From clockwise top-left: the kid dressed as Rapunzel wrapping her dad dressed as Flynn in her hair and trying very hard to topple him, the kid dressed as Cinderella and her dad dressed as the prince showing off her glass slippers, the kid dressed as Snow White about to eat a poison apple and her dad dressed as the prince diving in to stop her, the kid dressed as Elsa zipping along a path of newly-summoned ice while her dad dressed as Kristof balancing precariously behind. Centre image: the kid dressed in a big t-shirt carried on the shoulders of her dad, dressed normally but for a pair of gauntlets and a cape. Caption: "You're my super hero."
