Seen this movie at our local cinema on opening night. The owner said I can have both after requesting interest. I had to wait until she pulled the plug on the movie before I could get them. ended up getting this one and the 8-Bit Wreck it Ralph-- which was given to a friend and hard-core console gamer. Was a pain to find the actual movie-sized frame but the local Wally*World came through.

I have one of those. I called some local places and they said I gotta have the frame custom made, which runs $100+ and I am not going to spend that kind of money for a poster frame. I called the local WalMart too and they said they didn't have one that would fit.
 
Look on walmart.com and then do a local search of the stores in your area. They will also do a ship-to-store option as well. This bad boy only cost me 19.99 + the sales tax.
 
wally world and michaels craft shop are my goto places for frames.

looks great, love that pac wall mural as well.
 
Now you need to back light it.

Do show me the way Shawn. I know you've made some gnarly back light boxes in the past..

Also too this poster is reverse-printed so it wouldn't look too hot from a back lit box.

Non of the 80s ones were either. My original TRON looks awesome backlit.

Picked it up last January who custom made two of these; One for his daughter and this one he sold, it has the optional bow to make it into the Ms. Version...

Thanks. The walls were bare white when we moved here prior. I masked off the maze with blue tape as well as the dots/ghosts thenpainted the background with a roller. Finished it all in by hand... What a chore.
 
Michaels is a ripoff, they even got fined by the State controller for their prices / coupon scheme.

maybe but their 5 cent brushes are a good deal and i haven't had any issues using their coupons other than having to argue with the little old lady at the register and manager occasionally.
 
Wally World has the frames. I just bought 2 so I can frame 2 of my WiR posters. One front and one back.

Now if I can just find a 5 foot by 9 foot frame for my WiR movie banner......

michaels sells frames as does aaron brothers. Only arron brothers has a 27x40 glass frame. You can find frames on ebay too. Both places usually have sales, so you can get frames for 50% off if your willing to wait.

Glass is not the best way to frame movie posters, but if its not a rare poster, then who cares. I was told glass can transfer mositure to the print and then it can get stuck to the glass. Plus if you break glass, you will probably damage the print.
