2017 International Day of Happiness Smurfs Stamps
The Smurfs deliver message of happiness on new stamps!
The United Nations Postal Administration celebrated the International Day of Happiness, March 20th, and promoted the sustainable development goals on stamps and labels featuring the cartoon characters The Smurfs. This pane of 10 $1.15 stamps and 10 labels is for use from the post office at U.N. headquarters in New York City, USA. Another pane was issued for the U.N post office at the Vienna International Center in Vienna, Austria.
The 20 U.N. stamps feature the cartoon characters The Smurfs as they appear in the upcoming animated movie Smurfs: The Lost Village.
The 10 $1.15 stamps and 10 labels show the goals - no poverty; clean water and sanitation; zero hunger; affordable and clean energy; good health and well-being; decent work and economic growth; quality eduction; industry, innovation and infrastructure; and gender equality.
The last stamp depicts a Smurf butterfly, and the se-tenant (side-by-side) label shows the emblem of the goals.
The remaining eight goals are illustrated on the 0.80 stamps and labels for use from the Vienna International Center in Vienna, Austria: life below water; reduced inequalities; life on land; sustainable cities and communities; peace, justice and strong institutions; responsible consumption and production; and partnership for the goals.
The other two 0.80 stamps depict the butterfly and a ladybug (Snappy Bug).
Additional Smurfs are pictured in the selvage of the panes. Inscriptions in the upper selvage mention the International Day of Happiness and the sustainable development goals. Inscribed in the lower left of each pane are “Join Team Smurfs For A Better World” and “#SmallSmurfsBigGoals.”
The stamp panes were unveiled March 18 as part of a ceremony at U.N. headquarters featuring three stars of the film: Mandy Patinkin (the voice of Papa Smurf), Demi Lovato (Smurfette), and Joe Manganiello (Hefty Smurf). Rorie Katz of the UNPA graphic design team adapted the Smurf images for the stamp designs. The UNPA also credited Sony Pictures Entertainment and the U.N. Department of Public Information.

There are been more Smurf Postage Stamps released in the past. In 2008, to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of The Smurfs, Belgium released several collectors sets. In 1996, France released special edition Smurf Message Stamps. There is another Smurf Stamp from Belgium from 1984 too!
Check them out!
