VHS Plush and VHS Pin Anniversary Sets – shopDisney
Every 90s kid who grew up with a TV will no doubt remember the excitement of getting a new Disney video. Each VHS release of a feature film came cradled in a puffy white box with those extra rounded edges and beautiful movie artwork. There was also that unique, plasticy smell that you began to associate with magic. I love those days!
Disney might not be releasing movies on VHS anymore but that doesn’t mean they’re ready to say goodbye to the medium. In honor of several Disney Animated Classics, the company has debuted a new collection of plush and pins that feature VHS packaging!
Among the selections are Monsters Inc.,The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Beauty and the Beast, One Hundred and One Dalmatians, and Dumbo and each film is celebrating a milestone anniversary in 2021. In addition to the awesome packaging, each VHS pin is hinged and opens to show the video cassette with tape rewound to the left side! The opening of the pin also features an image or icon from the film.
