Yzma Cat with Potion - The Emperor's New Groove

This captivating Open Edition (OE) pin, released on March 25, 2024, at Walt Disney World (WDW), features the iconic villain Yzma in her memorable cat form from Disney's 2000 animated feature film, *The Emperor's New Groove*. The pin vividly portrays the light purple feline Yzma with a mischievous, angry expression, clutching a small pink potion bottle, a nod to her constant scheming and accidental transformations in the movie. *The Emperor's New Groove*, the 40th animated feature in the Disney Animated Canon, premiered on December 15, 2000, and has since garnered a significant cult following among Disney fans. Yzma, voiced by the legendary Eartha Kitt, is the film's primary antagonist, an eccentric and power-hungry advisor to Emperor Kuzco, who frequently employs her madcap potions in her attempts to usurp the throne. Her transformation into a cat is a direct result of ingesting the wrong potion, a humorous plot point that has become one of her most recognizable forms and is often considered a tribute to Eartha Kitt's role as Catwoman. Collectors highly value pins featuring popular villains, and Yzma, especially in her distinctive cat guise with the signature potion, is a particularly sought-after character, making this Open Edition release a delightful addition for enthusiasts of the film and Disney villains alike.
