Find of the Day: Storybook Classics Monthly Ornaments & Pins

Hey there Disney Fans!

I am really excited about today's Find of the Day because it's not just one find, it's several months worth of finds! Yay!

Ok, ok, excitement aside, today's Find of the Days are the Storybook Classics Monthly Ornaments & Pins!!! Yay! (yeah, I'm really pretty excited.)

What it is: These are completely wonderful ornaments and pins being released each month. Each set commemorates a Disney Classic and the storybooks those classics are based on.

Who it's For: Anyone who likes Disney Ornaments or Disney Pins, people who like Disney Classics, People who like Storybooks, and anyone who just likes cute little things.

What it Costs: So far, only the first month (August) has been released but, the ornament for August is listed at $19.95 plus shipping and tax and the pin is listed at $14.95. Prices may vary but, I think we can expect most months to be around the same.

How to Get it: These are an online exclusive available only here.

Why It's A Find of the Day: I Love these! There are so many Disney Shorts that may not sound all that familiar at first, but once you see them you think, "Oh yeah, I remember seeing that when I was a kid." These shorts, either independently produced or created as a part of an anthology released as a full-length film, are a hugely important part of both Disney history and the Disney library of animated work.

This yearlong series will commemorate these important works and feature everything from full-length feature films like Snow White and Mary Poppins to  compilation films like Make Mine Music, Fun and Fancy Free, and Melody Time, which featured classics like Mickey and the Beanstalk, Pecos Bill, and Peter and the Wolf. What this collection has in common is that they are all Disney classics based on storybooks. At this point, a lot of the Disney cartoons are more famous than the original storybooks.

I am particularly excited about this one because it highlights some great Disney animation that many have now forgotten. While most of us have heard of Snow White, I was shocked to learn that there are plenty of people who haven't heard of Casey at Bat. I am a huge fan of Lambert the Sheepish Lion (to be commemorated in November), but not that many people remember it anymore. It's a great story and I think it's wonderful that it's being commemorated in ornaments and pins.

Worthy of Note: I particularly wanted to report on this Find now because August is the first month these are being released, so everyone will have the opportunity to get in at the beginning and not miss any of these. One will be put out every month for a year, so it's a great opportunity to start a collection.

That's it for the Find of the Day! What do you think? Will you be collecting these? Do you love Lambert? Let me know in the comments!
