Front Description
One of twelve monthly CEREAL BOXES limited-edition pins released at both DL and WDW in 2020. These pins were available in the parks during January, February, and July-December. Due to Covid-19 shutdowns, the monthly release for April-June was moved to shopDisney.com. There was no release in March, when things had pretty much come to a standstill everywhere, so three pins were released in April and May in a catch-up move.
Each hinged pin looks like a cereal box themed after a different Disney character. When you open the pin, you see an epoxied printed image on the right side meant to look like cold cereal. At the bottom of this picture is a chain with a coordinated dangle "toy" on the end. When the pin is closed (round magnet on right side), you can let the dangle hang down or hide it inside the box. When open, the left side of the pin (back of the front) has a printed game like cereal boxes used to have. The backer card says SURPRISE TOY INSIDE EACH BOX! and Start your day the Disney way!. It also says GUARANTEED FRESH and GREAT TASTE!. In small letters at the bottom, it reads "Not actual cereal. Not an actual toy."
An orange shape in the top right corner advertises that this cereal is “Slimy...Yet Satisfying.” Below this shape is a dark green background. “Timon's Bugs and Grubs” is written out across the top with Timon's being a golden yellow, Bugs being red, & being a pale yellow and Grubs being orange. Timon himself is peeking in from the bottom right. His right arm is stretched out holding a leaf acting as a plate, which is holding a large red "grub" and two pale yellow worms. A mix of light green and dark green leaves act as a background. Three red tab-like boxes run along the bottom right that include the numbers for things like calories and such. These numbers include “06 | 24 | 94” which also doubles as June 24, 1994 which was the theatrical release date for The Lion King. A red banner to the right of these tabs states “Surprise Inside Box!” This “box” opens like a book and the dangle gimmick falls out with the an orange and golden yellow drawing of Simba as a cub, similar to the one Rafiki draws on the tree in the film at the end of the chain. On the left of the open box is a classic cereal box game “Lion King Word Search” with the circled names of Simba, Scar, Rafiki, Pumba, Zazu, Mufasa, Nala, Timon, Sarabi, and Shenzi embossed below the title. A photo print of a bag of cereal of flakes with worms and blue dot-shaped marshmallows is placed on the right.
