Disney Dreams

I've been meaning to write this blog for a long time. Anne Leibovitz, a noted photographer who has taken some of the most beautiful pictures from the likes of John Lennon, Demi Moore and Nicole Kidman, joined with Disney to produce a series of famous Disney characters played by famous people. This project of hers started back last year, and so far she has built a great portfolio of some of the childhood idols, like Prince Charming, Cinderella and Snow White.

These were the first few to come out:

Beyonce as Alice; Lyle Lovett as March Hare; Oliver Platt as the Mad Hatter

Scarlett Johansson as Cinderella

David Beckham as Prince Charming

And later on the other series were these:

Rachel Weisz as Snow White

Julie Andrews as Fairy Godmother; Abigail Breslin as Fira (from Disney Fairies)

Roger Federer as King Arthur

These pictures came out this year, and so far all of them have captured the Disney magic:

Gisele Bundchen as Wendy; Mikhail Baryshnikov as Peter Pan; Tina Fey as Tinkerbell


Jessica Biel as Pocahontas

Marc Anthony as Aladdin; Jennifer Lopez as Princess Jasmine

Whoopi Goldberg as the Genie

Recently I managed to browse through the Internet, only to find this other one. Was so glad that it was once again another one of the pictures that were to be added on to the collection. It starred Michael Phelps as a merman and Julianne Moore as Ariel.

I love her work, and it's a shame these pictures are not sold commercially, otherwise I would have purchased a whole set of them. Most of all, it's difficult not being able to follow up on the latest pictures, I can't seem to see any new updates on the website it used to be in. So hopefully fingers crossed, I'll be able to get all of them once this project is complete. As for now, I'll be happy to look at them on the desktop every day.
