35162 - Walt Disney's Animation Celebration Pin Event (2018) - Donald Animating - Walt Disney World

Pin Description:

The Animation Celebration 2018 featured a 4 pin set as a Parting Gift With Purchase. Each of these 4 pins featured one of the “Fab 4” demonstrating 1 of 4 steps of classic animation. These pins included:

Step 1: Goofy walking through a Storyboard
Step 2: Donald drawing the Animation from the storyboard
Step 3: Minnie Painting the Cells from Animation
Step 4: Mickey dressed up and attending the animation’s Premiere
This particular pin is of Donald Duck demonstrating “Step 2”. Donald is sitting at an animation desk holding up a mirror to be able to mimic his expressions to the character he is drawing out in front of him, a caricature of himself. On top of the animation desk, the feet of a clay model of the caricature can be seen. Donald himself is dressed in a turquoise green outfit complete with a hat and vest. This is a pin-on-pin with the base being the animation desk and the pin-on-pin being Donald, the mirror, and animation he is drawing.

The back of the pin features the Mickey waffling. There are two posts to hold up this heavier pin. Between the two pins are the 5 boxes that hold the logos and info for this pin. The Animation Celebration Logo and Official 2018 Pin Trading Logo are side by side under the top post. The edition info, (C) and made in info, and “Animation” are listed above the second post. The sku is printed to the left along the bottom.
