Royal Mail has unveiled a selection of stamps celebrating beloved Aardman Animations characters including Wallace and Gromit, Morph and Shaun The Sheep.
The Bristol-based animation studio was founded in 1972 and is best known for its films using stop-motion and clay modelling animation techniques. Now the British postage service company has teamed up with Aardman to feature some of their most celebrated characters on a new set of eight stamps – they include fan favourites Wallace and Gromit, Feathers McGraw, Shaun The Sheep, Timmy, Robin, Morph and Chas, Frank The Tortoise and Rocky and Ginger.
Speaking about the collaboration, Royal Mail’s director of external affairs and policy 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 and we are certain they will add a bit of joy to any envelope.”
