New Annie Leibovitz Disney Portraits
In 2007, renowned portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz was hired by the Walt Disney Company to recreate some of Disney’s most iconic scenes in a series of photographs featuring Hollywood celebrities. The Disney Dream Portrait series originally began as part of the “Year of a Million Dreams” campaign to promote Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.
Recently, three new photographs were added to the series, which has previously featured an eclectic mix of celebrities, from Tina Fey as Tinkerbell and Beyoncé as Alice (from Alice in Wonderland) to David Beckham as Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty. The new portraits star Olivia Wilde, Alec Baldwin, Penelope Cruz, Jeff Bridges, and Queen Latifah.
