Ariel - Quotes By A Princess - I Am Not Fishing For A Compliment!

This charming pin features Ariel from Disney’s 1989 animated classic, The Little Mermaid, captured in a playful, close-up portrait. Part of the popular 'Quotes By A Princess' Hidden Mickey series released at Disneyland Resort in 2007, the design includes a speech bubble containing the witty, character-appropriate phrase: 'I am not fishing for a compliment!' As an Open Edition release, this pin was originally distributed as a Hidden Mickey series pin, often found on Cast Member lanyards throughout the park. The pin showcases a stylized, graphic art approach that highlights Ariel's iconic red hair and curious expression. Because it is part of a beloved princess-themed series, it remains a staple for character collectors who focus on Ariel or quote-based designs. The pin serves as a humorous nod to Ariel's transition from the ocean to land and her often-naive perspective on human customs. Its simple, bold aesthetic makes it a recognizable piece within the extensive Hidden Mickey pin collections of the late 2000s. Collectors appreciate this pin for its clever writing and its role in the broader 'Quotes By A Princess' set, which remains a nostalgic favorite. The back of the pin typically features the standard Disney pin trading backstamp, confirming its origin at the Disneyland Resort.
