A bright animated movie poster for Rally Road Racers shows three animal characters riding in a red race car. A determined monkey wearing a red helmet drives, while two other animals—a wide-eyed small creature and an older character with glasses—ride along. The car speeds along a tilted road with a city skyline in the background. Text at the top reads “From the Producer of Shrek,” and the title “Rally Road Racers” appears in bold yellow letters near the bottom, along with “Only in Theaters May 12.”
