Marie - Boba Bubble Tea - The Aristocats

The "Marie - Boba Bubble Tea" pin is a charming Open Edition (OE) release from the popular Character Boba Tea Collection, featuring the iconic white kitten Marie from Disney's 1970 animated classic, *The Aristocats*. This particular version of the pin was released at Disneyland Resort (DLR) and Walt Disney World (WDW) in April 2024, captivating collectors with its whimsical design. Marie, known for her prim and proper yet sassy demeanor, is depicted adorably emerging from a boba bubble tea cup, complete with pink tapioca pearls and a straw. The Character Boba Tea Collection itself is an appealing series that reimagines beloved Disney characters with the popular beverage theme. The US parks release in 2024 included Marie, Dumbo, and Winnie the Pooh. Notably, an earlier version of this Marie pin, along with other characters like Donald Duck and Judy Hopps, was released in January 2021 at Shanghai Disney Resort (SHDR) as part of a larger five-pin set. Collectors value this pin not only for its cute aesthetic and the enduring popularity of Marie, but also as a delightful representation within a contemporary and trending theme like boba tea. The pin's design, with its vibrant pink accents and Marie's sweet expression, makes it a desirable piece for fans of *The Aristocats* and Disney food-themed pin collectors alike. Its Open Edition status makes it generally more accessible than Limited Edition (LE) pins, but its popularity can still lead to it being a sought-after item.
