All of the telltale signs are there: the sound of joyful music pipes across the promenade; the smells of popcorn and cookies waft through the air; and the colorful attraction posters depict all the wonderful rides and shows created for Guests by the Imagineers. \u003ci\u003ePoster Art of the Disney Parks \u003c\/i\u003eis a tribute to those posters. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDisney attraction posters have been an important means of communication since Disneyland began displaying them in 1956. Not only are they eye-catching pieces of artwork that adorn the Parks with flair and style, they are also displayed to build excitement and disseminate information about the newest additions to the Disney landscape. When the first attraction posters made their debut at Disneyland, one such piece of art proclaimed that Guests could have a \"true-life adventure\" on the Jungle Cruise. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs evidenced by the evolution of the attraction posters, art styles and design techniques have certainly changed over the years. These characteristics also differ from continent to continent. Posters from Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, and Hong Kong Disneyland exhibit the nuances in presentation that give each Park's pantheon of posters its signature look. But while artistic interpretations and color palettes may vary from Park to Park and from year to year, the spirit of Disney storytelling is a constant that ties them all together. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSearching for that perfect gift for the Disney theme park fan in your life?
