Today's post will be short and won't actually deal with my upcoming Walt Disney World trip.
The Walt Disney Co. has announced that Wayne Allwine, the voice of Mickey Mouse, passed away. Allwine began voicing the famous mouse in 1977 and continued being the voice of Mickey for the next 32 years. He has been heard in the many movies and TV shows featuring Mickey in the past 3 decades as well as the Disney parks. He was the third man to give life to Mickey, following Jimmy MacDonald and the original Mickey Mouse--Walt Disney, himself.
Allwine is survived by five children as well as his wife, Russi Taylor. Taylor is the voice of Minnie Mouse. He was only 62 years old. It is unknown at this time who will succeed him as the voice of Mickey Mouse.
Condolences to Russi Taylor and Allwine's children, as well as the Disney family.
