Michael Darling on Peter Pan's Flight

This Fantasy pin features Penny and her loyal pet cat, Rufus, from the classic 1977 Disney animated film, The Rescuers. The design showcases the duo riding in a blue and white striped hot air balloon, captured against a starry night sky, all housed within an ornate shield-shaped frame. The top of the frame is adorned with a prominent 'F' crest, consistent with the aesthetic of the Fantasyland Shields Mystery Collection. This piece is a Limited Edition 100 release, specifically categorized as a Fantasy pin, meaning it is an unlicensed creation not produced by The Walt Disney Company. Fantasy pins are often created by independent artists to celebrate characters or themes that are frequently overlooked by official Disney merchandise releases. Penny and Rufus are beloved figures for fans of the film, and their appearance on a high-quality, limited-run pin makes this a sought-after item for collectors of niche animation memorabilia. The pin's detailed artwork and limited production run contribute to its appeal within the private trading community. As this is not an official Disney product, it will not have a Disney copyright backstamp, which is a key detail for collectors to note when identifying the item.
