The posters by Canadian artist Mike Boon are a typographic tribute to animated movies and famous cartoons. These prints are adorable because Boon created each letter according to different characters.

His latest project is a [Pixar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixar-collection) alphabet that consists of well-known animated stars like Wall-E, Buzz Lightyear and Nemo. The typeface is cute as each letter is not only the first letter of the name of the cartoon, but also designed in the likeness of each animated figure. Boon has also made other terrific typographic posters for movies like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Muppets, the latest tuning in to [Disney's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixar-place-hotel) official merchandise.

Mike Boom has a delightful portfolio of extraordinary typographic designs, which will sure be admired by movie fanatics.
