The Three Caballeros - Mexico - EPCOT World Showcase

This vibrant Open Edition (OE) pin, released on March 28, 2020, at Walt Disney World, celebrates the Mexico Pavilion in EPCOT World Showcase with the beloved trio, The Three Caballeros. The pin features Donald Duck, José Carioca, and Panchito Pistoles, all wearing festive sombreros and traditional Mexican attire, standing on a colorful serape. In the background, the iconic pyramid of the Mexico Pavilion is visible, with a banner above proclaiming "MEXICO" and "EPCOT WORLD SHOWCASE" at the bottom. The Three Caballeros first appeared in the 1944 Walt Disney animated musical anthology film "The Three Caballeros," which premiered in Mexico City in December 1944 and in the United States in February 1945. The film was part of Disney's "Good Neighbor policy" towards Latin America during World War II. Today, these characters are famously featured in the "Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros" boat ride attraction inside the Mexico Pavilion at EPCOT, which opened in 2007, replacing "El Rio del Tiempo." This pin is a delightful collectible for fans of the film, the characters, and the unique cultural experiences offered at EPCOT's World Showcase. As an Open Edition, it was widely available upon release, making it accessible for many collectors to acquire.
