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 Captain Hook from Peter Pan. 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: While most villains are created to be threatening and powerful, Walt Disney’s vision of Captain Hook was different. He became a relatable character who audiences came to love just as much as Peter Pan.
Captain Hook’s primary motivation in Peter Pan is to get revenge on Pan for cutting off his hand and feeding it to a crocodile. The crocodile now pursues Hook relentlessly and the captain is, understandably, terrified of it, fleeing on sight. However, despite Hook’s desire to, he is unable to find the location of Peter Pan’s hideout. The captain takes his frustration out on his crew members, even shooting a man out of the crow’s nest for singing. He also has little patience for failure and reacts violently when his crew makes mistakes. Though his attitude is typical of a marauding pirate, Captain Hook is known for his honesty. While slightly crooked in keeping his promises (he is a villain after all), Hook upholds his deals to the letter. He considers himself a gentleman and gives enemies a choice to join his crew instead of walking the plank.
At the end of Peter Pan, Walt Disney insisted the captain live as “the audience will get to liking Hook and they won’t want to see him killed.” Disney was correct, and today Captain Hook is one of the funniest and most popular villains of all time.
