn’t edit down to web-size without the process messing up the image, but are too cool not to include so enjoy: Click here for some awesome art deco dogs! and here for Kevin!.
Now if only they made these as alternate DVD or Blu-Ray covers, with printable full wrap-arounds we could download… I’d totally either pick that final picture. Adventure is out there!

especially the first one. Thanks for sharing.
-
But I did cry like a bitch twice ( begining and end )
-
Definitely want one of those on my wall.
-
I have always preferred painted or drawn movie posters over retoutched photos.
-
Just kidding, beautiful designs. I'd like a couple of those framed for my studio.
-
Although it's pretty easy to do it yourself. Also, companies should give you the option to download or hell, even request a booklet or just a placer card since some of us like to use the storage binders for our DVDs.<P> Anyway you slice it though, those are some great looking posters. Fuck the naysayers.
-
Go see the power outage, lack of freedom of speech, and bolivarianist chaos!
-
Rio was quite literally the only South American city Norte Americanos knew about. It was lauded as some exotic locale and was often the destination of vacationers seeking travel brochure promised paradise. <P> So yeah, Rio is a country, of the mind, in the context of the time period of these fictional posters...
-
I do not like the cone of shame.
-
P.S daniel_larussos_gonna_fight Taste... ever heard of it??
-
Rio IS a country of it's own. It is unbelibeable how alienated and self centered their citizens are, a rotten, corrupt society that shows no similarities with the rest of Brazil. I've been there about four times (with no intention to go back ever again) and I always felt HORRIBLY out of place there. The culture and the vibe are pretty much out of synch with the rest of us. If you are thinking about traveling to latin america anytime soon, AVOID RIO LIKE THE PLAGUE. Go to Mexico's pacific coast, go to Argentina, or go to Florianopolis (south of Brazil) if you feel brave enough but not suicidal. Rio has always been a bizarre tourist trap that has attracted only Schwazenneger-esque tourists who crave for sexual tourism, drugsm and a fake sense of adventure. As for Venezuela, it is an ironic joke how UP portraits it to be such an exotic paradise, if we look to where that country is heading now (as a matter of fact, all of south america). In a nutshell, go to Europe. Asia. Damn it, go to Disneyland. Nothing to see here.

'Spirit of Adventure' would have made a better title than UP
by KEVIN_COSTNERS_RECYCLED_PISS
'Cars' was a stupid title aswell, almost like it was just a working title that they never bothered to change.
-
... I think the coolest thing would be the BNAT list with my name on it.
-
All art. No PhotoShop.
-
Guess what: Pixar could have called those films THINGS ON WHEELS and BALLOON GUY and they still would have been great and they still would have millions of dollars. Everyone who works at Pixar laughs at you and your title gripes.
-
I think these are by Eric Tan, whose work is always amazing: http://erictanart.blogspot.com/

Sounds like the differences between Buenos Aires and the rest of Argentina. However I wouldn't talk people out of coming to South America, there's a lot to see, SPECIALLY in Brazil. Yes, there's crime and poverty, but the same happens everywhere. I lived 2 months in the USA (New Orleans) an some parts of the city are fucking scary. Awesome place, nevertheless. Now, I've never been to Rio, but if it's such an awefull place, then lets invite people to Machu Pichu in Peru, the northwest and south of Argentina, Sao Paolo and Florianopolis in Brazil, and so on. PS: I've been to Florianopolis three times and it's gorgeous.
-
Those are cool. The people at Pixar are geniuses. They're the only studio left that seems to know how to tell a story and not pander to the lowest common denominator.
-
And it's the coolest design. Figures. FIX IT ALREADY! Please?
-
Better.
-
...Shaun Tan did some work for WALL-E. Love his stuff.

