Animator Jason Peltz appeared at the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts on Tuesday to sign his newly released Disney Artist Collection pins. These pins, celebrating 25 years of Disney Pin Trading, were exclusive to the pin kiosks near Creations Shop on Tuesday but remaining stock will be available property wide beginning on Wednesday.
The pins feature some of the characters Peltz worked on as a Disney animator. His credits include “Hercules,” “Mulan,” “The Emperor’s New Groove,” “The Princess and the Frog,” “Lilo & Stitch,” “Brother Bear,” and “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.” Peltz is now an associate product design manager on the Pin Trading Center of Excellence team.

The next pin depicts Hercules coming to life. Each pin also has a small golden “25 Years” plaque in the lower left corner.
