D23 Exclusive Disney 100 Anniversary Animated Classics Storybook & Pin Collection

The Walt Disney Company celebrates 100 Years of Wonder in 2023.  To commemorate this milestone, they are offering a D23 exclusive storybook and pin set. There is a strict limit of 10,000 sets available.

The books in this exclusive, hardcover collector set measure 8½” x 12″ with a silver stamped fabric cover, sewn bindings, a ribbon book marker, gilded edges, and the official Disney 100 Year Anniversary emblem.

The twelve book and pin sets are 101 Dalmations, Aladdin, Alice in Wonderland, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Dumbo, Frozen, Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, The Lion King, and The Little Mermaid.

“Each timeless classic story is lovingly retold and illustrated with art carefully selected from Disney animation archives, including a combination of original concept art, story sketches, animation cels, and more. Enjoy story introductions from original Studio animators or those connected with the films, for fascinating behind-the-scenes takes. At the back of the books are additional details about the origin of the story and its art, the development journey within Walt Disney Studios, and extensive information about the original animators.”

“Each keepsake book comes with a matching character pin tied to the same edition limit. These pins cannot be acquired on the primary market other than as part of this collection, and only as part of this offer. This set of 12 hand-crafted, hard enamel pins bears an exclusive 100th Anniversary design surrounding each character, with detailed touches front and back – including mouse ear closures and an embossed pattern on the back of each pin.”

Each storybook and pin collection comes with a silver-stamped, sequentially-numbered certificate of authenticity.

The sets will be delivered in a keepsake collector box in December 2023. They are $218.00 with free shipping. It’s $19 to order to reserve a collection with $199 due prior to shipment.

This is a very nice set for pin collectors, book collectors, and Disney fans alike. With a relatively low number being produced, you will probably want to reserve your set if you’re interested.
