Milo Thatch - Atlantis: The Lost Empire 20th Anniversary

This Limited Edition (LE) pin, released in 2021 with an edition size of 3000, celebrates the 20th Anniversary of Disney's animated science fiction adventure film, "Atlantis: The Lost Empire." The pin features Milo Thatch, the film's protagonist, depicted as the eager linguist and cartographer. Milo, voiced by Michael J. Fox, is central to the movie's plot, leading an expedition in 1914 to find the legendary lost city of Atlantis, guided by his grandfather's research and the ancient Shepherd's Journal. "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" premiered on June 3, 2001, making this pin a commemorative piece for a film that has gained a significant cult following over the years, despite its initial modest box office performance. The pin was available at both Disneyland Resort (DLR) and Walt Disney World (WDW), making it accessible to collectors on both coasts. It is a pin-on-pin design, with Milo and a rolled map being the raised elements, adding a desirable dimensional quality. This specific pin is part of a larger "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" 20th Anniversary pin series, which includes other characters like Princess Kida. Collectors value this pin not only for its Limited Edition status and anniversary significance but also for the enduring appeal of "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" and its unique visual style, which was influenced by comic book artist Mike Mignola.
