# Kid-Friendly Monster Art The Monster Friends Poster Series Makes the Kraken Look Cute By Michael Hines | Published 2010-08-30 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monster-friends-poster-series References: [laughingsquid](http://laughingsquid.com/the-kraken-by-alex-pearson/) & [familytreedesign.net](http://familytreedesign.net/) Monsters will seem a lot less scary and more friendly after you see the Monster Friends Poster Series. These posters were created by various artists, and show legendary monsters in a less ferocious light. What I love about the Monster Friends Poster Series is how cute and lighthearted they are. These posters turn traditional adult-only animals into kid-friendly fare. These posters sell for the frightening price of $28 each and are available from the links to your left. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Kid-friendly Monsters:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating products and content that transform traditionally scary monsters into cute and friendly characters targeted towards children. - **Artistic Collaborations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Encouraging collaborations between different artists to create unique and appealing artwork, like the Monster Friends Poster Series. - **Reimagining Classic Concepts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Taking established concepts, such as legendary monsters, and reimagining them in new and unexpected ways to appeal to a broader audience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Children's Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing new forms of children's entertainment that make traditionally scary elements, like monsters, less intimidating and more approachable. - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring new artistic collaborations and styles to create visually appealing products that resonate with a wide range of consumers, such as the Monster Friends Poster Series. - **Merchandising and Collectibles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating collectible items that reimagine iconic concepts, like legendary monsters, in a way that appeals to collectors and fans of contemporary art. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adorable Monster-Inspired Graphic Tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-monsters.md) - [Playful Character Graphic Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-collection.md) - [Imaginative Soft Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blabla.md) - [Witty Toy-Brand Horror Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horror-poster.md) - [Seasonal Character Mashup Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-frightful-friends.md) - [Whimsical Adventure-Series Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-one-piece.md) - [Spooky Back-to-School Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keds-x-monster-high.md) - [Monstrous Halloween Gummy Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-approved-candies.md) - [Scary Footwear Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-x-monsters-inc.md)
