Where’s the Ariel picture with Julianne Moore? No love for us redheads?

Why didn’t they use the actress that played pocahontas in the New World movie her features would have translanted better. Jessica’s kinda get lost in the picture in fact she just gets lost in the picture. Also i wouldnt have a problem with beyonce if it didnt look like her legs were splayed wide open. Alice is supposed to be a tad more lady like than that. And btw we all have the right to take these pictures as we will so if i want to freak out about it i dont need anyone chastising me.

As an artist, she’s obviously amazing. However, I do agree with a lot of people that casting could have been better.
What about Rachel McAdams for Ariel?
She seems to capture her essence more, and they also look alike.
Scarlett Johansson was PERFECT for Cinderella, though.

Wow some of you guys get so confused by race relations you miss the point. These are all advertisements for Disney Theme Parks where anyone can go and experience the Disney world. This is what the images convey, a sense that these celebrities are fantasising about being in that world. Imagination doesn’t get hung up on whether someone is the ‘right’ race. Any girl in the world can pretend to be Tinkerbell, Alice of Jasmine if they want to and no killjoys can stop them because they aren’t white and blonde.

[...] I’m a big fan of Annie’s works, which is why I was so excited to find out she did a full re-imagining of some of Disney’s greatest movies to advertise the parks. On top of utilizing a great photographer, each image also is unique in that it has an unexpected collection of celebrities, like the one above with Gisele Bündchen (Wendy), Tina Fey (Tinkerbell) and Mihkail Baryshnikov (Peter Pan). The results are truly stunning. [...]

Scarlett, Beyonce, Gisele, Mikhail, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Lopez and Marc were all terrible choices (well Jessica wasn’t bad, but Jennifer Garner would’ve been the PERFECT choice for Pocahontas- a lot fo the same features, and she looks more Native American imo). They could not have gotten a more perfect person to be Snow White, nor Roger for Arthur in the Sword of the Stone one or Julianne Moore as Ariel and Julie and Abigaila s the fairies (it was cool to see the Disney fairies from the book and NOT the movie mentioned too). Elizabeth Banks would’ve made my day as Cinderella. What about Jackson Rathbone for Peter Pan? Granted, I don’t think he was well known when these were made, but I think he’d have made a decent one.

Seriously, is everyone so stuck in there ways that they cant open there mind and see that the point isn’t to just find a celebrity that fits in with the disney cartoon, its about meaning.Disneygirl619 is completely right, its art. Everyone has there opinion, if you think its rubbish you dont have to be rude just go away.

By: Annie

Annie — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 22:27:32 +0000

I think the micheal baryshnikov as peter pan was the worst choice, regardless of ethnicity, Peter was a BOY who never wanted to grow up, not a creepy old man at the window looking at a young girl. Basically destroys the essence of the story, and makes the whole thing look like a bad joke.

Peter Pan, old? Yeah that makes a LOT of sense. Thought he was supposed to come from NeverLand? The use of Giselle Bundchen, sexy and sultry, to represent Wendy, innocent and childlike, is really ironic, but the irony is appreciated.

I think Roger Federer would be better replaced by Orlando Bloom.

David Beckham as Prince Charming was such a poor choice. That would be better replaced by Hugh Dancy.

Beyonce does not have that quirky, animated, and inquisitive mischieviousness that Alice has. Beyonce was the worst choice out of all of them. Better replaced with quirky Zooey Deschanel or the beautiful Natalie Portman.

Whoopi Goldberg I can’t be sure whether to like it or not. It’s aiight.

The rest are fantastic and well cast.

Talk about some dumb ass people. It’s art. They don’t have to look just like the cartoons. Get over it people. Why not get off the couch and pick up a camera and take your own photos. Why try to put someones art down? This is showing the world that you don’t have to be “White” to be a princess. Or “Young” to be a kid at heart. Try to relax with all those negative comments. How about this….If you really don’t like something why not just click the close button and look at something new? These photos are great and different. Take in some new culture. Not everything is so vanilla.

I love them all! I think they’re gorgeous. But I think the fact that not all the races match up makes a lot of sense. I mean, Disney goes for the whole ‘where dreams come true’ angle. Just because a girl is hispanic doesn’t mean she can’t pretend she’s Cinderella, or just because a girl is black doesn’t mean she can’t pretend she’s Jasmine. I love that she did it that way. Especially having an older guy be Peter Pan!! Cuz we all know adults who never actually grew up.

These are the most contrived, horrid photos I have seen in a long time. Leibovitz does nothing to challenge anyone’s thinking about anything. These photos are for an ADVERISEMENT. You’re all naive if you think these have any artistic merrit. But I guess they’re aimed at the masses. So, consume people!

Wow, whoever said pocahontas is from the jungle…good job lol. They actually did really good with that because it looks like she’s running right along the James river as the ship got to Jamestown (sorry, from here.). It’s woods. She did an amazing job on these even though marc and jlo should be more intimate at least looking at eachother or just seeming closer. I love the little mermaid one but I didn’t see it on this site =(.

Love the photos
but ALICE is white with blonde hair so bad casting there
JLO just sorry but her face is awful in the shot
WHOOPI well i love her but she’s not blue or a dude though she has the right personality

and peter pan is just way to old the idea is hes a BOY who never grows up

i think there great photographs if you ignore those flaws

hope she does belle and the beast – and gets the hair colour and skin colour right for them lol
