King Leonidas- Bedknobs and Doornockers

This pin features King Leonidas, the anthropomorphic lion character from the 1971 classic musical fantasy film Bedknobs and Broomsticks. The design is part of the 2010 Hidden Mickey Ribbon series released at Walt Disney World. The pin displays a metallic, sculpted portrait of King Leonidas set against a deep blue, textured ribbon background, which mimics the aesthetic of a prize award. As an Open Edition pin, it was originally distributed as a Hidden Mickey series pin, meaning it was primarily acquired through trading with Cast Members at Disney parks. The Hidden Mickey Ribbon series is highly nostalgic for long-time traders, as these pins were staples of the trading landscape in the late 2000s and early 2010s. King Leonidas appears in the film during the famous 'Substitutiary Locomotion' sequence, where Miss Price brings his statue to life. Collectors value this piece for its unique representation of a less frequently featured character from a beloved live-action/animated hybrid film. The pin includes a small Mickey icon stamp on the ribbon, confirming its status as an authentic Disney Hidden Mickey release. Its inclusion in a set that spans various Disney characters makes it a desirable item for completionists of the 2010 era.
