That is sad news. He was my generations Mickey Mouse. I wonder who will be his predecessor and will Russi Taylor continue to do Minnie? I wish his family and friends all the best at this
difficult time.

I know. Another poster over at ToonZone said it best: "et tu, '09?"

My only consolation is knowing that, when Mr. Allwine got to heaven, Walt was there to shake his hand and thank him for taking such good care of Mickey for these thirty-some years.

Rest in peace, Mr. Allwine. Well done.

This is a shock. And Mr. Allwine is the first voice of Mickey who died while still being the voice. Walt Disney and James mcDonald were both still alive when they stopped voicing Mickey.

XERUS’S VOICE ARTIST FOCUS:

I just found out about the sad news about Wayne Allwine's passing. :cry: Wayne first voiced the world’s famous mouse in the 1977 series, The New Mickey Mouse Club, and continued to voice Mickey in many movies, cartoon series, specials, video games, and Disneyland attractions, along side his wife, Russi Taylor, who voiced Minnie Mouse. May you R.I.P, Mr. Wayne Allwine. Thank you for your many years of talented voice service to Disney.

My gosh. How old was he? I hope that his wife Russi Taylor is okay. It's kind of intersting though. He once siad that since he was the third Mickey Mouse voice, there was going to be a fourth, so I guess now is the time. We love you Wayne. :frown::sympathy:

I will miss Wayne Allwine! Because he was a Disney Legend! I always watched the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! And the Animated Film The three Musketeers too! I will miss him so much! Goes out to those family! Including Russi Taylor (Minnie)

That's so sad, :cry:, my thoughts go out to Russi Taylor and the rest of the family.

I also can't help but wonder if it will be hard for her to carry on performing Minnie Mouse, since she's been doing her voice almost as long as Wayne has been doing Mickey Mouse.

What a sad day. I honestly don't know what else to say. Not only have we lost our favorite mouse for the third time, but we lost a good person. My thoughts and prayers go out to Russi, and anyone and everyone else.

I heard there's a new Kingdom Hearts video game coming soon and it's supposed to be Wayne's final performance as Mickey.
