Original 1982 Tron movie costumes on display...

I may have been fortunate enough to see these classic Tron costumes from Disney's 1982 sci-fi cult favourite at the D23 Expo in Anaheim last year, but it was still a thrill to see them up close again under different lighting conditions at the Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives exhibition on July 17, 2012.

Elois Jenssen and Rosanna Norton were nominated for an Oscar for these now iconic looking costume designs.

If you like his outfit from the original movie, be sure to also check out Jeff Bridges costume from Tron: Legacy, the 2010 sequel.

Next, the mannequin holding the Identity Disc is the outfit worn by the Program 'Ram' played by Dan Shor.

And then there's the costume for our titular hero, 'Tron', played by Bruce Boxleitner.

These skin-tight outfits look so simplistic now, but at the time with the cutting-edge special effects in the early 80's they looked so futuristic and super sci-fi when I was a kid.

Standing beside Tron is the costume worn by the female Program and his love interest 'Yuri' played by Cindy Morgan in the film.

If you did want to replicate this look, you'd have to keep in mind that this Yuri costume is missing a belt.

If you like these original outfits, be sure to check out the sexy Tron: Legacy Light-suits from the sequel that updated these classic costumes for a new generation.

Original costumes and props from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland on display...

Following the release of Tim Burton's live-action Alice in Wonderland in 2010 I've been fortunate to see a variety of original costumes and props from the Disney movie in person, but never so many in one place and so openly on display as at the Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives exhibit.

Actual costumes and props featured in Alice in Wonderland

Whether it be at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, the D23 Expo in Anaheim or at the new exhibition at The Reagan Library & Museum in Simi Valley on July 17, 2012, the Disney outfits and props are always presented impeccably. On this occasion they've even tried to recreate the Mad Hatter's tea party to make Colleen Atwood's Oscar-winning costumes even more memorable.

Meanwhile here's another of the eccentric 'Mad Hatter' costumes that Johnny Depp wears in this big screen re-imagining of Lewis Carroll's literary classic, standing beside his chair from his tea party.
