Chef Remy - EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival 2021

This enchanting Limited Release pin, featuring Chef Remy, celebrates the 2021 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival at Walt Disney World. The pin depicts Remy, the ambitious rat from Disney•Pixar's 2007 animated feature film *Ratatouille*, holding pieces of cheese in each hand while standing over a pan. In the background, four international pavilions are visible, with Spaceship Earth and the phrase "Celebrating Epicuriousity" above them. The cheese elements on the pin are a Free-D / rubber material, adding a tactile dimension. The *Ratatouille* film, released on June 29, 2007, tells the story of Remy's dream to become a great chef in Paris, despite being a rat. The Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, which began in 1995, is an annual event known for its diverse culinary offerings and special merchandise. The 2021 festival ran from July 15 to November 20, coinciding with Walt Disney World Resort's 50th Anniversary celebration. Collectors highly value festival pins, especially those featuring popular characters like Remy, due to their association with specific, limited-time events at the park. This particular pin was released on the festival's opening day, July 15, 2021, and was available for purchase at Walt Disney World.
