Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens Meet ‘Once Upon A Dream’
Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens will be portraying Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip from the Disney classic Sleeping Beauty in a new portrait from famed photographer Annie Leibovitz.
JJJ saw the gorgeous photo last month and you won’t be disappointed! There’s no liplock… but it certainly comes super close. Hubba hubba hubba!
To make the picture even better, though, we think Disney should have added in the three Sleeping Beauty fairies Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather.
And they should have cast Ashley Tisdale, Monique Coleman and Olesya Rulin!
Stay tuned, we’ll have even more info on this shoot soon!

love vanessa’s voice and zac’s eyes! go zaness!
xoxo
I’m sure the picture will be fab.
#45- Alice in Wonderland wasn’t black but they chose Beyonce and she looked great. They certainly didn’t just change it for these two so get your facts straight. I don’t think Whoopi Goldberg looked anything like the blue genie in Aladdin, but that’s what she portrayed.
Thank you Kristy. I look more like Pokahantas than Jessica Biel so it wasn’t just for them.
For those of you who are whining about the fact that Aurora was blonde.So what,J lo did Jasmine and her hair was blondish and not black. I think Miley Cyrus did some kind of photo shoot where she was Snow white and she had brown hair not black. I always imagined zac and vanessa being Auror and prince Philip, just by looking at the blurred picture you can see it is going to look incredible.
I think something important needs to be said here:
These images of Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty etc.were created in the 1940’s and 1950’s were there would have been no choice but to make them all caucasian and and in many cases but not in all cases blonde
Sleeping Beauty is white with blonde hair and blue eyes because that was the only acceptable image at the time. They could have given her brown hair like Cinderella but basically it would have been the same image.
I think Disney is saying they are no longer held captive by the racial mores of the original time and if these images had been created now maybe they would look like Vanessa, or Beyonce maybe an asian actress. It’s time to open your mind and realize in many ways the original character images depict the racial and social mores of their original era.
Your inage of Sleeping Beauty was the only one acceptable at the time she was created-open your mind.
I can’t wait to see the pics of Zanessa,.
omg can’tttttttttt waitttt …
peyton grow up you sound like a child. All the portrayls so far have not been anything like the originals, and that’s the whole point. Get your facts straight before you post.
oh yeah when they chose vanessa to be Princess Aurora They were not plains ofcourse they know that Aurora has ablond hair and vanessa has a cute black one , but it doesn’t have to when you pick someone to playd character that he’s gone have to have all the Connatural Formes , it’s in the end just a disney cartoon , and by the way that Princess have to be happy cus vanessa is gonne take her plce , i think she dose with a big smile in her face. Lol
i love you vanessa i relly do and i hop all the gr8 things for you .
peace out
OMG I WANNA SEE IT SOO BAD!
I hope JJJ gets the pix soon, it’ll be so cute. Can’t wait.
Hello:
Why is my comment awaiting moderation there was nothing bad in it.
Aw..that’s going to be the headline for me. Aha, I already think of them as a princess and a prince !!
Can’t wait to see the pics !! ♥
Thatd be so cute!
Can’t wait to see it ♥
GO ZANESSA!
omggg yeeeeeeeees :D:D:D
zac and ash would make a better aurora and phillip
zanessa are probably doing it either because of hsm or them being together in real life
omg! i cant wait to see the pics AHHHH!!!!!
someone plz tell me when its release date is!!!!
Peyton- Ashley’s a brunette too, so would she do any better than Vanessa? What a stupid comment, considering she and Zac have absolutely ZERO chemistry.
aww so cute!
ashley as the fairy LMAO
zanessa rocks:)
i found it!! it is amazing
http://www.stitchkingdom.com/2009/03/06/zac-efron-and-vanessa-hudgens-as-philip-and-aurora-in-sleeping-beauty-by-annie-liebovitz-photo/
i wanted zanessa to be aladdin and jazmin too..
Just saw the picture, Golly it is the most amazing photo I have ever seen. It really brings out their characters in this photoshoot and it also reflects their relationship showing how patient Zac and Vanessa are through it all.The photoshoot really captured their personalities, I think it’s hands down GREAT!!! from all the other ones.
Just saw the picture of Zac and Vanessa, Thank You # 73 you’re the best!!!, in my opinion the photographer totally captured both their personalities and their inner beings and expressed them to the upmost level, people will be very pleased at the job that she did. Oh and by the way, it’s not about ethnic anymore these days, I’m pretty sure with all the multi cultures that exist today it shouldn’t matter, the picutre is AWESOME!!!!!
AWWW I CANT WAIT
HERES THE LINK TO THE PIC!

