Chernabog Cute Chibi Disney Villain

This Open Edition (OE) pin, featuring Chernabog from Disney's 1940 animated musical anthology film *Fantasia*, is part of the Walt Disney World (WDW) Hidden Disney 2024: Cute Chibi Villains Collection series. Chernabog, often referred to as 'the devil himself' by Walt Disney, is based on the God of the Night from Slavic mythology and is famously depicted in *Fantasia*'s 'Night on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria' segment, where he summons spirits and demons from Bald Mountain before being vanquished by the morning sun. The pin portrays Chernabog in a stylized, 'cute chibi' form with a larger head, reflecting the aesthetic of this particular series. This specific 'Cute Villains' set includes six pins in total: Ursula, The Evil Queen, Maleficent, Scar, Chernabog, and a Chaser pin featuring Professor Ratigan. As a 'Common' Hidden Mickey variant, this pin was initially available for trading with Cast Members (CM) at Walt Disney World and later became available for purchase in mystery pouches in May 2024. The small, silver Hidden Mickey icon, signifying its authenticity and series type, is located on the bottom right of the pin. Collectors value this pin for its depiction of a classic, powerful Disney villain and its place within the popular and annually anticipated Hidden Disney collection.
