4 Famous Funny Men Transform Into Iconic Disney Characters

It’s no secret that comedians Jack Black, Will Ferrell, Jason Segel and Russell Brand are characters.  But it was only recently that they became Disney characters for an artsy new ad campaign.

As part of the Disney Dream Portrait series shot by acclaimed photographer Annie Leibovitz, Black, Ferrell and Segel were made over into the three hitchhiking

ghosts from Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion attraction, while Brand was transformed into Captain Hook.

For a look behind the scenes and to find out how these famous funny men prepared for their photo shoots, check out my story below!

See Neverland Like You’ve Never Seen It Before!

threesixty° entertainment’s spectacular production of J.M. Barrie’s PETER PAN is wrapping up this week under the big top at  the Orange County Performing Arts Center, where it will close this Sunday, January 2, 2011.

I saw the show (fantastic!) and interviewed Captain Hook (actor Jonathan Hyde) himself!

Conceived by an award-winning creative team and featuring 23 actors, stunning puppets, epic music, dazzling flying sequences, and the world’s first 360-degree CGI theater set, PETER PAN is an extraordinary experience.

One of the most striking elements of this new production is the setting in which it is presented. The threesixty° Theatre, allows for performance “in the round” in a 1,300 seat theater-tent.

The entire interior of the tent is lit with more than 15,000 square feet of Hi-Resolution video — three times the size of Imax screens — so that both cast and audience are immersed in a CGI Neverland. When Peter and Wendy fly to Neverland, the audience flies with them over 400 square miles of virtual London and beyond.
