Mickey Mouse and his friends rule as the most popular stamp series with $211.5 million in revenue. However, Elvis remains king as the single most popular stamp subject of all time with an estimated $124.1 million collected.
This 'Art of Disney' imaginative design features:
- Mickey Mouse as Steamboat Willie
- Mowgli and Baloo from The Jungle Book
- Princess Aurora and her helpers Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather from Sleeping Beauty
- Pongo and one of his pups from 101 Dalmatians
