Disney's Goons-Sleeping Beauty's Monsters


I saw this pin on DisneyStore.com today, and quickly bought it. This is part of a Disney High School series, and features the Goons from Sleeping Beauty as football players.

I'm not a football fan, or necessarily crazy about the 1959 film, Sleeping Beauty (I did think it was beautifully done, and Maleficent is without a doubt one of the best Disney villains ever). The Goons are just fun, and I love obscure characters.

My favorite Goon is the one on the far left (holding the football). I wonder if he has a name?

I'd love to see more of these monsters. Maybe they could be part of a line of collectible figures (like Zizzlingers or Dino Magic).

  1. I am intruiged... what is the Disney high school series?

    Sleeping Beauty is one of my absolute favorites. Actually, it's tied for Robin Hood as my #1 favorite. The art is so beautiful and the characters are so well defined. I love it.

  3. Hey Peyton! The Disney High School series is new to me, too--Disney Pin Collecting is huge, and Disney uses diverse characters for sets with different themes (like motorcycles, hot air balloons, etc.).

    The High School series features characters with a 1950s flavor. DisneyStore.com has a few pins from this set on sale, including Alice, Jiminy Cricket, Mickey Mouse and the Goons.
