From Wikipedia: "A rebus is an allusional device that uses pictures to represent words or parts of words. It was a favourite form of heraldic expression used in the Middle Ages to denote surnames, for example in its basic form 3 salmon fish to denote the name "Salmon". A more sophisticated example was the rebus of Bishop Walter Lyhart (d.1472) of Norwich, consisting of a stag (or hart) lying down in a conventional representation of water. The composition alludes to the name, profession or personal characteristics of the bearer, and speaks to the beholder Non verbis, sed rebus, which Latin expression signifies "not by words but by things"[1] (res, rei (f), a thing, object, matter; rebus being ablative plural[2])." Let's Try It!!! Example: Musician Frank + Zapp + Paw = FRANK ZAPPA! Let's Begin, Shall We? Movie

I see Michael Bay and the truck from Pixar, but the last picture is broken. So, I'm just going to spitball here.
Beethoven?

Yup. (I see the picture just fine of Vin Diesel). Musical (this one's easy, but I couldn't resist)
