Why the stamp was issued: To commemorate a famous Disney villain and the work put in by the Walt Disney Studios Ink & Paint Department to bring this character to life.
About the stamp design: Pictures Scar from The Lion King. 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: Scar is arguably the most infamous Disney villain of all time. While there may be more powerful or menacing characters, Scar is one of the few evil-doers to achieve his goals.
At the beginning of The Lion King, Scar, younger brother to King Mufasa, wants the throne and plots to take it by force. Scar uses his nephew, Simba, to draw Mufasa into danger and kill him. This is one of only a handful of times a Disney villain actually kills a main protagonist. Scar convinces Simba (who did not see Scar throw Mufasa from the cliff) that his father’s death is his fault and that he should “run away and never return.” Scar sends three hyenas to kill Simba, but they only manage to chase him away. With Simba and Mufasa gone, Scar becomes the new king of Pride Rock. He immediately brings an army of hyenas – the natural enemies of lions – into the Pride Lands.
Through Scar gets exactly what he wants, under his rule there is famine and drought. He becomes angry and paranoid over the years after constantly being compared to Mufasa. When Simba returns to reclaim the throne, he forces Scar to reveal the truth about Mufasa’s death. Scar is ultimately killed by hyenas when he betrays them trying to avoid battle with Simba. Scar’s betrayal of family and allies makes him a villain whose acclaim goes beyond the world of animation.
