"The Sword in the Stone"

Tennis ace Roger Federer, who has been the number one ranked men's tennis player in the world for four consecutive years, portrays King Arthur and pulls a sword from the anvil that holds a magical grip upon it in a new image created by photographer Annie Leibovitz. The gallant scene is reminiscent of Disney's animated film "The Sword in the Stone", in which a young King Arthur follows the wizardly teachings of Merlin. The regal image is one of three unveiled by Leibovitz to celebrate Disney Parks' "Year of a Million Dreams". Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida commissioned Leibovitz to create images featuring international celebrities in fairy tale settings.
