1. What is Jasmine doing in the club?

"In The Club Like" by Harry McNally hm-co.myshopify.com

2. Why are Lady Tremaine, Drizella, and Anastasia walking to the ball?

"Mean Girls" by Harry McNally hm-co.myshopify.com

They're there because that's where Harry McNally put them.

3. McNally is a photographer, and for his "Moments Like This" series he superimposes Disney characters (like Cinderella) on to 35mm photographs.

7. What kind of prescription could Snow White be taking?

"Excuse Me" by Harry McNally hm-co.myshopify.com

Maybe the poisoned apple left permanent damage.

8. Without a pumpkin coach, Cinderella is forced to take the subway.

9. How does he match up each character and photograph (like Ariel and this bedroom scene) so perfectly?

"Where Have You Been" by Harry McNally hm-co.myshopify.com

McNally played it coy and told BuzzFeed Life that "the ideas come to me in my sleep."

10. Although he's marvelous at creating these moments melding fantasy and reality, McNally said he has never been a huge Disney fan (sorry, Peter Pan).

"However, I grew up with two sisters, so I was exposed to a lot of these films. Sometimes unwillingly. I am seeing a therapist now."
