Movie poster artists are without a doubt some of the most vital yet overlooked contributors to cinematic history. Long before the invention of the television and the internet, filmmakers relied on movie posters to persuade audiences to watch their films. Ever since the late 19th century, posters (or then simple 8 x 10 inch lobby cards) enticed audiences to spend their hard earned dollars, and even today, a movie poster can go a long way in helping build excitement and anticipation for a film. Posters occupy a space between art and advertising and have a clear commercial purpose – to promote an event or product – but they also have artistic value and find clever and creative ways to include a sensational one line description of the films; these tag-lines acting much like a newspaper headline.
Over the years movie posters have found more value outside their initial purpose of promoting motion pictures. People now collect them and hang them on their walls and museums devote entire galleries to poster art. 2011, has been a good year for movie posters, and so we’ve decided to look back at tome o the best. Below are the 25 best movie posters released this year, analyzing each poster by evaluating both how well it fulfils its purpose, as well as its aesthetic value.

Sesame Street’s Bert and Ernie are just puppets who are friends and bed mates. But after 31 years of speculation, evidence suggests that Bert may be G-A-Y. Many have interpreted Bert’s use of the word “mo” in a recent tweet as a subtle nod to the homosexual community. But while Katy Perry’s cleavage is off-limits for the show, is an openly gay character? Some say the show is just gay friendly now, citing another segment in which Grover asks what marriage is. The makers of Sesame Street, however, said they are trying to appeal to everyone, not just gay viewers.

CHICAGO (AP) -- The man who robbed a suburban Chicago bank at gunpoint last Friday looks like a hard-boiled, tough guy straight out of pulp fiction. Except for his sweatshirt, which featured a picture of Winnie the Pooh, the lovable Bear who's a classic of children's fiction.
FBI agents on Wednesday dubbed him the Winnie the Pooh Bandit and released surveillance photos from the Park Ridge bank in hopes the public might help to identify him.
They described his as a white male, 35 to 40 years old, 6-feet, 225 pounds, and medium build.
FBI agents like to give bank robbers monickers - such as the Scarecrow Bandit who looked like a character from the "Wizard of Oz" and the Groucho Bandit who wore a fake mustache - in hopes of generating public interest and assistance.

It's hard to believe that Winnie the Pooh is almost 90, but children's favorite teddy bear hasn't had an original outing in print since 1928. The Trustees of the Pooh Properties (how'd you like to have that on your business cards?) have finally approved an official sequel to A. A. Milne's beloved books. Titled, "Return to the Hundred Acre Wood," the new book was written by David Benedictus, illustrations by Mark Burgess. Benedictus has a history with Christopher Robin and his friends; he adapted and produced the audio adaptations of the original stories starring such heavyweights as Dame Judi Dench, Stephen Fry, and Jane Horrocks.
"Return to the Hundred Acre Wood" will be published by Egmont Publishing in the UK and by Dutton Children's Books, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers Group, in the US.It's hard to believe that Winnie the Pooh is almost 90, but children's... more

LONDON (Reuters) – The first official sequel to the original Winnie-the-Pooh books will appear in October, its publishers said on Saturday, more than 80 years after the honey-loving bear first appeared in print.
"Return to the Hundred Acre Wood" is the follow up to A.A. Milne's "Winnie-the-Pooh" and "The House At Pooh Corner," which were famously illustrated by E.H. Shepard.
The new book, published by Egmont Publishing in Britain and Pengiun imprint Dutton Children's Books in the United States, will be written by David Benedictus, who produced an audio adaptation of Winnie-the-Pooh starring actress Judi Dench.
Mark Burgess, who has already drawn classic children's characters including Paddington Bear and Winnie-the-Pooh, is to provide the illustrations. Return to the Hundred Acre Wood will hit the shelves on October 5.
"We have been hoping for a good many years that we might one day be able to offer the world a sequel which would do justice to the original Winnie-the-Pooh stories," said Michael Brown on behalf of the trustees of Pooh Properties, which manages the affairs of the Milne and Shepard estates.
"The original books were one of the greatest celebrations of childhood in any language, but we believe that David Benedictus and Mark Burgess have captured the spirit and quality of those original books."
The story of Winnie-the-Pooh and the original illustrations are still popular today.
A collection of Shepard's drawings for the Pooh books fetched around $2 million at auction in London last month.LONDON (Reuters) – The first official sequel to the original Winnie-the-Pooh... more

LONDON (Reuters Life!) – An original drawing of A.A. Milne's popular children's characters Winnie-the-Pooh, Tigger and Piglet is expected to fetch up to 20,000 pounds when it goes under the hammer Tuesday.
The oval pencil sketch by E.H. Shepard, one of children's literature's most famous illustrators, shows Pooh dipping his paw into a pot of honey while sitting at a table as Piglet and Tigger look on.
On the same day, Sotheby's also announced it is offering what it called the finest single collection of Shepard's original drawings for the Pooh books to be sold at auction.
The sale in London on December 17, which also includes a selection of rare Milne books, is expected to fetch 650-930,000 pounds.
The illustrations, from the collections of Stanley J. Seeger and Christopher Cone, are among the most recognizable, including "He went on tracking, and Piglet ... ran after him" depicting Pooh and Piglet turning to each other as they walk away.
It is expected to fetch 40-60,000 pounds.
Also on offer is "Bump, bump, bump - going up the stairs" featuring Christopher Robin dragging his bear by the leg up the stairs beside him. It is valued at 50-70,000 pounds.
Earlier in 2008, Sotheby's set a record for the work of an illustrator at auction when Beatrix Potter's watercolor illustration for the final scene of "The Rabbits' Christmas Party" sequence went under the hammer for 289,250 pounds.
The drawing on sale at Bonhams is a larger version of an illustration entitled "Tiggers don't like honey" which appeared in Milne's "The House at Pooh Corner," one of four books he wrote about the bear in the 1920s.
Other works by Shepard on sale at Bonhams include a first sketch for Kenneth Grahame's "Wind in the Willows," depicting Rat and Mole lounging with a picnic on the riverbank.
It appeared in the published book with the caption: "Now pitch in, old fellow! and the Mole was indeed very glad to obey" and is expected to fetch between 7,000 and 10,000 pounds.
Other Shepard illustrations at the auction include sketches for Milne's poem "Buckingham Palace," including one which shows Christopher Robin saluting a palace guard and drawings he made for the political magazine Punch.LONDON (Reuters Life!) – An original drawing of A.A. Milne's popular... more

Winnie the Pooh, Christopher Robin and their forest friends are "seriously troubled individuals" according to Canadian researchers.
Far from being the innocent world it appears to be on the surface, Hundred Acre Wood is, say the researchers, a place where psycho-social problems are not recognised or treated. Winnie the Pooh, Christopher Robin and their forest friends are "seriously... more
