Dinosaurs & Toys: New Posters!
Wednesday, October 15, 2014 at 11:04AM
Manuel here bringing you a double dose of dino-related posters. Jurassic Park and Toy Story, two seminal early 90s smashes continue to make waves in 2014. This shouldn't be so surprising seeing as they both function as perfect metaphors for Hollywood, one premised on the ability to bring back to life the dead and forgotten, the other quite literally representing a world where our cherished toys get a big screen treatment.
Jurassic Park, as we know is headed for a splashy 2015 summer sequel. Word on Jurassic World has been quiet (give or take a couple of pics of Chris Pratt in a body-hugging Henley) but since we are only eight months away (!), it’s clear publicity for the film will start kicking into high gear. This is necessary as they’ll be busy dropping plot hints and opening dates and casting rumors for the inevitable sequel by the time the film is actually in theaters. In any case, director Colin Trevorrow released the poster below via Twitter this week.
Toy Story, which had a significantly more successful run as a movie trilogy, has of late been the subject of a couple of funny if feather-weight short films (airing either before Disney/Pixar films or during prime time on ABC) that take our beloved characters into new situations as if they were a couple of CGI-variety show performers. They took on horror last year and this year they’re up against a bunch of dino-fiends in Toy Story That Time Forgot. (I will say, I like the teaser poster better).
Are you excited to revisit these worlds? Do these posters get you excited for these new projects or nostalgic for the properties they inevitably call to mind?

I am very much looking forward to Jurassic World and think (hope?) Colin Trevorrow will create something a bit less JP3 and more JP. I was worried for a while, especially when all these kids were being cast, but I've tried not to read much about the film and just trust that it will blow me away come next winter.
I didn't even realise Toy Story were creating TV specials, but I do agree with you with regards to the teaser poster.
Chris Pratt can star in a Michael Bay film and I'll probably watch, so that's where I am right now.
Among the best babies toys available are play blocks, as well working as well as stacking playthings. These include probably the very best playthings that can help your baby enjoy as well as as well produce the motor expertise from the child. Play blocks video games would certainly assist babies to tell apart in between many forms, sizes as well as colors.
