New poster round-up: The Croods and Wreck-It Ralph join The Hobbit on his Unexpected Journey

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

I’m curious: how many of you out there 1) are NOT familiar with the era of video games being referenced by WRECK-IT RALPH and ARE still interested in seeing it or 2) ARE familiar with the era of video games being referenced by WRECK-IT RALPH but are NOT interested in seeing it?

It’s up to you to decide if the tagline shown below is really true, and you’ve got until November 2nd to do it.

Sticking with animation for a moment, here’s the debut poster for THE CROODS.  The first in Dreamworks Animation’s massive slate of upcoming movies, it deals with “a previously undiscovered era known as the Croodacious – a time when Mother Nature was still experimenting and the flora and fauna we know today hasn’t evolved yet.”

Nicholas Cage, Ryan Reynolds, Emma Stone, Clark Duke, and Cloris Leachman star.  You can begin the journey with them on March 22nd, 2013.

I’m actually sort of loathe to run this poster for THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY, because it looks really silly to me.  Maybe it’s the fact that it’s mainly all of the portraits done by the dwarves photoshopped into one bearded mass, or maybe it’s more specifically the “thumbs up” being given in the bottom right corner.  And I know that it’s showcasing the lighter side of Peter Jackson’s next journey into Middle Earth and all, but in looking at it I can’t help but imagine that it’s actually advertising some sort of very hairy remake of The Smurfs.  Or something like that.  I don’t know.  I don’t know what to say about it, except that it just looks awfully funky.  Help me out?

Take the other kind of journey December 14th.

And while we’re here, let’s have the third kind of Journey.  Because I just won’t stop believeing.  Or using excessively overplayed jokes.  Heh, overplayed… because they’re a band…
