George Sanderson 23-19 - Monsters, Inc.

This vibrant Open Edition (OE) pin, released on March 28, 2023, at both Disneyland Resort (DLR) and Walt Disney World (WDW), captures a classic comedic moment from Disney and Pixar's beloved 2001 film, *Monsters, Inc.*. The pin features George Sanderson, the orange, one-horned monster, looking visibly distressed as he is caught in a '23-19' incident. A prominent circular icon on his back highlights a white sock, the offending human artifact, while a digital display below him boldly flashes '23-19.' In the film, '23-19' is the emergency code used by the Child Detection Agency (CDA) when a monster comes into contact with a human item, most famously a child's sock. This triggers immediate, often humiliating, decontamination procedures for the unfortunate monster, which usually involves being shaved and fitted with a cone. George Sanderson is a recurring victim of these incidents, making him a memorable, albeit minor, character. While a popular fan theory links '23-19' to 'White Sock' (W being the 23rd letter and S the 19th), official film bonus features clarify it as a code for any article of children's clothing found on a monster. This pin celebrates a highly recognizable and humorous gag, making it a desirable piece for collectors and fans of the *Monsters, Inc.* franchise.
