A Look at Movie Merchandise & Promotions - SpongeBob, Shrek, Sonic & More!

There's nothing quite like movie theaters. Going to the movies is always such a great experience. The atmosphere, the concessions, and of course, the movie displays! Whenever a movie is released in theaters, companies produce tons of extra material made to promote the films. Posters, standees, statues, and even publicity stunts are just some of the creative forms these can take.
There is a lot more to the release of a movie than the film itself. Lots of promo items and material is prepared and released to help boost the movie's chances of being a success. Almost any film you can think of has its own material. Alvin & The Chipmunks, Kung Fu Panda, Sonic The Hedgehog, Spider-Man, The Smurfs, and much more!
In this video, I talk about movie promotional items, statues, tie-ins, a marketing stunt gone horribly wrong, and more! Do you remember the time 7-Eleven became the Kwik-E-Mart for The Simpsons Movie? Or the time a Cartoon Network movie sent an entire city into panic? All of this and more is discussed in today's video. Let's take a look at some of the most fascinating pieces of promotion from some of our favorite movies!

Last year I went into a dollar store and they had a bin full of tiny Shrek plushes from the 3rd or 4th movie. Over 10 years old and still new in the store, it was surreal and I definitely bought one. Also I don't know if it was the 7/11 one but I remember years ago someone won a contest to have their character added to The Simpsons. There was an article making a big deal about how the winner worked with the show writers to make an interesting character and design, and said he would be in an episode that season. I totally forgot about it until I was watching years later and that character is introduced, says maybe 3 sentences, and crashes his car off a cliff in under a minute. That had to have been embarrassing for the contest winner.

Day 121: After today, I'm going on vacation to Chicago!!! I haven't gone on vacation in years, and its some place new!!! Anyway to get my thoughts about the sonic central out of the way, I loved colors ultimate lol they seem to be doing a lot, considering pre ordering it. The origins collection is gonna have widescreen sonic 3 & knuckles so that justifies a purchase alone, unsure how to feel about the new sonic game. I wanna see more then just a (really gorgeous btw) cgi trailer with a funny symbol. I am hyped for it, but I'm just waiting to see more (oh yeah also it might be called sonic rangers which I find funny lol). Anyway yeah thats all lol

In the neighborhood where I live in there was a house on the other side of the area that had an Alvin statue that was seriously sun tanned. On that same area there was a house where the back yard had a Lisa Statue and an unrelated M&M statue ( it had holes so it was most likely a display), I don't know if they still have them because these days I don't really pass that area anymore.

A lot of people are asking where Pat went. Here's a trick for you. Switch from top comments to newest first and scroll down to around a month ago (or however long December 2020 was from when you're reading this.) There's a comment that PatMac himself replied to stating he'll be taking more time for future uploads to ensure higher quality. Seven months is bit of a long wait sure, especially considering this is the guy who normally uploads every month, but if it means better quality then it should be, as a wise man from Valve once said, worth the wait. For now, we wait.

About the shrek marketing bastardization subject, that reminds me a lot about evangelion, the anime franchise about depression, gods and overall a pretty heavy series to get into for a lot of people, and yet it is one of the most marketed old mecha series not only in japan but across the world as well what's ironic it's that while in the original evangelion anime everyone was miserable, the promotional artwork for eva products have the characters be happy, the joke it's that evangelion characters are more happy in products than in the actual show. The relationship with shrek and eva runs deep, not directly but in what the original purpose and messages they had, shrek was a parody and middle finger to disney who was the king of entertainment in the early 90's making fun of how they bastardize fairy tales for profit and how predictable they can get. Evangelion is a critique about the anime industry and otaku culture in japan from the 80's, the fetization of underage girls, the clunky and slow mechas like gundam replaced with the evas and essentially making a realistic version of the old mecha trope of a kid with a giant robot and making it more of a punishment than something fun. That got thrown out completely out the window once evangelion became a marketing juggernaut eventually becoming the thing it was criticizing, just like shrek.

Crazy at it is, most of the props and items for the recent "released" movies might be as well part of the lost media, mostly because we haven't seen half of the promotional items produced due to not being able to go out to the theaters (well in some part of the world) and some of the companies do not release this kind of stuff so easily on the internet, i know that we might see them sooner or later but as it is now... it's going to be a long time to see the goodies that they made for those movies

I also couldn't take it apart without ruining it. This thing was huge. I keep small standees and posters all the time, if it was a statue and I didn't have to send it back I would keep it. If you ask theaters especially big theaters a lot of managers will give you posters or standees when the movie gets out of theaters.

PatMac mentioned how there used to be contests for The Simpsons Movie, and his explanation about them reminded me of something I remember so vividly. Back in 2009 when Coraline was getting ready to release in theaters or when it was already out at the time, they had a contest for the movie where you could take a picture of either yourself, your friends, or your family, maybe all of them as well, and you submit them to the guys running the contest, And if they picked your picture, they would make it look like they sewed buttons over your eyes and maybe let you share it with the world or something like that. Looking back on that day when I was approached by that contest offer, I think I totally regret not having a good picture of myself to send in just so I can see myself with button eyes so I can see how cool it would have looked. But I was only 9 years old at the time of the film's release, and after seeing what Coraline would have went through, I was scarred for life and honestly thought I was going to legitimately have buttons sewed over my eyes since it sounded so real. Biggest regret of my life, no lie
