29858 Disney Catalog - Disney Studio Military Insignia (Jiminy Cricket)

During World War II, The Walt Disney Studio was swamped with requests from the military to use Disney characters in creating distinctive unit insignia. Over a five-year period, the Studio contributed over 1,200 designs to the war effort. Disney presents part of a relatively forgotten body of Disney art that helped boost morale during the war years. Jiminy Cricket is riding on the back of a seahorse, wearing his top hat and holding his umbrella. Round, blue background.
