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 Ursula from The Little Mermaid. 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: In Disney’s The Little Mermaid, the over-the-top Ursula stole the show and became an instant sensation. She not only served in the role of villain, but also as a sort-of unexpected mentor to Princess Ariel.
Part of Ursula’s evil charm is her way of making everything she says sound enticing. For example, while her song “Poor Unfortunate Souls” outlines her villainous past, Ariel ignores Ursula’s warnings of what happened to people who “couldn’t pay the price.” Ariel makes a deal with Ursula anyway and even agrees to give up her voice. Ursula is skilled at drawing unsuspecting people in wih her words, making her an opponent to be extremely wary of.
What makes Ursula such an effective villain to Princess Ariel’s heroine is her experience. Ariel has presumably spent very little time outside Atlantica, making her very naïve. Ursula, on the other hand, is wise to the ways of the world and uses that information to manipulate others and get what she wants. Some critics have said Ursula was a mother-like figure for Ariel even though she was a villain. While mostly intent on deceiving her, Ursula still gives Ariel advice and warns her about the differences in the human world.
Ursula’s overly dramatic nature and powerful voice make her an entertaining and unusual villain who will continue to captivate audiences for years to come.
