Hidden Mickey 2014 WDW - Sketch Pads - Simba

This charming pin features a sketch of Simba, the iconic protagonist from Disney's 1994 animated classic The Lion King, illustrated on a spiral-bound notepad. It is part of the 2014 Hidden Mickey Sketch Pads series released at Walt Disney World. The design mimics a classic animator's sketch, with Simba's face rendered in blue lines against a cream-colored pad, complete with a blue pencil resting on the right side. A small, subtle Mickey icon is located in the bottom left corner, which is the hallmark of the Hidden Mickey pin program. As an Open Edition pin, this piece was primarily available through Cast Member trading at Walt Disney World Resort rather than direct retail purchase. Simba remains one of the most beloved Disney characters, and the artistic 'sketch' aesthetic has been a popular theme among collectors for years. This pin is highly sought after by fans of The Lion King and those who enjoy collecting the various waves of Hidden Mickey pins. The simplicity of the design makes it a versatile addition to any collection, highlighting the artistry behind the film's production. Because it was part of a specific 2014 Hidden Mickey wave, it serves as a nostalgic snapshot of park trading culture from that year.
