Description:
On August 16, 2007, at the American Gardens Theater, Epcot Center, Walt Disney World, in Orlando, Florida, the Postal Service issued the 41-cent The Art of Disney: Magic commemorative stamps in four designs. David Pacheco of Burbank, California, designed the stamps. 200 million stamps were printed.
This stamp pane honors the art of magic as imagined by Walt Disney and his studio animators. With help from some of Walt Disney's famous animated characters, Postal Service art director Terrence McCaffrey joined with a Disney team, including artist Peter Emmerich and creative director David Pacheco, to create four stamps that feature the following characters:
-Dumbo and Timothy Mouse.
-Peter Pan and Tinker Bell.
-Mickey Mouse as "The Sorcerer's Apprentice."
-Aladdin and Genie.
