Although Elvis remains king as the single most popular stamp subject of all time with an estimated 124.1 million collected, Mickey Mouse and his friends rule as the most popular stamp series with 211.5 million collected.
The Art of Disney "Imagination" stamps were the final set of Disney stamps to be issued. “The Art of Disney stamps have connected many Americans with Friendship, Celebration, Romance, Magic and now Imagination through the mail,” said U.S. Postal Service Chief of Staff Mike Spates.
“I know that Walt would be proud to see Mickey and the other Disney characters appear on U.S. Postage Stamps honoring imagination,” said Executive Vice President and Imagineering Ambassador, Walt Disney Imagineering, Marty Sklar. “Imagination was always at the heart of his work, in movies, television and here at Disneyland. He lived, breathed and dreamed it his whole life.”
Individual Stamps in the set:
Mickey Mouse as Steamboat Willie. Walt Disney once said that Mickey was “created for the purposes of laughter.” From the moment Walt Disney first imagined him, Mickey has been a happy reminder that a little laughter goes a long way; it's hard to imagine the world without his familiar smile.
Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) and her helpers Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather from Sleeping Beauty. Everyone dreams of living “happily ever after,” but not everyone has such enchanting helpers as Princess Aurora's tiny guardians, Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. Despite their delightfully dithery ways, the good fairies protect the princess and help her find the true love she has always imagined.
Pongo and one of his pups from 101 Dalmatians. Imagining a dog's emotional life requires a brilliant creative leap, but 101 Dalmatians gives us a unique dog's eye view of the world. In the loving bonds between Pongo and his pups, we see our own human ties brought to life—spot on.
Mowgli and Baloo from The Jungle Book. Who could imagine a jungle as jazzy as in The Jungle Book—or a more free-wheeling, upbeat buddy than Baloo? His lighthearted relationship with Mowgli reminds us that friendship and laughter really are among the “bare necessities of life.”
