Obviously, the onesheet in itself is pretty boring, to say the least. However, imagine both the one-sheet AND the three-sheet combined on display in front of the cinema: Completely different story. To me, both posters in combination work extremely well. With the large puppet on the 3s and all the secondary characters on the 1s, the overall impression must've been really nice.
