No matter how you feel the show ended, you can't dispute that LOST kept television audiences captivated and intrigued for six seasons. To commemorate the groundbreaking series importance in TV history, Disney's D23 Expo had this amazing display of costumes and props from the pilot episode within the Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives exhibit on August 19, 2011.

DHARMA Initiative VW van from LOST...

Amongst the movie and television memorabilia at this year's Disney D23 Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center on August 19, 2011, was this distinctive VW van belonging to the DHARMA Initiative in the captivating TV show LOST.

This Volkswagen Type 2a bus (1968-1972) appeared as part of the motor pool that the DHARMA Initiative used to transport people and supplies around the mysterious island.

This is one of two remaining vans, in its original distressed condition, that exist in Disney's Archive Collection and was used during several seasons of LOST.

The front of the van sports the DHARMA main logo in place of the traditional Volkswagen emblem.

Cool costumes, models and props at Disney's D23 Expo..

If you're a Disney fan then you'll love the D23 Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center, but if you're a fan of original movie costumes, props and models, you may just love it a little bit more than the others attending.

The three day event which runs from August 19-21 is the second expo following the inaugural convention in 2009, but this time the Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives exhibit is even bigger and better, double the size of the original expo.

Probably the highlight for me was this fantastic costumes worn in the original Tron movie, which was displayed incredibly, the lighting really helping to show of the iconic sci-fi outfits.

The Disney exhibit also had several wonderful costumes worn by Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland 2010 live-action movie, some of which I'd not had the pleasure to see up close before.

If you're a fan, be sure to check out more of Colleen Atwood's Oscar-winning costume designs from Alice in Wonderland here at Hollywood Movie Costumes and Props.

Of course it wouldn't be a Disney event without some costumes from their successful Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise, and the expo not only had costumes and props from the latest film, On Stranger Tides, but also a wonderful display from Dead Man's Chest and At World's End.

To mark the 50th anniversary of the animated classic, 101 Dalmatians, they also recreated Cruella de Vil's office from the 1996 live-action movie version, which stood alongside two of the spectacular costumes that Glenn Close wore as the iconic villain in the movie and its sequel.

TV fans weren't disappointed either, as they had really impressive display of costumes and props from the pilot episode of the phenomenally successful television series LOST, plus the Dharma Initiative van. In addition you could exclusively see actual costumes from the late 50's TV version of Zorro.

LOST was a show chronicling the tales of the survivors of Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 plane crash on a mysterious island filled with black smoke monsters, Others, secret research projects and polar bears, amongst other incredible things.
By season five the cast of the show were split up and traveling through time, with some people, including James 'Sawyer' Ford (played by Josh Holloway) landing in the 1970's when the 'Dharma Initiative' were conducting their scientific experiments on the island.

During this time Sawyer, the ultimate con artist, took on the alias 'LaFleur' and the position of Head of Security to fit in with life on the island.

One of Sawyer's romantic interests, 'Kate Austen' (played by Evangeline Lilly), later arrived back on the island in the same time period and pretended to be a new Dharma Initiative recruit. She was assigned to the motor pool and wore this outfit in the show.
