“Babar” (ぞうのババール), Original Japanese First-Release Movie Poster 1989, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) P78

This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster for Babar (ぞうのババール), the family animated feature based on Jean de Brunhoff’s beloved children’s books. Released at the height of Babar’s international popularity, the film translates the character’s classic storybook world—gentle adventure, humour, and friendship—into a colourful big-screen event for children and families.

Design
A wonderfully bright, storybook-style design with immediate wall appeal: Babar strides forward in his iconic green suit and crown against a soft painted landscape with mountains and a rainbow, framed by ornate “storybook” columns like a theatrical proscenium. The huge red title block 「ぞうのババール」 dominates the lower half, with charming vignettes of supporting characters and scenes tucked around the edges—pure children’s-cinema nostalgia. The poster also notes this as a theatrical feature (劇場用映画) and includes Japanese-language dubbing release markings, reinforcing its domestic cinema campaign purpose.
