“Everyone is beautiful, no matter whom they were born as.” This is the essential message of ‘Down With Disney’ campaign of Nicole Louise Perkins. This campaign aims to honor children with Down Syndrome and dispel damaging misconceptions about the syndrome that people hear.
It's that not all Disney characters are instantly loved. Some Disney characters are sometimes shunned because of their differences such as Tarzan, Elsa, Hercules, and Mulan. But, if they are given a chance and people come to know who they are, they will change the world for the better! So, for this year’s ad, she came up with the idea of photographing kids with Down syndrome dressed as some of Disney’s most popular characters! This special series went viral, touching the hearts of millions of people all over the world.
In the gallery below, you can see more images from the Down with Disney initiative. These photographs will provide you with the dosage of positive energy you require today!
