Hidden Mickey 2014 - Sketch Pads - Ariel

This charming pin features Ariel from the 1989 Disney classic The Little Mermaid depicted as a blue-ink sketch on a cream-colored notepad. The design is part of the 2014 Hidden Mickey collection, specifically from the 'Sketch Pads' sub-set released at Walt Disney World. The pin is shaped like a spiral-bound notebook and includes a blue pencil resting against the side, along with a subtle Hidden Mickey icon integrated into the sketch area. As an Open Edition pin, it was originally available through the Cast Member pin trading program at Walt Disney World, making it a staple for character collectors. Ariel remains one of the most popular Disney Princesses, and the sketch aesthetic offers a unique, artistic take on her iconic look. This specific series is well-regarded by collectors for its clever design that frames the characters as if they are being drawn by an artist. Because it was a Hidden Mickey pin, it was not sold individually in stores but was instead used for trading with Cast Members throughout the parks. The pin measures approximately 1.5 inches and captures the whimsical essence of Ariel's underwater world. It is a highly sought-after piece for fans looking to complete their Hidden Mickey sets from that era.
