Artland - Gargoyles of Notre Dame - Victor, Hugo, and Laverne

This beautiful collector pin features the beloved trio of gargoyles—Victor, Hugo, and Laverne—from Disney's 1996 animated classic, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Set against a striking stained-glass circular backdrop, the pin captures the playful and supportive personalities of Quasimodo's stone companions. The pin is produced by Artland, a company well-known for high-quality, boutique-style pins that often feature intricate background elements like the stained glass seen here. As an Artist Proof, this pin is particularly special, as Artist Proofs are very limited versions of the final production design, typically reserved for artists and designers, making them highly sought after by serious collectors. The detailed metalwork highlights the distinct facial expressions of each gargoyle, bringing the trio to life in a way that resonates with fans of the film. The Hunchback of Notre Dame remains a cult favorite among Disney fans, and high-quality pins featuring these specific characters are often considered quite desirable. The 'AP' marking on the packaging confirms its status as an Artist Proof, distinguishing it from standard retail releases. This piece serves as a wonderful tribute to the film's unique blend of humor and Gothic architecture, which was a hallmark of the Disney Renaissance era. Collectors value this item not only for its artistic merit but also for its relative scarcity compared to mass-produced pins.
