They have all gone through numerous adventures, and we always tagged along, like the best of friends..
We grew up with them. And we might be 'big' now, but when we're sad, or someone lets us down, we all rush to grab that DVD & tuck it in that player... And everything - magically, as always - seems brighter!
They need no introduction. They are the magical Disney protagonists!
The following is a series of marvellous photos taken by the brilliant Annie Leibovitz, who was commissioned by Disney to work on an ad campaign. A campaign which is singular in its kind. A campaign which can be easily defined as a great work of art in its own right!
All the protagonists have been interpreted by a celebrity...

I love every single picture, especially the ones of Ursula the Sea Witch and Snow-White's stepmother. They have been my favourite Disney villains since ever. And the role of the Genie really suits Whoopi Goldberg!
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough I always loved Ursula best too J P. Such a horrible person that inspired me all through.
DeleteI luv Goldberg's best. I love them photos though they are fabulous. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAwh these pictures are so nice they take me back to my childhood. As you said I still watch them when all seems so gloomy. Disney is so magical.
ReplyDeleteMhm having Beckham in Disney is just yummy. Would have loved Disney even more. Instead we are now lumped with Bieber.
ReplyDeleteJohnny Depp is the best
