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.

And if that wasn't enough, here's a fantastic selection of props featured prominently in the fantasy movie.

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.

Gulliver's Travels
Something big is certainly going down: the general publics knowledge of the film they are seeing.
AKA: Golliver's Trip, Golivia's Travels, Big Jack Black, Gullipa.
Clientele: Generally groups of pre-pubescent boys waiting to spill their frozo on the seats and 'nice' families who thought they were in for a 'nice' olde time fable.
Main Players: Jack Black, Billy Connolly.
Worth Seeing?: Probably not unless you think the word 'titsvaginas' is funny.
The King's Speech
AKA The Kings Talk, The King and I, Speech of George, The King's Business, The President's Speech.
Clientele 92% of patrons are over 60 and arrive at least 45 minutes before the trailers start, then complain there is no seating while they wait. Most sessions have a parking bay for 'walkers' up the back. A large percentage complain about the price 'these days' but may treat themselves to a 'pop top' ice cream if walking from the car has made them hot.
Main Players Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter.
Worth seeing? Definitely, but a late night session is best to avoid any dementia ridden nannas recalling history the whole way through.
