Giant Brave movie billboard...

How fantastically striking is this giant teaser billboard for Disney/Pixar's latest computer-animated feature, Brave.

With her fiery Scottish red locks, 'Merida', the latest Disney Princess literally demands to be seen against that stunning blue California sky.

With her bow and arrow she looks like she's more then ready for any action this fantasy-adventure can throw at here.

This super-sized Brave movie billboard was snapped along Wilshire Boulevard in Westwood on April 28, 2012.

If you're a Disney fan, be sure to also check out this giant Buzz Lightyear billboard for Toy Story 3 that was snapped along L.A.'s Sunset Strip in April 2010.

UPDATED: Here's another cool creative for Brave snapped along Highland Avenue at Franklin Avenue on May 5, 2012, although it does bear a passing resemblance to Katniss in the recent Hunger Games billboards.

The Ricky Gervais Show season three TV billboard...

Always ready to court controversy, it's only natural that Ricky Gervais would cast himself as God in this homage to Michelangelo's classic work of art from the ceiling of the Vatican City's Sistine Chapel.

This fun, tongue-in-cheek billboard for the third season of his animated HBO series, The Ricky Gervais Show, was snapped along Sunset Boulevard at North Orange Grove Avenue on April 2, 2012.

Animated masterpiece, indeed.

And if you're a fan of the British comedian, be sure to check out these equally witty TV billboards for Life's Too Short.

TV WEEK: My Little Pony Royal Wedding parody billboard...

You're invited to the event of the year and it's a right royal affair. Those clever folks at The Hub channel have done it again with another fantastic spoof billboard for their My Little Pony cartoon show.

This time Prince William and Kate Middleton's 2011 Royal Wedding gets the parody treatment, unicorns, hats and all.

You can't help but notice this fun and satirical billboard, which was snapped along Caheunga Boulevard at the bottom of Barham Boulevard in The Hub's regular billboard location on April 7, 2012.

If you like this, be sure to check out these two other fun ad creatives, the hilarious Bridlesmaid billboard and spooky Ponygeist parody billboard.

MOVIE WEEK: The Pirates! Band of Misfits billboard...

Aside from being eye-catching, Daily Billboard thinks this colourful billboard for The Pirates! Band of Misfits is a lot of fun, in particular the witty 'Laugh your booty off' tagline.

There's nothing like a bit of claymation comedy, especially when it's from Aardman Animations, the creators of Wallace & Gromit, Arthur Christmas and Chicken Run.

These bright special extension billboards were snapped along Melrose Avenue at North Mansfield Avenue and along La Brea Avenue at Romaine Street on March 28, whilst the standard version was captured along Sunset Boulevard on April 5, 2012.

If you like this ad creative, be sure to check out these hilarious Arthur Christmas billboards from around Los Angeles and New York.

Plus be sure to check out these original claymation models of Cutlass Liz, Black Bellamy and Peg Leg Hastings from The Pirates on display.

Madagascar 3 movie billboard...

Don't you just love this psychedelic riot of colour for Madagascar 3. They may not be the best disguise, but those rainbow Afro wigs are certainly a fun way to draw attention to the third installment in an animated movie franchise.

Apparently Gloria, Melman, Marty, Alex and their penguin friends find themselves Europe's Most Wanted as they hide out in a traveling circus in this animated sequel.

This crazy special extension billboard was snapped along Sunset Boulevard at the top of La Cienega Boulevard in West Hollywood on March 26, 2012.

If you like this clever ad, be sure to also check out these cool billboards for Kung Fu Panda 2, which will also make you smile.

UPDATED: Here's another version of the billboard without the special extension, but the vibrant creative still stands out from afar along Wilshire Boulevard opposite the La Brea Tar Pits on April 28, 2012.

TRIO DAY: Dr. Seuss' The Lorax movie billboards..

There are just some movies and characters which lend themselves to great billboard advertising.

Of course it helps if what you're trying to market is a visually exciting creation like The Lorax.

These eye-catching, zesty orange billboards for the animated movie, based on the 1971 environmentally-themed children's book written by Dr. Seuss, really stand out against that gorgeous blue California sky.

The humorous special extension billboard with its yellow bushy eyebrows and moustache literally beams down at passersby and is impossible to miss.

The extra-special 3D version is simply magnificent with its raised features and is Daily Billboard's favourite billboard of the year so far (granted we're still in January), and easily a worthy contender for the BAB Award for Best Billboard Installation.

Here's another standard billboard for the movie snapped on November 30, 2011 at Universal Studios Hollywood.

The standard face creative was snapped along Sunset Boulevard at Cahuenga Boulevard on January 3, 2012.

The Lorax's cheery 3D face (which must have cost a small fortune to produce) can be seen driving along Sunset Plaza at the top of La Cienega Boulevard in West Hollywood and was captured on January 4, 2012.

What a great standard of creativity to set for the start of 2012, let's hope there's more like this to follow.

UPDATED: As the movie's release date draws ever closer more billboards for The Lorax are popping up around L.A., including these two giant ads snapped along Highland Avenue on February 6, 2012, which you can see from as far away as Runyon Canyon with their vivid colours.

Here's also a fun movie theatre standee for The Lorax photographed at The Grove's cinema.

MOVIE WEEK: Alvin and the Chipmunks Chipwrecked billboards...

Are you ready for the third installment in the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie franchise?

Well they're making a big splash around Los Angeles this month with these fantastic life ring buoy billboards.

In this latest family comedy which mixes live-action and CGI, Alvin and his pals Simon and Theodore (plus the Chipettes) get marooned on a tropical island after accidentally going overboard on a cruise ship.

As a special bonus today, here's 'The Squeakquel' billboard for the second Alvin and the Chipmunks movie, which was snapped along L.A.'s Sunset Boulevard on December 8, 2009.

MOVIE WEEK: The Adventures of Tintin billboards...

Giant Adventures of Tintin movie billboard

In addition to War Horse, Steven Spielberg has another big movie coming out at Christmas, this animated one based on Hergé's popular comic book character, 'Tintin'.

Daily Billboard has already featured a fantastic seaplane billboard for the Tintin movie, but here are some other action-packed creatives from around the streets of L.A.

The eye-catching motorcycle and sidecar and 'Unicorn' ship special extension billboards were both snapped along Ventura Boulevard in Studio City on November 30.

This other standard landscape billboard was photographed along Sunset Boulevard at Larrabee Street.

Meanwhile this super-sized billboard along Wilshire Boulevard is a real spectacle and really makes an impact and was photographed on December 2, 2011.

Jamie Bell voices the computer-generated Tintin, and Peter Jackson joins Director Steven Spielberg as Producer to attract audiences this festive season, which looks set to be a battle royal at the box office.

Can the plucky Belgian reporter and his faithful dog 'Snowy' compete for audiences with the likes of Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, The Darkest Hour, War Horse, Sherlock Holmes 2, We Bought a Zoo, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Alvin and the Chipmunks 3, Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol and New Year's Eve all opening this December.

By the looks of things, with this abundance of different billboards for The Adventures of Tintin the studio certainly are going to try their hardest to get butts in seats.

The Adventures of Tintin seaplane movie billboard...

Some billboards just have amazing stand-out and make you go "Wow!", and that's certainly true of this special extension seaplane billboard for The Adventures of Tintin.

This eye-catching billboard certainly gets you excited for the new animation movie based on Belgian artist Hergé's popular character, 'Tintin' (not to mention his loyal dog 'Snowy' and 'Captain Haddock').

Master filmmakers Stephen Spielberg and Peter Jackson bring this treasure hunt to discover The Secret of the Unicorn to the big screen.
