TV and movie costumes on display from the Walt Disney Archives...

At the very end of 2011, I was fortunate to pop onto the Disney Studio lot in Burbank, California to check out the latest costumes on display from the Walt Disney Archives.

Original TV and movie treasures from the Walt Disney Archives

Included in the exhibit in the lobby of the Frank G. Wells building on December 30, were outfits featured in popular ABC television shows and Disney films.

The reflection of the sun on the cases doesn't always make it possible to get great images of the displays, so you can also check out these costumes and props from Disney's Secretariat on display at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood and at ArcLight Sherman Oaks cinema.

Costumes worn by John Malkovich and Diane Lane in Secretariat

I've previously seen some of the other costumes on display at Disney's D23 Expo, but it was nice to get a closer look at them again, plus see some new additions I'd never glimpsed before in person.

Stay tuned in the days to come for more photos of these costumes, including:

Mia Wasikowska's White Knight battle armour from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland
Betty White's Grandma Bunny wedding outfit from You Again
Bootstrap Bill costume worn by Stellan Skarsgard in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Dress worn by Sally Field as Nora Walker in ABC's family drama series Brothers & Sisters
Glenn Close's Cruella de Vil dragon dress costume from the live-action 102 Dalmatians

If you're a die-hard Disney fan you won't want to miss them.

If you're a fan of the Disney Pixar animated feature films Cars and Cars 2, then you'll love these life-size replicas of two of the popular stars of the movies, 'Lightning McQueen' and 'Mater'.

These fun Cars characters were photographed on display outside Disney's D23 Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center on August 19, 2011.

I believe these replicas of the animated characters were used to promote the 2011 movie sequel, as race car Lightning McQueen is sporting the World Grand Prix stickers that takes place in the second movie.

If you like this pirate costume, you should also check out the outfit worn by Geoffrey Rush as his arch-enemy Captain Hector Barbossa in the fourth movie.

The final costume on display on the Expo floor was that of Blackbeard's daughter, 'Angelica', played by Penelope Cruz in the film.

In addition to these fantastic looking outfits, there were also original props from the movie which helped bring the cut-throat world of the Pirates of the Caribbean to life.

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.

Also up for auction at the Expo was this fantastic 3D skull standee for the fourth movie, which looked pretty cool.
