Newt plays the flute

This charming Open Edition pin features Newt, one of the iconic sea creatures from the musical ensemble in Disney's 1989 animated classic, The Little Mermaid. The pin depicts Newt joyfully playing his flute, captured in a dynamic pose against a light green circular background. It is part of The Little Mermaid Icons Booster Set, which was released in 2012 at both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World. The design style focuses on the whimsical characters that populate King Triton's underwater kingdom, specifically those featured in the 'Under the Sea' musical number. Collectors often prize pins from this booster set because they highlight secondary characters who are rarely featured on merchandise. The pin features a small Mickey icon pattern on the back, a hallmark of Disney Parks pins from this era. As an Open Edition release, this pin was designed to be accessible to fans, yet it remains a sought-after piece for those building a comprehensive collection of The Little Mermaid characters. Its vibrant colors and focus on a specific, recognizable moment from the film make it a delightful addition for fans of the movie's memorable soundtrack.