They have the picture on VanAshBreNique
http://www.stitchkingdom.com/2009/03/06/zac-efron-and-vanessa-hudgens-as-philip-and-aurora-in-sleeping-beauty-by-annie-liebovitz-photo/ it is the pic
seriously Peyton you are pathetic. Ashley is a natural brunette. And yes for your information, they were chosen because they are a real couple, like J-Lo and Anthony, etc were before them.
It is a beautiful and romantic shot of them, a stunning take on a classic. It is so intimate and ethereal. Zac looks like he is in a slumber after awakening his princess. Their chemistry and love just pours out of the photo. Amazing.
omfg it’s so sensual, just the way he is next to her, kssing her cheek, is screams love and intimacy. Beautiful.
wow Zac looks so different but so good and V, well stunning is all I will say. They have done an amazing job, and to be picked by Annie is a tremendous honour. Such a wonderful picture.
Gahhh dies…it’s so dreamy and just wow. His blush cheeks and shadow against her fair skin, so so beautiful. They are perfect. What an amazing pic. I love how Annie put her own spin on the whole scene, that’s the mark of a true artist right there and then to ZV to interpret it with their love and chemistry is beautiful. Wow.
it’s like an oil painting. It’s beautiful.
saw it. they are hot!
I can’t wait to see the photoshoot!

Well Serena, if you knew anything about photography you would know what a huge deal Annie is. So I suggest you do move on.
Why would they pick those two to portray prince phillip and Aurora ?
Come on Sleeping beauty has blode hair! I can see why they would have Zac as the prince but not Vanessa. I don’t even think he looks that great with his hair slicked back. If your gonna slick your hair back cut it! it’s too long in the back. I wonder what he would look like with a real short haircut? I liked the way he used to do his hair. Now, if it’s not slicked back it longish and greasy looking.
Anyways I would still like to see Zanessa’s picture!
#79 and #81, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH, I LOVE YOU !!
…Omg, Zachary is absolutely gorgeous !! And Vanessa really does look like a princess
Perfect!!!!
Dream…it’s not meant to be he conventional sleeping beauty, it’s Annie’s take on it. It’s stunning.

zanessa is the best couple in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG i just can’t wait to see!!!!!!!
Zanessa rock` ;D
so cute!!!
#57–gracemarie:
You are absolutely right. It is not written in stone that Sleeping Beauty has to be a blond. It doesn’t mean we can’t accept this beautiful picture just because Vanessa is not a blond. It just goes to show how rigid and inflexible people can be and how they have trouble thinking “outside the box”.
cute!!!! cant wait to see it!! they are always lovey-dovey!! =)
zanessa forever…best couple ever!!
love u guys!!!
Who says that Aurora has to be a blonde? She could be african american, latino or asian, pacific asian or plain ethnic, so what! It is all about perception. And Zac and Vanessa do make the best couple yet. Words can’t begin to describe this picture. Just love it. I want more,more,more.
when does it come out? i wanna see it!!
Found the pic
http://www.zefron.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=557&pos=0
looks soooo goood.
Zac and Vanessa looks amazing the pic.
Thank you Karen I think the whole point is that Aurora and Phillip are beautiful and fall in love. That sounds like Z&V to me
ah i cant wait to see! im so excited!
zac is my prince :]
THE PICTURE IS SOOOOOOOOO GOOD!
I LOVED IT; ZANESSA ROCKSSSSS
Beautiful…just beautiful
Zac looks okay in the photo but Vanessa…WOW…if i didn’t know I would ve thought that was a picture of a Vanessa wax figure. She looks SO BEAUTIFUL that she doesn’t even look lifelike.
guys i think i found the photo, is it this one?
