POTA Chimp Armour

I purchased this from Studio Props on eBay.  These are pieces of fiberglass Chimp armour from Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes.  These were created by Oscar-winning costume designer, Colleen Atwood.

Tim Burton: The Exhibition

MOMA's Tim Burton: The Exhibition is now in Toronto at the TIFF Lightbox.  I finally got the chance to go yesterday and it was amazing!

I don't think the gallery really had enough space to do the exhibit as much justice as MOMA but it was still wonderful to see so much of Tim's work in one place.  I loved that there were some very early samples of his work from childhood; some of which were accompanied by publisher's rejection letters!  I also really enjoyed seeing some props and costumes from his films.  I loved the Penguin's carriage from Batman Returns and the Edward Scissorhands costume was incredible!

Understandably, no photography was allowed inside the exhibit.  I wish I could have gotten some photos of the costumes at least.  Here are some photos I took outside.
Here are some screencaps from the TIFF website for archival purposes.
