Pop Culture Tees: TV/Movie/Cartoon
A Slept on Category with Niche Payoff
Not every tee flies off the shelf. Some wait for the right buyer — and when they hit, they hit hard.
That’s the magic of TV, movie, and cartoon graphics: bold prints, strong style, and a built-in fan base.
This category might not be the easiest to move for every reseller, but let’s get one thing straight: it’s a goldmine of style, nostalgia, and personality-packed prints. Whether you're flipping vintage racks, running an online storefront, or curating fits for the culture lovers in your audience, TVF’s TV/Movies/Cartoon T-shirt mix is a category you shouldn’t overlook.
Not Just a Throwback — These Are Modern Tees That Hit
Let’s clear something up: these aren’t all vintage. This mix is mostly modern graphic tees, which is actually part of their superpower.
These are the kinds of shirts people are wearing right now — the bold prints, oversized fits, and character graphics that scream “main character energy.” Think Rick & Morty, Spongebob, Star Wars, Marvel drops, anime characters, and more. It’s pop culture in wearable form — perfect for Gen Z buyers, streetwear resellers, or anyone trying to tap into fandom culture and flip tees with personality.
Why This Category Matters
- Modern graphics mean easy styling. These tees pair with cargos, jorts, or layered over long sleeves. TikTok style? Covered.
- Character graphics pop in online listings. They stand out in photos, which helps them perform in lower-stakes sales environments like Depop, Mercari, or even flea setups.
- They add fun to your rack. Let’s be honest — not every customer wants a basic blank or branded tee. These are conversation starters.
Even though they might take longer to sell, they sell to the right customer — someone who’s buying on emotion. And those sales stick.
For Resellers: Here’s How to Move ‘Em
We get it — sourcing this category can feel like a gamble. But with the right approach, it can seriously pay off.
- Bundle by theme. Anime tees, superhero tees, or '90s cartoon tees — packaging by niche makes them way more appealing.
- Market to fandoms. These buyers search by character, not brand. Use your tags wisely.
- Use storytelling in your product photos. These aren’t just shirts — they’re a trip down memory lane. Play that up in your captions and visuals.
This is a perfect category to have in your rotation — not because it’s the fastest-moving, but because it brings energy and variety to your store. Customers want more than blanks and band tees. They want to find the one — the tee that says something about who they are. That’s what TV/Movies/Cartoon tees do best.
