MOVIE WEEK: Big Miracle billboards...

Big Miracle looks like it's a heartwarming tale, even when it's set in freezing Alaska.

Let's face it, what's not to love about saving some endangered grey whales trapped in the Arctic ice, especially when it's inspired by a true story from the 80's.

These billboards for the movie were snapped at Universal Studios Hollywood on November 30, 2011.

If you like this aquatic themed billboard, you should also check out the Dolphin Tale movie billboard.

Be sure to stay tuned in the coming week for even more fantastic billboards every day at Daily Billboard.

Olivia Munn and Kim Kardashian PETA anti-fur billboards...

Actress and TV presenter Olivia Munn battles it out naked against fur-wearing reality star Kim Kardashian in the skies above Beverly Boulevard in L.A. this month.

Olivia Munn follows in the footsteps of Taraji P. Henson who also stripped naked for a billboard campaign for the animal rights organisation last year to show her support against fur farming.

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) are never afraid to pull their punches and here's another billboard opposing animal testing from May 13, 2011, photographed along Westwood Boulevard.

The Hills reality star Audrina Patridge is another celebrity who has supported PETA in the past, with this pet adoption angel billboard snapped on May 22, 2009.

These new eye-catching and thought-provoking anti-fur billboards were snapped along Beverly Boulevard, the Kim Kardashian version on December 22, 2011 and the Olivia Munn creative on the opposite side of the street on January 12, 2012.

TV WEEK: House of Lies billboards...

Don Cheadle and Kristen Bell are swimming with the sharks and it's the survival of the fittest, or is that slickest, for their new Showtime comedy drama House of Lies.

The team of hotshot management consultants at Galweather & Stearn look pretty cool in this shark tank billboard creative and the floating ties are a nice comedic touch, which hint at the levity in the new series.

The standard size ad was snapped along Sunset Boulevard on December 6, whilst the giant-sized version was photographed looming over Highland Avenue on December 17, 2011.

FESTIVE WEEK: Coca-Cola Arctic Home polar bear billboards...

Those keeping their eyes open for Coca-Cola's jolly Santa billboards this year may be a bit disappointed, but Coke seems to want to do its bit for a worthy cause instead this Christmas and help polar bears in the wild (who are often featured in their holidays advertising).

These festive Arctic Home billboards still do a great job of screaming Coca-Cola, with the familiar red and white colours making the brand instantly recognizable.

The 'Hope into home' creative was snapped along Ventura Boulevard in Studio City, whilst the 'Home for the Holidays' version was photographed at Highland and Franklin Avenues on December 5, 2011.

If you do miss the traditional Christmas ads though, check out these Coke Santa billboards from 2010, 2009 and 2008.

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.

The colourful special extension 'Chipwrecked' billboard really stands out and was photographed along Pico Boulevard at South Alfred Street, whilst the standard version was snapped along Wilshire Boulevard on December 2, 2011.

MOVIE WEEK: War Horse billboards...

One of the best thing about the billboards for War Horse is the beautiful use of rich colour in the creatives which really helps the ads to pop.

Based on the original 1982 children's novel by Michael Morpurgo and the subsequent stage play of the same name, this Steven Spielberg directed drama set in World War I should stir some emotions this festive season.

The film follows the special friendship between an English young man named 'Albert' (Jeremy Irvine) and his horse 'Joey', who is sold to the British cavalry and ends up in the trenches of wartime France. Too young to enlist, Albert travels overseas to save his friend.

This striking, super-sized billboard snapped along L.A.'s Sunset Plaza on December 2, certainly evokes that special bond between boy and horse and really stands out from afar.

The small creative with the boy and horse was photographed along Santa Monica Boulevard at Robertson Boulevard, whilst the small creative with the horse on its own was snapped along Beverly Boulevard on November 29, 2011.

Daily Billboard also spied this other giant version along Wilshire Boulevard in Westwood. Unfortunately with the low winter sun at this time of year it's hard to get a perfect shot without the surrounding buildings shadows obscuring the view.

If you're a fan of horses, be sure to also check out Disney's Secretariat movie billboard from September 2010.

