Included in the collection of movie props were Blackbeard's ship's in bottles (which featured real miniaturized ships like the Black Pearl in the film by the wonder of CGI), crewman Scrum's mandolin, Angelica's weapons and even the Fountain of Youth chalices.

Black Pearl miniature ship from Pirates of the Caribbean...

Possibly the most spectacular exhibit at the Disney D23 Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center on August 19, 2011, was this scale miniature of the Black Pearl pirate galleon from Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

How could you not be impressed by this 'miniature' of Captain Jack Sparrow's fabled ship which greeted visitors at the ground floor entrance of the Disney fan expo.


At 23-feet in length, the incredibly detailed and accurate ship model apparently takes six hours to properly rig all the cordage, spars and sails.

Comprised of pieces used in the original Black Pearl ship miniature from the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie installment, this version was reconstructed for the second and third movies. This model was used to help create the epic special effects in the incredibly popular film franchise starring Johnny Depp as the ship's captain.

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.

In the lower convention halls you be greeted by this spectacular Black Pearl miniature pirate ship from the second and third Pirates of the Caribbean movies, then upstairs you can enjoy the 12,000-square-foot costume and prop exhibit.

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.

Original costumes from LOST on display

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.

There was so much nostalgic movie memorabilia that it brought back many long forgotten and cherished memories, from films like The Rocketeer and even Hocus Pocus.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives and thought it was filled with loads of great movie magic and beautifully presented.
