Issued: 03 Aug, 2005

So as to raise interest in philately among youths, in 2004 Chunghwa Post issued a set of postage stamps entitled “Cartoon Figure Postage Stamps – HELLO KITTY.” For its second set of cartoon figure stamps, Chunghwa Post has commissioned Walt Disney Taiwan to provide designs featuring Mickey Mouse, a cartoon character much loved by the young, for two souvenir sheets, each consisting of one NT$5 stamp and one NT$25 stamp.

Mickey Mouse has been a world-renowned superstar ever since Walt Disney created him in 1928. He has brought happiness to kids big and small around the world, and he was the first cartoon character to obtain a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Mickey’s optimistic, outgoing, brave, adventurous, fun and loyal character is deeply imprinted in each of his fan’s hearts. He is a kid’s best playmate and an unforgettable part of adults’ childhood memories.

The four stamps in these souvenir sheets feature images of Mickey from four of his classics: the 1928 debut “Steamboat Willie,” the 1940 “Fantasia,” the 1990 “The Prince and the Pauper,” and the 2004 “Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas.” This is the first Mickey Mouse collection in Taiwan featuring images of him from four different eras, making it highly collectible.

I like Disney cartoons and I like Mickey Mouse. When I was in my first year of junior high, one of my classmate was similar to Donald Duck.But I like Mickey Mouse more than Donald Duck!!! Because I think Mickey Mouse is much more cute!!!