UPDATED: Here's another standard landscape billboard for the movie, snapped at the corner of Melrose and Highland Avenues on December 20, 2011.

Plus check out these original costumes worn by Emily Watson, Jeremy Irvine and Tom Hiddleston in War Horse on display.

UPDATED: War Horse is nominated for six Academy Awards this year and this atmospheric Oscar consideration billboard was snapped along Santa Monica Boulevard at Westwood Boulevard on February 14, 2012.

MOVIE WEEK: We Bought a Zoo billboards...

How can you not love these adorable movie billboards for We Bought a Zoo.

What's not to like about a zebra, lion or a tiger gift-wrapped with a giant festive bow?

Daily Billboard also thinks a rhino would make an excellent addition to this campaign.

These simple and striking animal visuals really do stand out and have a great festive feel too.

The cute zebra landscape billboard was snapped along Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood.

The squarer zebra version was captured along Beverly Boulevard, where the cuddly tiger creative could also be found.

The king of the jungle creative, the lion billboard in other words, was snapped along Highland Avenue at Franklin Avenue. All the different billboards were photographed between the last week of November and first week of December 2011.

What a great way to kick off another themed MOVIE WEEK here at Daily Billboard. Be sure to stick around for more cool billboards from the worlds of sci-fi, animation, romantic comedy, thrillers and drama all week long.

BONUS DAY: Happy Feet Two movie billboards...

What Daily Billboard loves most about these ads for Happy Feet Two is that they are a whole lot of fun.

Let's face it, who can resist a cute baby penguin. This sequel follows the antics of Mumble's son 'Erik' and his family in the world of the Emperor Penguins.

Aside from the cuteness factor of the imagery, the use of 'Novemburr' instead of the month of 'November' is a nice touch for this campaign too.

The 'Novemburr 2011' teaser billboards for Happy Feet Two were snapped at The Grove shopping centre on September 21 and actual release date versions captured along Santa Monica Boulevard and the extra-large version along Beverly Boulevard on October 28, 2011.

BONUS DAY: Arthur Christmas movie billboards...

November has certainly seen a huge Arthur Christmas billboard blitz around the streets of L.A. and in New York, but they've actually gone one step further along Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood and they have a living human billboard installation.

How fun is this interactive PR stunt? Not only do they have an actual 'Arthur' lookalike answering phone calls and waving to passersby up on the billboard platform, but they also have Santa's elves wishing everyone a Merry Christmas at street level.

This fantastic installation looks like it's all for a good cause too, not only is it promoting the new festive film, but it appears to be encouraging gift donations for the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots Foundation, which collects Christmas presents to give less fortunate children in America over the holidays.

They've even gone the extra mile and gift-wrapped the billboard pole which is a nice touch. These photos were snapped near the start of the campaign on November 15, and let's hope that 'presents donated' count reaches a blockbuster total by the time the film opens in cinemas.

Aside from this live-action billboard, there's also a wealth of other eye-catching Arthur Christmas billboards to be seen at the moment.

It's always a little strange to see Christmas themed billboards so early in sunny Los Angeles, the festive creatives always a little out of place against blues skies and blazing sunshine.

However, these are such fun and colourful billboards that you can forgive their early start to the holidays.

Meanwhile, this special trio of billboards for the movie was snapped near New York's Times Square on November 5.

The computer-animated movie from Aardman Animations (the stop-motion clay animation geniuses behind the likes of Wallace & Gromit and Chicken Run) follows the adventures of Santa's son 'Arthur' in the North Pole as he embarks on an important mission before Christmas morning.

As a nice touch, the billboard with all the special extension acrobatic elves even has Christmas tree lights around its border and was snapped along Fairfax Avenue at 6th Street on October 29.

The large format '2 Billion presents' billboard was captured along Highland Avenue in Hollywood on November 14, whilst the other creative with the elves swinging on cables was photographed along Sunset Boulevard on November 2, 2011 (which was replaced by the live charity installation).

UPDATED: Here's another special extension ad for Arthur Christmas spied along Ventura Boulevard in Studio City on December 5, 2011. They certainly spent a lot of money on eye-catching billboards for this seasonal movie.
