Royal Mail stamps: Aardman animations released
- Published
"More cheese, Gromit?!" Two of Bristol-based Aardman Animations most popular characters are Wallace and Gromit, the cheese-loving inventor and loyal beagle..
Wallace and Gromit's first film A Grand Day Out is shown on one of the stamps. It was followed up with The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave. Speaking of the collaboration with Aardman Animations Royal Mail's David Gold said: "This set of stamps will surely bring a smile to everyone's face. These instantly recognisable, iconic animated characters have found a place in our hearts. We are certain they will add a bit of joy to any envelope."
Wallace and Gromit aren't the only Aardman superstars. Shaun the Sheep got his own film and now also has his own stamp shared with Bitzer the sheepdog.
These characters may not be familiar to you but Morph is actually one of Aardman's first creations, appearing on TV since 1977. Your parents will be pleased to see them get the stamp of approval by Royal Mail!
Rocky and Ginger who led the escape in the film Chicken Run are also celebrated as two of what Aardman's managing director Sean Clarke called their "most iconic characters".
This is sure to be a popular festive stamp! This mouse-like robin from 2021's Robin Robin also spreads his wings on this stamp.
