Flounder Emoji - Squinting with Tongue Out

This charming pin features Flounder, the beloved tropical fish sidekick from Disney's 1989 animated classic 'The Little Mermaid', depicted in a stylized emoji design. Captured with a playful expression, Flounder is shown squinting his eyes with his tongue sticking out, perfectly embodying his loyal and sometimes nervous personality. This piece is part of the Disneyland Paris Emoji Collection, which launched in 2018 to capitalize on the global popularity of digital emoji iconography. As an Open Edition (OE) pin, it was designed to be accessible to guests visiting Disneyland Paris, making it a fantastic entry point for newer collectors or those specifically building a 'The Little Mermaid' character collection. The pin features bold, vibrant enamel fills—specifically the bright yellow and blue hues associated with Flounder—outlined in a polished silver-tone metal. While it lacks complex mechanics like a slider or spinner, its clean, modern aesthetic makes it a standout piece for display boards. Flounder remains one of the most popular sidekicks in the Disney canon, ensuring consistent demand for high-quality character pins like this one. Collectors often seek out these emoji-style pins to create themed sets that contrast with more traditional or portrait-style character pins.
