Last year, Beyonce posed in whirling teacups for Disney, and this year, it's Gisele.
The blonde Brazilian was cast by Annie Leibovitz to star in the latest Disney World ads - she'll be Wendy from Peter Pan.
The move marks another coup for Gisele, whose Victoria's Secret contract wasn't renewed last year, but instead got replaced with work for Cacharel and Yves Saint Laurent.
We know the Disney ads pay a huge sum, but we're also a bit intrigued by the casting, as in high school, we were delicately informed that Peter Pan is nothing but a perverse fantasy about repressed sexual desires and wish fulfillment.
Making Gisele into Wendy Darling - not even Tinkerbell! Wendy! - should provide some confusing dreams for every 10-year-old in America.
Meanwhile, it's made us question every Disney fixture in very inappropriate ways... Mister Toad's Wild Ride? Eeeew!

At first I thought it was Tinkerbelle and I thought it was unusual but can be accepted in a way. But then I learned that it’s Wendy! I just can’t accept the fact! It’s absurd and inappropriate. I mean Wendy and Gisele just don’t link together. Having Gisele playing Wendy will totally ruined the story! I mean it. Someone should tell Gisele not to do this.
