These are the small matted size prints, but very nice. Why this is the store they chose to display them in is beyond me. What's more the CM's in Disneyana and the Gallery knew nothing of it's existence despite that they carry the other attraction posters. The print costs $35.

However, both Marlin and Nemo look wrong. I still like the kids t-shirt design best. /cs

Originally Posted By SIR at X-S Tech Yes the characters are far from the way you remember them in the film- they aren't even really in the stylized graphic look from Nemo books. They look more like preproduction art for the film. However, as the poster was designed by Ralph Eggleston (Production Designer on Finding Nemo), I'll forgive any slight inaccuracies.
Originally Posted By DlandJB Dug not only photographed it, but he bought it for me since Dory is my favorite character. It is designed in the style of the early park attraction posters and especially in a style reminiscent of the original submarine voyage poster. It is very beautifully matted as well. I am very happy with it.

Originally Posted By SIR at X-S Tech I wouldn't say it's in the style of the old poster- those were screenprinted and therefore had a very sharp flat look with just a few colors. The overall execution of this is more like Pastel preproduction art from Nemo, with lots of tones and blurred edges. But the layout takes a cue from the old poster.

Originally Posted By SIR at X-S Tech The new Nemo Popcorn Bucket is much closer to the old Attraction poster in style- the extreme right side is almost an exact copy, albeit with Bruce standing in for the mermaids, a Tiki statue instead of the Column and Mines for the seaweed. But the layout looks like an exact copy. Sorry, again no pictures.

Originally Posted By SIR at X-S Tech I only saw them at the Main St Popcorn Wagon today, it doesn't look like they've made it to the rest of the park yet.
