This mini superstar with the outsized ears has caused quite a stir in sight and sounds ever since he was first unveiled in 1928.
Walt had considered Rudyard Kipling’s famous collection of stories, with its many colorful animal personalities, as an ideal subject for Disney animation since the mid-1930s. He finally bought the screen rights in 1962.
Peter Pan was one of Walt Disney’s favorite stories, but when he finally gained the rights to make the movie, he had a hard time deciding exactly how Peter should be portrayed, both in terms of appearance and character. Walt eventually settled on a merry—but mischievous—individual who could fly without wings.
The runaway hit “Let It Go” gives voice to Elsa’s profound transformation. During the “Let It Go” number, Elsa transitions from buttoned up perfectionist to a person who gives herself permission to be who she is.
Disney collectors have sought out Disney pins since the 1930s, but it was in 1999 that Disney Pin trading became a phenomenon, as Disney parks began a new tradition of official pin trading with the kickoff of the Millennium Celebration at Walt Disney World Resort.

I grew up on Disney, I think most of us did. I like to share the experience with my niece and nephew. This looks like a great book to add to my collection.
