All these posters fairly dark colour. Something all the titles have in common is that they have a dark gold/black  title and the font is a cursive medieval font. They also have the main character on the poster. Theres also some action going on in the posters. 

A film out of these 3 that i think teenagers would watch is beauty and the beast because there is romance in it and a few cliff hangers which is enjoyable.
