Costumes from the original Tron on display...

In Steven Lisberger's original 1982 sci-fi movie Tron, Jeff Bridges hacker 'Kevin Flynn' is literally zapped into the world of a computer and forced to battle in gladiatorial games and team up with the heroic security program 'Tron' to stop the nefarious schemes of the Master Control Program.

Eloise Jensson and Rosanna Norton were responsible for creating the distinctive look of the costumes in Tron, which have become such iconic cult classics since their debut almost 30 years ago.

First up is the costume worn by Dan Shor as the Program 'Ram', who escapes with Flynn and Tron in the movie. His costume appears to be missing a belt, but he's holding his frisbee-like Identity Disc, so you can't complain.

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.

Disney's D23 Expo

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.

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.

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.

Be sure to stay tuned in the coming days for even more detailed photos of costumes, props, vehicles and models photographed on display at Disney's D23 Expo on August 19, 2011 including:

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