Hidden Mickey 2014 WDW - Up Balloons - Dug

This charming pin features Dug, the lovable golden retriever from the 2009 Disney-Pixar film Up, reimagined as a hot air balloon. The pin is part of the 2014 Hidden Mickey series released at Walt Disney World. The design cleverly incorporates Dug's expressive face, complete with his signature tongue out, as the balloon canopy, while the basket is adorned with a classic Hidden Mickey icon. As an Open Edition pin, it was originally distributed as a Cast Member trade item, making it a classic "scrapper-prone" piece that remains highly sought after by collectors who appreciate the unique balloon-themed designs. The Hidden Mickey 2014 series is well-regarded for its creative sub-sets, and the Up Balloons collection is particularly popular among Pixar fans. Dug, known for his "I have just met you, and I love you" line, remains one of the most endearing sidekicks in the Pixar canon. This pin serves as a fun, artistic representation of the film's iconic imagery and the whimsical spirit of Walt Disney World pin trading. Its compact size and recognizable character make it an excellent addition to any Pixar-themed display or Hidden Mickey collection.
