A Charming Throwback: Disney’s “Have a Laugh! – Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip” Limited Edition Pin
Disney pin collectors know there’s something special about pieces that capture the spirit of classic animation, and the 2010 Have a Laugh! pin‑of‑the‑month series did exactly that. Among the standout releases from the collection is the delightful “Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip” pin—an homage to the beloved 1940 animated short of the same name.
At first glance, the pin brings nostalgia front and center: Mickey Mouse stands proudly beside a vintage green suitcase, luggage tag and all. But like many great Disney pins, there’s a hidden surprise. The suitcase opens on a hinge to reveal Pluto tucked inside, playfully reenacting the mischievous moment when Pluto sneaks along for Mickey’s journey despite conductor Pete’s objections.

This limited‑edition piece was part of a year‑long celebration of Disney’s Have a Laugh! initiative, which restored and re‑released classic shorts for a new generation. Each pin in the series featured interactive elements, and this one is no exception—its movable hinge and charming character details make it a favorite among fans of both Mickey and Pluto.
