Disney4me Posted December 10, 2021 Report Posted December 10, 2021 There’s a super cool new Disney Archives exhibit and we’re taking a look inside! All That Glitters The Bowers Museum, an art museum in Santa Ana California, is hosting a new Disney Exhibition — All That Glitters: The Crown Jewels of the Walt Disney Archives. We were invited to the media preview of the exhibit and we’re taking you with us! All That Glitters opens at the Bowers Museum on December 12th and will let visitors see jewelry and accessories from Disney and 20th Century Studios films like Titanic, The Princess Diaries, and more! Bowers Museum The exhibit has three main sections — Jewelry Informs Characters, which explains what wearable accessories tell viewers about characters; Feature Vault, which offers a look at the most prized jewelry and accessories; and Reflections on Reality with displays that tie accessories back to the Disney films and parks. The Exhibit Let’s take a look at some of the exhibits! All That Glitters First up, take a look at this intricate Jewelry Box from The Little Mermaid Live! All That Glitters Fans of the live-action 101 Dalmations film will appreciate seeing trinkets worn by Glenn Closes’ Cruella De Vil! All That Glitters We stared at the Cinderella Slipper for some time. All That Glitters Look at those beautiful colors! All That Glitters Props from The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe are especially enchanting. The White Witch’s crowns look super regal! All That Glitters There’s a whole case dedicated to Tia Dalma from the Pirates of the Caribbean films… All That Glitters …including her locket… All That Glitters …and the stunt version of it as well. All That Glitters Check out the Tracy Radio Watches! All That Glitters The case features some props that were used in the films and even a prototype. All That Glitters The exhibit isn’t just little things either. You can also see some full costumes such as Genie from Aladdin… All That Glitters …Queen Ingrith from Maleficent: Mistress of Evil… All That Glitters …Mulan from Mulan… All That Glitters …and more! All That Glitters It was especially cool seeing the Freddy Mercury costume from Bohemian Rhapsody. All That Glitters There are even a few non-film items like this World Series Ring from the Anaheim Angels. All That Glitters Disneyland’s 50th Anniversary featured a brooch set that was worn by the park princesses. All That Glitters When Pollyanna was released, they also sold promotional merchandise versions of her locket. All That Glitters How historic! All That Glitters And don’t worry superhero fans! There’s a TON of Marvel exhibits as well! All That Glitters You can spot Black Panther’s necklace… All That Glitters …and Doctor Strange’s Eye of Agamotto Necklace. All That Glitters A few cases are FULL of crowns. It wouldn’t be Disney without some royal representation. All That Glitters We especially liked seeing Loki’s headpiece. All That Glitters And the Muppets Spork Crown from Muppets Most Wanted! All That Glitters Perhaps some of the most iconic pieces in the room were necklaces like the Medallion Necklace from the Pirates of the Caribbean… All That Glitters …or Chewbacca’s Medal of Valor from Star Wars! All That Glitters Not to mention the Heart of the Ocean Necklace worn by Kate Winslet in Titanic! All That Glitters Perhaps our favorite part of the exhibit, though, was the Every Little Detail wall. This case features SO many little items worn by so many different people in films. We could’ve stood here and admired the pieces for a WHILE. All That Glitters Some of our favorites in this case include Wanda Maximoff’s rings from Marvel films… All That Glitters …the Queen of Hearts’ rings from Alice in Wonderland... All That Glitters …Jack Sparrow’s rings from Pirates of the Caribbean… All That Glitters …a Brooch from The Haunted Mansion… All That Glitters …and the Candy Ring from Deadpool.
