Aardman celebrates 40 years of creativity with new stamp collection

Famous for its humorous films about chickens in a prison camp and a cheese-loving eccentric with an eye for spaceship design, Academy Award-winning animation studio Aardman celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, the Isle of Man Post Office has created a special collection of stamps featuring some of the studio's most beloved characters.

The set of eight stamps includes six iconic moments from some of Aardman's most famous films, plus another two which feature specially created images of Morph visiting the Isle of Man. Set to be released on August 12th, the collection is available to pre-order now.
