PP5489    WDW - Flamingo - Fantasia 2000

Released on 11 Jun 2001, this pin features the Flamingo, Our Hero from Fantasia 2000, with six yo-yos. He is on a lime-green background with the Fantasia 2000 logo at the top.

In director Eric Goldberg's interpretation of the whimsical Saint-Saëns' composition CARNIVAL OF THE ANIMALS, a flock of flamingos, affectionately referred to as the "snotty six," look down their beaks at a nonconformist in their midst. This rebel, whom the filmmakers took to calling Punkin, has a fondness for playing with yo-yos. Aware of the group's disapproval, Punkin sneaks his yo-yo playing in whenever and however he can, resulting in a hilarious and chaotic water ballet.
