Napoleon and Lafayette Riding Motorcycle - The Aristocats

This delightful Open Edition (OE) Disney pin, released on July 3, 2023, at both Disneyland Resort (DLR) and Walt Disney World (WDW), depicts the memorable canine duo, Napoleon and Lafayette, from Disney's 1970 animated classic, *The Aristocats*. The pin features Napoleon, the clever Bloodhound, at the handlebars of a gray motorcycle, with his tongue comically sticking out, while his clumsy Basset Hound companion, Lafayette, rides happily in the attached sidecar with his ears flowing in the wind. These lovable country dogs are known for their hilarious antics and for inadvertently helping Duchess and her kittens escape the clutches of the villainous butler, Edgar, in the film. *The Aristocats*, which premiered on December 11, 1970, marked the 20th Disney animated feature and was notable as the first animated film produced after Walt Disney's passing. This pin celebrates these beloved supporting characters, capturing their adventurous spirit and their iconic mode of transportation in the French countryside. Collectors appreciate this pin for its charming portrayal of these fan-favorite, albeit minor, characters and its connection to a pivotal film in Disney animation history. It was also made available at Disney Store Europe and Disney Store UK.
