Brer - DLR Hidden Mickey Series 2009: Winnie the Pooh Silhouettes

This pin features Brer Bear from the 1946 Disney classic 'Song of the South' as part of the 2009 Hidden Mickey series released at the Disneyland Resort. The design is part of the 'Winnie the Pooh Silhouettes' subset, which is a bit of a misnomer, as it actually features various characters set against a glittery background framed by a white, puzzle-piece style border. The pin is an Open Edition release, which were typically distributed as Gift With Purchase pins or through pin trading with Cast Members at the parks. Brer Bear is known for his dim-witted but lovable personality, often serving as a foil to the clever Brer Fox. Collectors value this piece for its unique aesthetic, characterized by the shimmering glitter infill and the distinctive, unconventional white border design. Because it was part of a popular Hidden Mickey mystery set, it remains a nostalgic piece for those who collected during the late 2000s. The small Mickey icon located on the bottom right corner of the border confirms its status as an official Disney Hidden Mickey pin. Its inclusion in a set primarily themed around Winnie the Pooh makes it a notable and somewhat quirky addition to any collection.
