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.

Cruella De Vil's office set from 101 Dalmatians

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.
