In the assignment Mashup Those Movies, we were required to make a movie poster out of several different movies posters. A few ideas went though my head at first. I wanted to do something with Star Wars in it was the main thing. Therefore, I started with the iconic Star Wars IV: A New Hope poster shown here.
I had a mixture of Harry Potter images in the poster at first, with some Pirates of the Caribbean things, and while I was editing the Pirates of the Caribbean Poster, it dawned on me that I could make fun with the Disney buyout of Lucas Arts. Searching through the Google Images search “Disney movie posters” I saw the Wall-E Poster shown here.
I also saw many new posters that ran with the 3D craze we have experienced lately, and I knew I wanted to add the Disney logo somewhere too. Both issues were solved with the Monster’s Inc. poster shown here, because of the way the logo is used with the 3D.
Finally, I wanted to make the poster a little more silly by adding pictures of flying characters from Disney movies, thus Peter Pan and Buzz Lightyear holding Woody were added to the X-Wing cluster in the bottom right. The result is the hilarious Disney’s Star Wars IV: A New Hope 3D. I hope everyone is as excited as I am to see it.
I should note that as a big Star Wars’ fan, I am really excited to see what Disney produces for the Star Wars fans. I grew up on the original trilogy even though it was before my time, and was extremely let down by Star Wars Episode 1: Phantom Menace. Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones was alright I thought, and Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith was the far best of the newest trilogy. That being said, I thought that Lucas Arts could have done a better job with the newest trilogy. I don’t believe that Disney is going to glam up Star Wars and make it silly etc. This is because I am also a huge fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean series (shocker right?). Pirates of the Caribbean is a Disney series, but Disney does a great job in those films distancing themselves from the Disney movie stereotype. I have full faith in Disney that they will produce an outstanding new trilogy and I look forward to seeing them.
