New Song of the South Southern Series Pin Released
On September 15th, Disney released a new pin series in a salute to the American South. Each pin pictures a Southern belle and gentleman. Appropriately enough, one of the pins depicts Brer Bear, Brer Fox, and Brer Rabbit from Song of the South. Who’s the rabbit belle on Brer Rabbit’s arm? They don’t mention her by name, but I would suspect it’s Miss Molly, long-time “sweetheart” of Brer Rabbit seen in various Disney comics and books over the years. This would be the first time she’s appeared on a pin.
DisneyShopping.com Product Description: “Br’er Rabbit, Br’er Fox and Br’er Bear find the belle of the ball to be mighty satisfactual on this limited-edition Disney pin inspired by Walt Disney’s classic Song of the South. Imported”
The pin is limited to an edition of 250 and is available to order from DisneyShopping.com. The price is $12.95.
Two New Splash Mountain Brer Rabbit Pins Released
Disneyland Resort recently released two new Splash Mountain pins depicting Brer Rabbit released on Sunday, May 7, 2006.
The first pin features Brer Rabbit in a Splash Mountain log. Part of the E-Ticket Thrills Collection, this pin was a Gift With Purchase pin, available with each $20 purchase of pins or pin accessories at select Disneyland Resort locations.
The second pin depicts Brer Rabbit in the foreground of a pin-on-pin design with Splash Mountain in the background on a postage stamp. This pin, part of the Greetings from Disneyland Resort 2006 series, was limited to an edition of 1000 and retailed for $10.95.
New Splash Mountain 15th Anniversary Pins Released
On October 22, Disneyland Resort released four new Splash Mountain 15th Anniversary pins, two of which depict the Brer characters. The first pin, entitled “Paddle Wheel,” depicts Brer Rabbit aboard the Zip-A-Dee Lady, the large showboat seen at the end of Splash Mountain. What’s cool about this pin is that you can turn the paddle wheel! This pin retails for $12.50 and is limited to an edition of 1500.
The second pin, entitled “The Drop,” depicts Brer Rabbit, Brer Bear and Brer Fox all plummeting down the Splash Mountain plume, while Brer Vulture (a.k.a. one of the Boothill Boys) looks on. This same scene is pictured on many Splash Mountain publicity items from the early 90’s. This pin also has a neat feature, the log slides up and down. This pin retails for $10.50 and is also limited to an edition of 1500.
The other two pins, entitled “The Descent” and “The End”, depict Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy. They are Open Edition pins and retail for $6.50 each. These pins are available at the Emporium, La Mascarade d’Orleans, the Plaza Pavilion carts, Greetings from California, P.T. Flea Market, World of Disney, and Mickey in Paradise.
Brer Rabbit and Brer Bear Appear on New Disney State Pins
On August 4, Disneyland Resort released 50 pins depicting all 50 states. Among them is Brer Rabbit, who appears on the Louisiana State Pin, and Brer Bear, who appears on the Georgia State Pin. These pins were also later released at the Walt Disney World Resort on September 24. It’s a shame Brer Fox didn’t make it this time around. Each pin is open edition, and retails for $8.50.
