Cruella de Vil Butterfly - EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival 2021

This vibrant pin features the iconic Disney villain Cruella de Vil from the 1961 classic 'One Hundred and One Dalmatians,' reimagined as a stylized butterfly. Released as part of the Beautiful Butterflies Mystery Set for the 2021 Walt Disney World EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, this design cleverly incorporates Cruella’s signature black, white, and red color palette into the insect's wings. The pin was released on March 3, 2021, and was available as a Limited Release, making it a sought-after piece for fans of the 'One Hundred and One Dalmatians' franchise and festival-exclusive merchandise. The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is a fan-favorite annual event at Walt Disney World that celebrates spring with elaborate topiary displays, and this butterfly series perfectly complements the garden theme. Collectors value this piece not only for its unique artistic interpretation of a classic villain but also for its status as a festival-specific collectible. The bold, high-contrast design makes it a standout piece in any display, especially for those who collect character-themed butterflies or villain-centric pins. Its status as a Limited Release means that while it was not strictly limited to a specific number, it was only available for a short window during the festival, adding to its appeal. This pin is a creative departure from standard character portrait pins, showcasing the versatility of Disney pin design.