by Nocturnaloner
Love the Eric Tan stuff.
-
Still love the Eric Tan stuff.
-
Most of the posters are actually done by Paul Conrad. I know he was the designer on "Up" and was asked to do these for the Pixar atrium... Craig Foster did the Llama poster. Eric Tan did the Dogs poster. Erik Evans did the bird poster. So there.
-
...during the montage of the couple's life together. I really liked his wife, and was aware that I hadn't seen anything about her in the trailer...
-
...you cry? A cartoon made you cry twice and you think it's overrated?<P>UP is perfect.
-
I'd love to buy one for my girlfriend for Christmas. Doesn't seem that is an option though. Anyone know for sure?
-
Up was a great movie, those a great posters....period!
-
"The coolest stuff you'll likely to see today!"<p> Nope. That would be a big pair of tits wrapped around my cock. Bring on this evening...
-
I would hang those up on my wall
-
in fact it completely loses steam after the first 15 minutes or so. You could call the first 15 minutes perfect, the rest was just average kiddie movie shit. Pixar definitely dropped the ball with it. But with that said it wasn't a bad movie either, I enjoyed it. And it was much better than Cars.
-
Can Pixar please takeover WB, Universal, etc?
-
The WPA made some of the most iconic travel and service posters the U.S. has ever seen. Its unlikely that the government will be producing work like that again any time soon.
-
...were the most perfect part, I'll give you that, but the rest was amazing.<P>First of all, the main character was ancient and kids still loved it...I'm still not sure how they pulled that off. Every character and every plot point was there for a reason and contributed to the outcome...no typical crammed in comic relief or pop-culture jokes. Hell, the image/metaphor of the balloon house slowly loosing gas and the old guy dragging it along is worth the price of admission. Did I mention yet that the main character precipitates the adventure by whacking an innocent corporate drone in the face with his cane and drawing blood?<P>I suppose you don't have to love it, but calling UP "just average kiddie movie shit" is offensive.<P>I will fight you mano a mano or with weapons at a time and place of your choosing...
-
...these posters are awesome, and as much as they have Pixar's fingerprints all over them, some of these are clearly based on the utterly amazing posters that were created for Disneyland back in the day. Just a little shout-out for the Mouse House folks.
-
and given my unbound love for their work, that is absurd. Really looking forward to the DVD.
-
...a theater. I hope you have a decent TV.
-
These images were in the movie - at least some of them were. The one with the camel and the venezuala one definitely were. So, while they may have been released to celebrate the dvd release, they weren't created specifically for it. still cool though
-
These are the posters that Eric Tan created during the making of. Banners of them hung in the open hall at Pixar. Great posters though, but anything Tan has done is great.
-
It was pretty solid, WALL-E level stuff, until those damn talking dogs came up. WTF was that all about? The 120 year old explorer was able to make devices so these different race dogs (with no female dogs around) could FUCKING TALK?! And be so annoying and pointless to the whole thing? UP would be one of the greatests, if it wasn't for this screw up. It felt like it was one or two re-writes from being perfect.
-
... only the Dog poster is Tan. Nobody reads anymore.
-
Totally forgot about Machu Pichu, you are right. Sao Paulo should also be avoided, unless you are at a business trip and has someone to drive for you. Buenos Aires didn't feel that bad. Florianopolis is a pretty good place, and I recommend to anyone from south america, but I don't think it's worth the trip if you're on Europe or North America - go to the Caribeans or Australia instead.
-
These are spot-on perfect designs, similar to the WPA posters. I wish all movie posters look like this. Pixar's graphic designers rock!
-
The first 15 minutes were awesome, but it was all downhill from there. Easily my least favorite PIXAR film. The posters are cool, I would like to see some like this for the other, better PIXAR films.
-
Nice. I like that Disney is honoring their history a lot more now than they have in the past. Up is one of Pixar's best. I can't wait for the DVD.
-
These were hanging in the Pixar atrium back during the summer... here's a photo from when I was out there in late July: http://tinyurl.com/yl8bprn

How'd you get to visit mecca?
-
I've always had a love for art deco and (especially early German) and 50's commercial art ... but that was a bit later.
-
you should go to plan59 . com<p>great 50s commercial artwork there.

Flicka: Yeah, my very bad for missing this on the big screen
by HarryCalder
But I do have friends with good boxes, so I watch the lush flix on their luxe electronix. I like "x" today.
-
Actually looks like several different styles. Muntz Industries does look like art deco, Fly Up looks more in the style of Mary Blair (Disney artist; think It's a Small World), as others have said, Muntz's Lair looks like the old Disneyland attraction posters and Spirit of Adventure looks like something from Saludos Amigos.
-
The zeppelin. The rest are 40's-60's. On the whole, the artwork is great, but with a whole lot of anachronistic typefaces thrown in.

Love how people wer themselves everytime Pixar is mentioned!
by HollywoodHellraiser
Pixar could release a 2 min vid of CGI grass and people would cream themselves!
-
I dig 'em like Smacks!
-
Fail.
-
Eat it up Pixar hypers.
-
so Rio is to Brazil what Quebec is to Canada? wow...we're so far apart and yet share such a similar problem, it truly is a small world after all. :P
-
With an amazing opening....that can be called pure art...and felt like it was some brilliant pixar short...it just seemed to die a slow death afterwards. But i always love how when I see a pixar movie it always seems cartoony at the beginning and then seems to get photo realistic as it goes on.
-
makes me sad that I wont be able to see UP in 3D again
-
I'll be the fair one and let you use the butter-knife.
-
Coincidentally, I'm working on a project where I've been researching flight/train posters from the 20's through the 40's. These are perfect. I'd expect no less from the geniuses at Pixar.

Actually Nosferatu Jones, those posters ARE done in Pshop
by white_vader
Did you look at the big versions? Probably Illustrator as well. But if by Photoshop you mean duotone images with floating heads and some little guy running with a gun beneath, then I get what you mean...

by Dr. Hfuhruhurr
No, because that would be crap and Pixar doesn't make crap. DreamWorks does.
