squirt riding on crush

This charming Open Edition pin features the beloved sea turtle duo, Crush and his son Squirt, from Disney and Pixar's 2003 animated classic, Finding Nemo. The pin depicts the iconic scene of Squirt riding on his father's shell, capturing the laid-back, adventurous spirit of the East Australian Current travelers. It was released in 2009 as part of a four-pin booster collection, a popular format for collectors looking to acquire multiple character pins at once. The design utilizes vibrant enamel colors and clean gold-tone metal lines to highlight the turtles' distinct markings and friendly expressions. As an Open Edition pin, it was designed to be widely accessible to fans visiting Disney parks, making it a nostalgic piece for those who grew up with the film. The characters, Crush and Squirt, remain some of the most popular sidekicks in the Pixar universe due to their humorous dialogue and heartwarming father-son dynamic. Collectors often seek out this pin to complete their Finding Nemo sets or to add a touch of the Great Barrier Reef to their collections. Because it was part of a booster set, it is a quintessential example of early 2000s park merchandise style. It serves as a great entry-level piece for new collectors or a fun addition for seasoned fans of the film.
