Mrs. Potts and Chip at Bonjour! Village Gifts

This charming pin features Mrs. Potts and her son Chip, the beloved enchanted kitchenware characters from Disney's 1991 animated masterpiece, Beauty and the Beast. The design depicts the duo in front of the Bonjour! Village Gifts shop, which is an iconic storefront located in the Fantasyland area of Walt Disney World. This pin was released as part of the 2016 Hidden Mickey series, a popular collection of Open Edition pins traditionally acquired by trading with Cast Members at Disney parks. Because these pins were distributed through blind-bag mystery pouches or park-wide trading, they are highly sought after by collectors looking to complete their sets. The artwork captures the whimsical, storybook architecture of the village setting, perfectly framing the heartwarming mother-son dynamic of Mrs. Potts and Chip. As an Open Edition pin, it offers a more accessible entry point for fans of the film, though the specific character popularity of the Beauty and the Beast ensemble ensures it remains a staple in many traders' collections. The pin captures the essence of the 'tale as old as time' by highlighting a specific, immersive location within the Walt Disney World resort. Collectors appreciate this piece for its thematic connection to park environments and its detailed representation of the film's most endearing sidekicks.
