Collins Cover Announcement 

Disney/Pixar

 Up

This  is the final cover for the new five Disney/Pixar stamp set. Ever since I saw my first full-length technicolor Disney motion picture — "Bambi" — I joined the millions upon millions of individuals who have enjoyed the imagination and creativity of Walt Disney and his successors. The new generation of films featured on these stamps are very well done and very entertaining.

My individually hand watercolored cachets now corne to a conclusion for this set with "Up. " The hero of the

story is a 78-year old balloon salesman named Carl who has always wanted to travel to South America. One day he ties thousands of balloons to his house and, along with an eight year-old stowaway (Russell), flies to that continent for an incredible adventure. Shown on the hand painted cachet is Russell on an exotic bird named Kevin at the left, Carl at the right, and the lovable dog named Dug in the front center. As with the other four in this set, this cover pays tribute to the Wonderful World of Disney as depicted on this new series of light-hearted stamps. Now ready is "Up. " Collins #J4904 at $14.00.
