U.S. Postal Service releasing Pixar Movie Stamps

The United States Postal Service has announced that they are going to release a series of stamps based on the films of Pixar in 2011. 

I rarely go to the post office these days or send letters to people. All my correspondence with friends and family is through e-mail, facebook, texting, phone, and skype. Even with most packages I send as gifts and such I order through Amazon and let then do all the shipping work. 

But Pixar stamps are cool, for those of you that actually still send letters through the mail! 

...the Postal Service was eager to work with the Walt Disney Company again, choosing to explore the Disney*Pixar films, which offer exciting, contemporary characters and strong themes involving family and friends.

This pane of 20 stamps includes five different designs featuring Pixar characters: Lightning McQueen and Mater from Cars (2006); Remy the rat and Linguini from Ratatouille (2007); Buzz Lightyear and two of the green, three-eyed aliens from Toy Story (1995); Carl Fredricksen and Dug from Up(2009); and the robot WALL*E from WALL*E (2008).

Since the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature was introduced in 2001, all seven Pixar films released since that time have been nominated and five of the seven have won, including Ratatouille,WALL*E and Up.

Sounds cool, but I don't think I'll be buying them for myself. How about you? The 2011 Disney/Pixar Send a Hello stamps will be released on August 19th 2011.
