"He taught us about heroism, loyalty and perseverance. And now he is the star of his own feature film — 'Lightyear.' Just like Buzz, the Postal Service has also looked to the stars for inspiration. We have many stamps honoring NASA's accomplishments, including the space shuttle, and the Apollo program that took us to the moon. And then there are our STEM Education stamps that emphasize the importance of science, technology, engineering and math. The Postal Service takes great pride in honoring the very best of the nation through our stamp program. And Buzz Lightyear certainly fits that description. The Postal Service is proud to have worked with Disney and Pixar to bring the Go Beyond Forever stamp to both customers and Buzz fans."</span></span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Cronkhite was joined for the ceremony by Jan Coleman, vice president global marketing partnerships, representation and inclusion, at Walt Disney Studios</span></span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:small"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span></span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:small"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">"We couldn't be more excited to work with the United States Postal Service to give fans the opportunity to bring Buzz Lightyear home with them!

The movie takes place years before "Toy Story" and follows Buzz as he tries to get home after being marooned on a planet 4.2 million light-years from Earth. The movie highlights his heroics and explains the inspiration behind the toy millions have all come to know and love.</span></span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:small"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">"Toy Story", the world's first full-length, computer-animated feature film, became an instant classic. The original film was nominated for three Academy Awards. The three follow-up movies have been nominated for Academy Awards nine times, winning four awards. The four movies have also been nominated for numerous Golden Globe Awards and Grammy Awards, winning two of each. The American Film Institute listed "Toy Story" among its 100 Greatest American Movies. "Toy Story 3" and "Toy Story 4" are among the top 10 highest grossing animated films of all time.</span></span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:small"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">In 2008, a Buzz Lightyear action figure was launched aboard NASA's Space Shuttle Discovery. Upon boarding the International Space Station, Buzz Lightyear floated 220 miles above the Earth. Buzz's mission logs, filed during his 15-month orbit, supported NASA's educational efforts in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math).</span></span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:small"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Also in 2008, Buzz Lightyear debuted larger than life in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The four monster illustrations on this pane of 20 stamps invite interactivity with dozens of self-adhesive accessories on the selvage. The monster-ific accoutrements include cartoony voice balloons and thought bubbles with exclamations and salutations, hats and crowns, hearts, stars, crazy daisies and other fun flair.</p> <p>Art director Antonio Alcalá designed the pane with original artwork by Elise Gravel, author and illustrator of popular children's books.</p> <p>The first-day-of-issue event for the Message Monsters Forever stamp is free and open to the public. News of the stamp is being shared with the hashtag <strong>#MessageMonstersStamps.</strong></p> <p><strong>Who:</strong></p> <p>Jeffery A.

They'll ride through the mail, adapted by you, adding mirth to your messages.</p> <p>The 20 Message Monsters on the pane, in four different designs, invite you to enhance your mail with the included adhesive accessories. These little monsters are totally adorn-able. Make them yours and they're even more delightful!</p> <p>The stamp designs start with the playful illustrations of Elise Gravel, whose characters are frisky, fresh and full of fun. Colorful characters populating the pane include a roundish, rosy rascal with a sunny tummy; a silly, striped imp waving a four-armed howdy; a squiggly, squid-ly yellow critter with enough eyes to go around; and a reddish rapscallion in short shorts. Whimsical, wacky and inviting your inventiveness, these creatures appeal across generations.</p> <p>The Message Monster stamp dedication event falls during "<a href="https://www.thinkingofyouweekusa.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Thinking of You Week</em></a>," which runs Sept. 20–26. It was first launched in the United Kingdom in 2014 and brought to the United States in 2018 by the <a href="https://www.greetingcard.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Greeting Card Association</em></a><em>.</em> What better way to let someone know you're thinking of them than to send a funny, friendly monster through the mail?</p> <p>Customers may purchase stamps and other
