Front Description
During World War II, The Walt Disney Studio was swamped with requests from the military to use Disney characters in creating distinctive unit insignia. Over a five-year period, the Studio contributed over 1,200 designs to the war effort. Disney presents part of a relatively forgotten body of Disney art that helped boost morale during the war years.
This pin depicts Ben Ali Gator from the movie Fantasia as he appeared in artwork from the Disney WWII effort. Ben is seen standing in the water looking through a telescope.
