Hidden Mickey 2014 - Small World - Ciao

This charming pin features the iconic wooden puppet Pinocchio, from the classic 1940 Disney film, as part of the 'Small World' themed Hidden Mickey 2014 series. Pinocchio is depicted in his signature yellow hat, blue bow tie, and red shorts, standing atop a small platform with the word 'CIAO' written below him, a nod to his Italian origins. The pin is designed as an Open Edition release, originally distributed as a Hidden Mickey pin at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort in 2014. These pins were primarily obtained by collectors through trading with Cast Members in the parks, making them a fun and nostalgic hunt for fans of the 'it's a small world' attraction. The design captures the whimsical art style of Mary Blair, the legendary artist whose work defined the aesthetic of the 'it's a small world' attraction. Collectors particularly appreciate the Hidden Mickey icon located on the right shoe, which serves as the authentication mark for this specific series. As part of a larger set celebrating various characters in the 'it's a small world' style, this pin is highly sought after by fans of Pinocchio and attraction-themed collectibles alike. The 'CIAO' text adds a delightful international flair that fits perfectly with the global theme of the ride. Its status as an Open Edition means it was produced in higher quantities than limited releases, yet it remains a staple for completionist traders.
