Pinocchio's Hat - Character Hats Mystery Set

This enchanting Open Edition (OE) pin features the instantly recognizable hat of Pinocchio, the beloved character from Walt Disney's classic 1940 animated film, *Pinocchio*. The pin depicts Pinocchio's iconic bright yellow Tyrolean-style hat, adorned with a light blue band and a vibrant pink feather, mirroring his signature look from the movie. *Pinocchio*, based on Carlo Collodi's 1883 Italian children's novel, was Disney's second full-length animated feature, released on February 7, 1940, and is celebrated for its groundbreaking animation and timeless story about a wooden puppet's journey to become a real boy. This particular pin was released on March 8, 2012, as part of the "Character Hats Mystery Set," a popular collection available at both Disneyland Resort (DLR) and Walt Disney World (WDW). The "Character Hats Mystery Set" originally consisted of sixteen (16) different pins, sold in blind packs, encouraging collectors to trade and search for their favorites to complete the series. Pinocchio's hat is a cherished symbol of innocence and adventure, making this Open Edition (OE) pin a delightful addition for fans of the character, animation history enthusiasts, and those looking to complete the full "Character Hats Mystery Set." The film also famously introduced the Academy Award-winning song "When You Wish Upon a Star," which has since become an anthem for The Walt Disney Company.
