Front Description
It is presumed that this pin was presented at a special meeting or celebration commemorating the joining of Disney Corp. and Pixar, though the announced purchase of Pixar was in January 2006. A search of Disney-Pixar happenings does not reveal a specific reason for the October 9, 2007 date on the pin's reverse.
The Imagineer-exclusive pin shows Mickey Mouse, right facing slightly left, dressed as The Sorcerer's Apprentice from Fantasia. He has his right arm around the neck of Luxo, Jr., the iconic lamp which stands as Pixar's most famous symbol. Luxo, Jr. is turned right, with its "face" turned toward us. Luxo, Jr. is gray with the inside of its lamp white with a yellow bulb.
Mickey's clothing colors are the traditional blue, light blue, red, yellow and white.
On the back of the card it states;
"We're celebrating the first ten years of collaboration - and an exciting future of inspiring each other even more! Through this extraordinary partnership, Walt Disney Imagineering and Pixar Animation Studios are entertaining Guests throughout the world with amazing experiences!
