Lanyard Series 3 - Finding Nemo - Gill

This pin features Gill, the battle-scarred Moorish Idol fish and leader of the Tank Gang from the 2003 Disney-Pixar film Finding Nemo. It is part of the Lanyard Series 3 collection, which was released at Disneyland Resort starting in 2005. The design depicts Gill inside a clear plastic bag filled with water, a nod to the iconic escape plan sequence where the fish successfully flee the dentist's office. As an Open Edition pin, it was originally distributed as a Cast Member lanyard trade pin, making it a classic piece of Disney pin trading history. The pin features a small Mickey icon near the bottom right, which is a signature element of these lanyard-exclusive series. Gill remains a highly popular character among collectors for his stoic personality and role as the mentor to Nemo. Because these pins were primarily obtained through trading with Disney Cast Members, finding them in pristine condition can be a rewarding challenge for completionists. The clean, circular design makes it a versatile addition to any Pixar-themed collection or Finding Nemo display. Its status as an Open Edition release means it served as an entry point for many new collectors during the mid-2000s golden era of pin trading.
