Succulent Planter - Hercules

This enchanting Open Edition (OE) pin from Walt Disney World (WDW) features a vibrant green succulent plant nestled within a beautifully stylized Greek amphora, immediately evoking the mythological world of Disney's "Hercules." The planter itself is adorned with classical Greek patterns in orange, black, and yellow, centrally showcasing Hercules' iconic lightning bolt symbol, encircled by swirling clouds that represent the powers of the gods, particularly Zeus. Released in 2022 as part of the popular "Succulent Planter" series, this pin celebrates the beloved animated film "Hercules," which debuted in 1997 as the 35th entry in the Disney Animated Canon. Directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, the movie loosely adapts the legendary Greek hero's story, focusing on his journey to become a true hero and rejoin his father, Zeus, on Mount Olympus. The succulent itself is a simulated, Free-D/rubbery element, adding a tactile dimension to the pin's cloisonné design. This series is highly collectible for its unique concept of Disney character-themed planters, with other pins in the collection featuring designs like Dumbo, Scrump from Lilo & Stitch, the Poisoned Apple from Snow White, Genie's Lamp from Aladdin, Chip from Beauty and the Beast, Winnie the Pooh, Mickey Mouse, and Groot.
