Berlioz and Marie with an Old Record Player - The Aristocats

This charming pin features the beloved kittens Marie and Berlioz from the classic Disney film 'The Aristocats' (1970), depicted alongside a vintage-style phonograph. Marie is shown sitting gracefully by the base of the record player, while Berlioz is perched atop the base, leaning into the gramophone's large yellow horn as if enjoying the music. The design captures the whimsical, musical spirit of the film, which follows Duchess and her kittens as they navigate Paris with the help of Thomas O'Malley. Released in 2023 at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World, this pin is a Limited Edition 300 release. While often categorized as an Open Edition in some databases, the specific Limited Edition 300 production run makes this a much more sought-after item for completionist collectors. The high-quality enamel work and the nostalgic theme of the record player evoke the jazz-infused atmosphere of the movie. Fans of Marie and Berlioz will appreciate the detailed character expressions and the classic aesthetic of the phonograph. This piece serves as a beautiful tribute to the enduring popularity of the characters and the film's memorable soundtrack. Collectors often prioritize pins featuring the kittens due to their immense popularity in the pin trading community.
