Wow some people are idiots. First off, this is Annie we are talking about, she defies expectation and does her own her, hence her greatness. Second of all, Aurora has been essentially ‘dead’ for 100 years, of course her skin is white, there is no life in her. Phillip’s face in contrast is warm, he is giving her his life through his kiss. This pic captures the moment after the kiss. It’s based more on the ballet of SB more than the Disney version. In the ballet, he kisses her, but she does not wake, she keeps her eyes closed. Thinking that he has been unsucessful, Phillip gently kisses her cheek, remembering her smelll, as he does this, Aurora wakes up. This is that moment. I would also like to point out, that Disney were not the almighty when it comes to SB. The original tale told of rape and torture and all things in between. Disney prettied it up. So therefore Aurora did not have blonde hair, that’s just an interpretation of it. This pic was taken for adult fans of Disney, the magazine it features in is bought under a heafty price or a subscription. It’s arty and airy and perfect. The best shoot of the whole collection. (Even though this shoot is part of the D23, a new series of shots).

This pic, and I’m sure the outtakes, are pure art. Annie has done a beauiful job, and the result is breathtaking. Not least because of the subjects, who just let their love and natural ease breathe in the picture. They are a stunning and amazing couple, paired with a legend. Pure genius.

They completely whitened her skin. What is up with that?

The great about Annie is that she defies the normal…Whoopi was an african american jeanie..that isn’t normal either, so why would the princess need to have blond hair. it is art, so for the people who are stereotypically believing the princess should be blond like the movie, you obviously don’t understand art, and the way Annie portrays hers. It is absolutely stunning, and her subjects have everything to do with it.

There were several Prince Charmings, it’s possible Becks, could’ve been one of them.

I agree with Roxster’s post, I think they should have done Beauty and the Beast, it hasn’t been covered yet, has it?

Zac looks ridiculous. And dirty. What the hell? And why is Aurora not blonde? Plus, is it me, or does she somehow resemble Rose McGowan? Vanessa doesn’t quite look like herself.

While the photo is very beautiful, and I love everything Leibovitz’s photographs. This portrayal is my least favorite out of the whole campaign. I don’t think these two disney starlets do it justice…

this makes me mad. they so should not be sleeping beauty, that is like my favorite animated disney movie (classic), and vanessa does not fit aurora’s description!

Oh God, she is so irritating to me.

I love this campaign, but Zac looks like he is doing his best Edward Cullen impression and is really trying to restrain himself from sucking her blood. Also, I couldn’t figure out what was off about this pic as sleeping beauty until I saw your comment Kelly, thats so true. This is more like just a picture of a prince and princess. She has dark hair, they should have gone with beauty and the beast and he just could have been the beast post transformation.

I don’t think it matters that she’s not blonde, they’re a cute couple and it’s a beautiful pic, not cheesy in my opinion. Plus I don’t think Aladdin and jazmin were puerto rican or the genie was black, but that photo still worked.

I think the photo is breath taking I would love to see all of them !!

This picture reminds me of the Entertainment Weekly pictures for Twilight with Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart…. so I’m biased.

Yeah she should’ve been Snow White. But that dress is definitely Sleeping Beauty’s.

It actually looks like Snow White…doesn’t he have to wake her up after she eats the poison apple?
