Djali - The Hunchback of Notre Dame - Cast Lanyard Series 2 Pets of Stars

This charming pin features Djali, the spirited and intelligent goat companion to Esmeralda from Disney's 1996 animated classic, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Released in 2003 as part of the Walt Disney World Cast Lanyard Series 2, this pin highlights the 'Pets of Stars' collection, a beloved series that paired iconic animated characters with their loyal animal sidekicks. The design showcases Djali centered on a shield-shaped background featuring a striking red and purple diamond pattern, with his name 'Djali' clearly lettered to the right. As an Open Edition pin, it was originally distributed to Cast Members at Walt Disney World to be used for pin trading with guests in the parks. Djali is widely recognized by fans for his sassy personality and his uncanny ability to discern the true intentions of those around him. The shield-shaped heraldic design gives the pin a classic, regal feel that complements the medieval setting of the film. Because this pin was part of a Cast Lanyard series, it was never available for direct retail purchase, making it a staple for traders looking to complete their Pets of Stars set. Collectors value this piece for its nostalgic connection to the 1990s Disney Renaissance era and the unique opportunity to acquire a character-focused sidekick pin.
