Disney’s going for broke this year! The Walt Disney Company, in an effort to drum up more business for their chain of theme parks, has teamed up with world-renowned portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz for a new advertising campaign.

Leibovitz, the genius behind John Lennon’s naked Rollingstone cover, will be responsible for bringing Disney’s Year of a Million Dreams to life. A Year of a Million Dreams. What that means exactly, I do not know. But I am guessing you have to go to Disneyland or Disneyworld to find out.

In order to market the latest promotional period for their parks, Disney enlisted a troop of A-list celebrities to pose as fairy tale characters from the company’s many animated features. Each portrait captures a memorable scene from a different story.

Scarlett Johansson, posing as Cinderella, can be seen running hastily down a staircase with a glass slipper positioned in the background while footballer David Beckham rides his steed into the sunset as Prince Phillip (Sleeping Beauty).

UADDIT, a website dedicated to creating a “world of content submitted by anyone,” has published the entire series of photographs with the finalized captions for the actual ads where available. Check out their website to see all of the stunning portraits.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
