The Aristocats 55th Anniversary Pin

This enchanting Disney pin celebrates the 55th Anniversary of Walt Disney's animated classic, *The Aristocats*, which originally premiered on December 11, 1970, with a general release on December 24, 1970. The pin beautifully depicts the elegant mother cat Duchess, alongside her three adorable kittens: the prim and proper Marie, the artistic Toulouse, and the musical Berlioz. They are charmingly nestled together in a woven basket adorned with a pink bow, a nod to their pampered Parisian life before their grand adventure. The pin features a '55 Years' medallion logo, commemorating over five decades of this beloved film. As a Limited Release (LR) pin, it was available for a specific, finite period, making it a sought-after collectible for fans of *The Aristocats*. This particular design is a Pin on Pin (PP) element, adding a desirable dimensional quality, and boasts enamelled cloisonné and laser print elements for intricate detail. The film, set in 1910 Paris, tells the heartwarming story of these aristocratic felines and their journey home with the help of alley cat Thomas O'Malley. The popularity of characters like Marie, in particular, contributes significantly to the desirability of pins from this franchise.
