Following the release of
Tim Burton's live-action
Alice in Wonderland in 2010 I've been fortunate to see a variety of original costumes and props from the
Disney movie in person, but never so many in one place and so openly on display as at the
Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives exhibit.
Actual costumes and props featured in Alice in Wonderland
Whether it be at the
El Capitan Theatre in
Hollywood, the
D23 Expo in
Anaheim or at the new exhibition at
The Reagan Library & Museum in
Simi Valley on July 17, 2012, the
Disney outfits and props are always presented impeccably. On this occasion they've even tried to recreate the
Mad Hatter's tea party to make
Colleen Atwood's Oscar-winning costumes even more memorable.
Original Alice in Wonderland battle costumes
worn by Mia Wasikowska and Johnny Depp
Included in the display were
Alice's White Knight armour and the
Mad Hatter's battle costume, which you can see in more detail here at
Hollywood Movie Costumes and Props.

They also had the dress
Mia Wasikowska wears as the nineteen year old
'Alice' when she first disappears down the rabbit hole to the magic realm of
Wonderland.

If you like this costume, be sure to check out two other
dresses she wears in Alice in Wonderland, including her
'Um' dress from the
Red Queen's court and the outfit the
Mad Hatter whips up to her after she shrinks out of her other dress.
Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter costume from Alice in Wonderland
Meanwhile here's another of the eccentric
'Mad Hatter' costumes that
Johnny Depp wears in this big screen re-imagining of
Lewis Carroll's literary classic, standing beside his chair from his tea party. It's been a favourite costume choice at
West Hollywood's Halloween Carnaval festivities in recent years.

In addition to the
Vorpal Sword (and its ornate case) which
Alice uses to slay the Jabberwocky and the
Oraculum Scroll which was drawn by artist and conceptual designer
Dermot Power, the display case also held the
Red Queen's sceptre and eye-glasses, a
'Drink Me' bottle, an
'Eat Me' cake box, skeleton keys in three sizes and even a miniature hall table from the film.
If you're a fan of the movie, be sure to check out these other
original props from Disney's Alice in Wonderland on display.
