6 Animated Movie Poster Clichés We're All Tired Of

4. Back Turned, Looking Towards Adventure

Backturned Speaking of adventure, no animated poster shows this more than our protagonist with his/her back to the camera, looking into the distance at the challenge that lies ahead of them. This draws our attention away from the characters, instead giving us a glimpse of what they're up against and again, showing a sense of scope. This shows that there is a bigger mythology at play, and an entire world ripe for exploration during the course of the movie. The farther away the horizon, the bigger the story.
