Earlier this year, Trend Hunter covered the first Disney celeb photoshoot, so we are happy to bring you the second edition.
Disney and famous photographer Annie Leibovitz have sprinkled their magic on a second set of celebrities to appear in the Disney's Year of a Million Dreams campaign. British actress Rachel Weisz was captured as Snow White, along with Julie Andrews as Blue Fairy of “Pinocchio†and Abigail Breslin as Fira. Tennis superstar Roger Federer was photographed as King Arthur. They join previous subjects Scarlett Johansson as Cinderella, Beyoncé as Alice in Wonderland and David Beckham as the Prince from Sleeping Beauty. Leibovitz says that the actors “take these parts very seriously. They all come in having watched the movie and are prepared.†By the end of the shoots, she finds, “they have such a good time playing a role that they don't want to take the clothes off. They want to walk around for a little while.â€
