Ortensia Flowers

This charming two-pin set released in 2015 features the iconic duo of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and his girlfriend, Ortensia the Cat. Originally created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks in 1927, Oswald is a foundational character in animation history, and this set celebrates his romantic partnership with Ortensia. The pins depict the pair surrounded by floral elements, capturing their vintage aesthetic that resonates deeply with animation historians and collectors alike. As an Open Edition (OE) release from Walt Disney World, this set provides an accessible entry point for fans of classic Disney cartoons. Despite being an Open Edition (OE) pin, the popularity of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit as a legacy character ensures that these pins remain highly sought after by those building character-specific collections. The two-pin format allows collectors to display the couple together or separately, adding versatility to pin boards. The design style reflects the 1920s rubber-hose animation technique, which remains a favorite among Disney enthusiasts. Because these were sold at Walt Disney World, they serve as a wonderful memento of the park's commitment to honoring the early years of the Walt Disney Company. This set is a must-have for anyone who appreciates the origins of Disney animation and the enduring charm of Oswald and Ortensia.
