Disney Channel Asia on Monday officially released the posters of Sarah Geronimo and Kim Chiu dressed up as Rapunzel and Mulan, respectively.

The release of the official posters marks the end of Disney’s “12 Days of Princess” campaign. The 12 princess characters will be included in a still-unannounced project in Southeast Asia.
