Marie Ear Headband

This delightful Open Edition (OE) pin features Marie, the charming white kitten from Disney's classic animated film *The Aristocats*, depicted in the popular form of an ear headband. Released as part of the Disneyland Resort (DLR) Hidden Disney 2025: Wave A series, this pin captures Marie's signature look, complete with her iconic pink bow and white ears. *The Aristocats*, which premiered on December 11, 1970, introduced Marie as the "ladylike" middle kitten of Duchess, quickly becoming a fan favorite for her sassy personality and Parisian elegance. The "Ear Headbands" set is a beloved sub-series within the broader Hidden Disney collection, known for transforming popular characters into wearable ear designs. As a common variant in Wave A of the 2025 Hidden Disney series, this pin was initially available through trading with Cast Members (CM) at Disneyland Resort, a unique distribution method that adds an element of discovery for collectors. These pins are later available for purchase in mystery pouches, typically containing two pins. Collectors value this pin not only for its depiction of a universally adored character but also for its place within the highly sought-after Hidden Mickey program, encouraging active pin trading and fostering a sense of community.
