I'm finally sorting through the many pictures I took at the
D23 Expo earlier this month. These are the shots I took with my good camera (Nikon D3100). I hope you've already seen the
Facebook pics I posted previously. It was quite a weekend.
Below are pics from Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives, a collection of historic items from Disney's glorious attic. This year's exhibit was smaller than 2011's, but still a nice assortment of items from
Mary Poppins,
Oz the Great and Powerful,
Once Upon a Time and
Teen Beach Movie (no, really).
 |
In the queue area was a collection of designer gowns inspired by the Disney
princesses. They were originally on display last year at Harrods in London. |
 |
| A closer look at Pocahontas, Jasmine and Mulan. |
 |
| Costumes from Disney Channel's Teen Beach Movie. |
 |
| Costumes from ABC's Once Upon a Time. |
 |
| Props from Once Upon a Time. |
 |
In the late 1950s, Disney started pre-production on The Rainbow Road to Oz. It was
meant to be a live-action movie musical based on L. Frank Baum's stories
starring the Mousketeers. The film never came to pass, but much of the concept art,
story treatments and scripts still exist. |
 |
In 1985, Disney released Return to Oz, a live-action fantasy starring Fairuza Balk
as Dorothy. These are some of the props used in the movie, including Dorothy's
ruby slippers. |

| The mechanical man Tik Tok from Return to Oz. |

Even the sweetest Disney character can look creepy
in the right light. China Doll model from Oz the Great and Powerful. |

Disney's Mary Poppins will mark its 50th birthday next year.
This is pre-production concept art from the film. |
 |
| Mary Poppins storyboards. |
 |
| World Premiere banner from Grauman's Chinese Theatre. |
 |
Assorted Mary Poppins items including the original vinyl soundtrack and
subsequent gold record and Grammy. |
 |
Some nursery items from Mary Poppins including toy blocks and the
St. Paul's cathedral snow globe. |
 |
| Bert and Mary's merry-go-round horses. |
 |
| Practically perfect in every way. |

One of my all-time favorite Disney publicity shots. (l. to r.) Richard Sherman,
Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke and Robert Sherman. |
