# Toy Oscar Portraits OldRedJalopy Incorporates LEGO Characters into Blockbuster Film Posters By Peter Vallas | Published 2011-03-24 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oldredjalopy References: [leetlady](http://leetlady.com/blog/?p=16363) & [oldredjalopy](http://oldredjalopy.com/#) Poster creation shop OldRedJalopy has a group of very original artists. The one-of-a-kind poster shop creates their own designs while being irreplaceable by next to none. The latest creation from OldRedJalopy is the [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-carter) Oscars series which takes the famous actors in the Oscar-nominated film posters and replaces them with the smiling yellow figurines. The LEGO-like tribute to these [award-winning films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/willy-wonka-the-chocolate-factory-lego) is both accurate and quite funny. OldRedJalopy brilliantly recreates the posters of Black Swan, Inception, Toy Story 3, True Grit and the other nominees for Best-Picture at this year's Oscars. Whether you’re a fan of the movies, LEGO or just want a fun poster for your living space, the LEGO Oscar series by OldRedJalopy will really liven up the room. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **LEGO Oscar Series:** Creating LEGO versions of Oscar-nominated film posters presents an opportunity for LEGO to expand its partnership with the entertainment industry. - **Poster Recreation:** The recreation of famous film posters using LEGO characters opens up possibilities for innovative collaborations between toy manufacturers and movie studios. - **Creative Fan Art:** The rise of fan art, such as the LEGO Oscar series, showcases a trend of fan-generated content that can be monetized through licensing and merchandise deals. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Manufacturing:** The LEGO Oscar series highlights the potential for toy manufacturers to tap into the film industry by creating licensed merchandise and collectibles. - **Entertainment:** The recreation of film posters using LEGO characters presents an opportunity for movie studios and production companies to engage fans through unique marketing and promotional campaigns. - **Poster Design:** The LEGO Oscar series sparks a demand for innovative poster designs that incorporate popular culture icons, creating opportunities for graphic designers and poster creation shops. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Space-Themed Puzzled Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-carter.md) - [Blockish Music Tour Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ideas-eras-tour-poster.md) - [Toy Brick Reimagined Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-movie.md) - [Horror Film-Inspired Brick Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ideas-jaws-set.md) - [Old Film-Honoring Puzzle Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tribute-camera.md) - [Fandom-Honoring Building Block Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fandomhonoring-building-block-sets.md) - [Reimagined Film Brick-Form Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bricktoons.md) - [Nostalgic Film-Inspired Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boos-door.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Classical Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan.md)
