Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde - Serve & Protect Badge - Zootopia/Zootropolis

This captivating Open Edition (OE) Disney pin, released on June 21, 2022, celebrates the beloved duo, Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, from Walt Disney Animation Studios' critically acclaimed film, "Zootopia" (known internationally as "Zootropolis"). The pin prominently features the two main characters in their iconic Zootopia Police Department (ZPD) uniforms, set against a shield-shaped badge. Judy, the optimistic rabbit police officer, and Nick, her formerly cynical fox partner, are depicted with the motto "SERVE & PROTECT" emblazoned on a banner beneath them. The pin itself is a Pin on Pin (PP) design, adding a desirable dimensional quality, with the banner and even Nick's hat extending slightly off the main badge. Released at both Disneyland Resort (DLR) and Walt Disney World (WDW), this pin appeals to collectors who appreciate the film's themes of overcoming prejudice and unlikely partnerships. "Zootopia," released on March 4, 2016, was a massive success, grossing over $1 billion worldwide and winning an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. The enduring popularity of the characters, further fueled by the 2022 Disney+ series "Zootopia+" and the upcoming "Zootopia 2" in 2025, makes this a cherished piece for fans of the franchise.
