Disney’s stamps of approval
ARIEL from Disney’s The Little Mermaid at the Great Barrier Reef features on a stamp celebrating 100 years of the movie production company.
Three other stamps in the set show Disney Pixar’s Nemo, the clownfish from Finding Nemo making himself at home in Sydney Harbour, and Kanga and Roo from Winnie The Pooh in their natural habitat in Australia’s Red Centre as well as Disney icons Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse sightseeing on Victoria’s Great Ocean Road.
The special collectable set is available at participating Australia Post shops.
Melbourne-based Tara Stone, the product development manager at The Walt Disney Company Australia and New Zealand, designed the range which was inspired by her childhood love of stamp collecting.
“Collaborating with two beloved brands like Disney and Australia Post is one of my childhood dreams realised – and it makes it an even bigger career and personal highlight for me since it is also Disney’s 100th anniversary,” she said.
Australia Post retail executive general manager Catriona Noble said generations of Australians had grown up with Disney, from the early days of cinema and television through to today. We’re delighted to celebrate our favourite Disney characters with a touch of Aussie flair in this latest commemorative stamp collection,” she said.
Stamps are $1.20 each and the new collection will also inc lude separately a first-day cover, stamp pack, minisheet, and maxi cards.
