About the stamp design: Pictures Honest John from Pinocchio. The design was created in close collaboration with Disney Creative Director David Pacheco and the Walt Disney Studios Ink & Paint Department. They created new art especially for use on the stamp.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California, the city that’s home to the original Disneyland park.
About the Disney Villains set: Includes 10 stamp designs picturing classic Disney villains: Maleficent, Honest John, Cruella De Vil, Captain Hook, the Queen of Hearts, Lady Tremaine, Ursula, the Queen, Gaston, and Scar. The selvage of the pane includes a larger image of the evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The reverse side of the pane showcases drawings of the 10 characters and quotes by each one. The designs were created in close collaboration with Disney Creative Director David Pacheco and the Walt Disney Studios Ink & Paint Department. They created new art especially for use on the stamps. According to the USPS, these stamps were created to celebrate “the rich legacy of the Walt Disney Studios Ink & Paint Department.”
History the stamp represents: Most Disney films have one primary villain who faces off against the hero. However, Pinocchio has several evil characters who appear throughout the movie.
After being brought to life by the Blue Fairy, Pinocchio, now a living puppet, begins his quest to become a real boy. But, on his way to school, he is spotted by two troublemakers, Honest John the fox and Gideon the cat. The charactes corrupt Pinocchio by persuading him to skip school and come with them. They initially act as the puppet’s friend, but they are con-men and quickly deceive him. After being sold to a bad-tempered showman named Stromboli, Pinocchio later escapes and is found again by Honest John and Gideon. They lead him astray a second time by sending him to Pleasure Island where Pinocchio’s bad behavior results in him sprouting donkey ears and a tail. Realizing Honest John’s trickery, Pinocchio escapes the islands and is later redeemed and turned into a real boy.
With Pinocchio’s release in 1940, Honest John became the very first Disney villain to have a musical number. His son, “Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee,” began a long tradition of evil-doers having persuasive or revealing tunes about themselves. The devious Honest John added real-life lessons to Pinocchio and helped make it one of the most highly rated films in Disney history.
