Top Fancy Dress Ideas - Movie Themes

By Fawn Savcedo

Do you need some fancy dress ideas? If you are going to a fancy dress party you'll need a costume or if you are planning on holding a fancy dress party you'll need a good theme. Well most of the best themes and costumes are based on movies, cartoons and story books.

Some of the most popular themes are movies and cartoons, especially Disney, as there are so many to choose between. Because of this there are lots of Disney costumes for both adults and children.

Some of the most popular Disney movies include Peter Pan, Shrek, Buzz Lightyear, Robin Hood, Little Red Riding Hood, and the classic Wizard of Oz. There are so many Disney movies that if you just think of your favourite you'll probably be able to get a costume.

Following the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies pirate costumes are extremely popular. You can get pirate costumes for girls and boys in all sorts of different styles, as well as specific character costumes, such as Captain Jack Sparrow. Pirate costumes are also fairly easy to create yourself with the help of a few accessories such as a sword, a parrot, a bandana, and an eye patch.

Another good fancy dress theme is the Moulin Rouge, which was made popular by the movie with Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor in it. Moulin Rouge costumes are all about showgirls, can-can, feathers and fishnets. They can be sexy and great fun to wear, and there are lots available to buy.

Other film based fancy dress themes include the classic movie The Wizard of Oz, as there is a whole cast of well-known characters on which to base a costume. The most obvious Wizard of Oz costume is of course Dorothy, but you can also get costumes for the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow, as well as the Wicked Witch of the West, Glinda the Good Witch, and the wizard himself. This is a fantastic theme as the costumes are so much fun and so recognisable.

Another very popular movie-based theme for fancy dress costumes is Star Wars. There are so many Star Wars costumes available that you can probably get one for every character from all the movies. This makes such a good theme as there is so much variation.

Another top theme is Super Heroes, which are featured in many movies based on well-known comic books. This is a popular theme for both adults and children, as again there are loads of different super hero fancy dress costumes available and everyone has a favourite. Some examples include Spiderman, Batman, Superman, Mr Incredible, Captain America, Iron Man, The Thing, Wonder Woman, Super Girl and Cat Woman.

There are hundreds of fancy dress ideas based on movie themes so perhaps the best way to think of one is to think of your favourite. It could be a movie, a cartoon or a story book but if it is a story you like you'll enjoy wearing the costume.
