Leibovitz takes on Disney- 01.27.07
Breathtaking new ad campaign for Disney’s Year of a Million Dreams’, featuring photography by genius Annie Leibovitz, and Scarlett Johansson, Beyoncé, David Beckham, Lyle Lovett, and Oliver Platt. My favorite tagline “Where imagination saves the day.” These photographs reignite my love of fairy tales, myths, fables ~ and are a great example of how universal these ideals are… who doesn’t smile at the sight of them?
“Befitting a true princess, Johansson wears a stunning, one-of-a-kind Harry Winston tiara – a dazzling piece in platinum with more than 62 carats of sparkling diamonds and valued at $325,000. The dress worn by Johansson is a custom-made, Cinderella-inspired gown designed by Nicoletta Santoro.” WOW. And when can you find these in print? “The campaign premieres as a special insert in the March issues of Vanity Fair, GQ, Vogue, W, The New Yorker, Conde Nast Traveler and Cookie.”

“Leibovitz, who will soon dress another set of celebrities as Peter Pan, Tinker Bell and Little Mermaid Ariel.” Oooooooh there will be MORE… excerpt from the USA Today article.
Apparently Annie Leibovitz and Disney Parks have launched two more beautiful images of actresses as disney classics for the “Where Dreams Come True” imagery… Rachel Weisz as Snow White, and Julie Andrews as the Blue Fairy with Abigail Breslin as a fairy-in-training.
Oops, i somehow completely overlooked Roger Federer as King Arthur… is it me or does his nose looks pretty weird?
In the third installment of the Annie Leibovitz for Disney Parks campaigns… this time we have ~ J.Lo and Mark Anthony as Jasmine and Aladdin, Jessica Biel as Pocahontas, Giselle Bundchen as Wendy, Tina Fey as Tinkerbell, Mikhail Barishnykov as Peter Pan, and Whoopi Goldberg as the Genie. I must admit that of the three series so far, this one was not as exciting as i’d hoped - but Tina Fey’s expression is priceless!
Here’s Tina Fey as tinkerbell close up!
Here is a video of the making of the ads ~ with comments from the various stars as well!
