#Wayne Allwine

Not the original 1930s voice actors, but the ones who voiced them through the Disney Renaissance: Wayne Allwine and Russi Taylor. They met on the set, got married in 1991, and stayed married until Allwine's death in 2009. Taylor died a decade later in 2019.

Marriages that last are rare in Hollywood, but if it was going to happen for anyone, it was Minnie and Mickey.

“My life has been spent working, in one capacity or another, for the Disney family. I consider it to be a very high calling, serving Walt's dream.”

Disney legend Wayne Allwine Would Have Been 76 Today.

I’m a massive Little Mermaid fan. I’ve had the theory that in the Daughters of Triton song, Russi Taylor (the voice of Minnie Mouse) is providing the final vocalization for the sisters (Alana’s). I actually wrote to her to ask her, but never got a reply and now that she’s passed there’s no way to write to her again. I was listening to that audio again and something clicked. I think she did most of the sister’s solo vocalizations when they say their name, the person who I think did the other part? Wayne Allwine (the voice of Mickey Mouse).

Hear me out, Wayne had been working as the voice of Mickey since 1977 and Russi since 1986 so they both would have been working with the studio during Little Mermaid’s production and you can hear a bit of a Mickey Mouse tone in the ones I theorized he sings for. If you listen to just the audio it sounds like:

Aquata: Russi Taylor

Andina: Russi Taylor (this one I’m slightly unsure about)

Arista: Wayne Allwine

Attina: Russi Taylor

Adella: Wayne Allwine

Alana: Russi Taylor

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the classic Disney cartoon "Mickey's Christmas Carol", so naturally I decided to draw a piece this Christmas to celebrate the occasion.

This anniversary year is a tad of a bittersweet occasion for the special. For one, Mark Henn, who was the supervising animator for Mickey, recently retired after 43 years of working with Disney. In addition to Mickey, he was mainly known as the "Disney Princess Guy", having a hand in designing and animating most of the Princesses from the Disney Renaissance era.

On a sadder note, early this year, Burny Matterson passed away. Burny was not only the director of "Mickey's Christmas Carol", but was also the longest serving employee of the Walt Disney company, being with the studio for 70 years until his death. The last major project the two worked together on was the short "Once Upon a Studio", a fitting finale to both of their Disney legacies.

Recently it hit me just how many people who have originally worked on the cartoon have passed on: Wayne Allwine who voiced Mickey, Alan Young who voiced Scrooge, Eddie Carroll who voiced Jiminy Cricket, Will Ryan who voiced Willie the Giant Ghost of Christmas Present, the original voice of Donald, Clarence Nash, and ton of others who I just don't have the time to mention. Though if there's one thing that remains certain throughout this special's various TV airings, worn-out VHS tapes, DVD and Blu-ray releases, and streaming on Disney+, they have all left a legacy that won't be forgotten anytime soon.

We wish we could see more of their work, but time marches on. That's enough work for tonight Bob Cratchit...

"And a bah-humbug-OH! I mean, a Merry Christmas to you sir!"

One of the bonus features on the DVD of the movie was the "Cast Commentary", where Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Pete comment five minutes of the movie. Chatting as the actors of the film.

With the voices of Wayne Allwine, Tony Anselmo, Bill Farmer and Jim Cummings.

Have you seen the fnf song vocal catastrophe where one sonic fights different versions of himself to keep control of the body while him and the other Sonics are internally fighting for the ��crown”?

Imagine that but Mickey.. there’s enough mickeys to make it interesting

Hold on I gotta look something up

Yeah this is awesome. Hearing Mickey’s different voices arguing with each other WOULD be pretty funny. Wayne Allwine and Chris Diamantopoulos gang rise UP

I gotta say, I don’t like how this mod is supposed to criticize how Sonic has “lost control of who he is vocally” like. I totally understand having a favorite voice actor but if you expect your favorite 30+ old character to have the same voice forever, you’re out of your mind. Also why did they add Junichi Kanemaru?? Dude’s literally the Japanese VA, of course he’s gonna sound different???

Or maybe I’m just salty bc Roger Craig Smith is currently my favorite English Sonic VA, and he’s the one Sonic “genwunners” tend to rag on out of nostalgia rather than any actual reason. Anyways

Welp. Time to reel the conversation back in. Imagine an absolute banger of a song interrupted by “Say fellas, did somebody mention the Door To Darkness?”

[mickeysclubhouse]

heard you were into lost media, what's your favourite piece so far?

don't really know if i have a favourite but recently i've found this video on twitter

by the looks of the background it appears to look like an animation prototype of clubhouse mickey the audio was obviously taken straight from an episode of house of mouse

Fun Facts of the Week!!

Mickey might be the most famous mouse in the world, but Walt Disney’s first cartoon character was actually a rabbit named Oswald.

If you’re walking down Main Street and you suddenly crave popcorn, blame the scent machines. The Disney Smellitizer (a machine patented by Disney Imagineering) emits different scents throughout the theme parks.

Mickey and Minnie are married in real life! Wayne Anthony Allwine, who voiced Mickey for over three decades, married Russi Taylor, who played Minnie.

The Pizza Planet delivery truck from Toy Story makes a cameo appearance in every Pixar film except for The Incredibles.

Buzz Lightyear was originally going to be named Lunar Larry.

The color of Elsa’s ice palace in Frozen changes with her mood, from purple when she’s sad to blue when she’s happy and red when she’s scared.

Disney hides classic characters in the backgrounds of its animated films. For example, Mickey, Goofy and Donald all appear in the opening sequence of The Little Mermaid.

A Christmas Carol Holiday Season: "Mickey's Christmas Carol" (1983 animated short)

This 25-minute Christmas Carol was a landmark for the Walt Disney Company in several ways. First of all, it was the first theatrical Mickey Mouse cartoon released since the 1950s. Secondly it marks the voice acting debut of Wayne Allwine as Mickey Mouse and Alan Young as Scrooge McDuck – characters they would voice until their respective deaths in 2009 and 2016 – as well as the last time Donald Duck was voiced by his original actor, Clarence "Ducky" Nash.

The cartoon's premise is simple: A Christmas Carol starring Disney's iconic animal characters. Scrooge McDuck stars as his own namesake, Ebenezer Scrooge, with Mickey Mouse as Bob Cratchit, and Scrooge's "real-life" nephew Donald Duck as Fred. Goofy is cast as a uniquely clumsy, comical version of Marley's Ghost, while the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future are portrayed by Jiminy Cricket, Willie the Giant from Mickey and the Beanstalk, and (spoiler alert) Peg-Leg Pete. Daisy Duck appears as young Scrooge's fiancée Isabelle (as she's named here), Minnie Mouse makes a silent cameo appearance as Mrs. Cratchit, and the supporting and background roles consist of many familiar figures from Disney's classic Silly Symphonies and animated features.

Predictably, the story is retold in a concise, abbreviated way. Christmas Past omits Scrooge's childhood, Christmas Present consists only of visiting the Cratchits, and Christmas Future just shows Scrooge two graves, Tiny Tim's and his own. And for both comic and dramatic effect, the whole story is slightly exaggerated. Scrooge's villainy is cranked up: he only gives Bob half of Christmas Day off, without pay, and praises Jacob Marley for having "robbed from the widows and swindled the poor." The Cratchits' Christmas dinner consists of a bird literally as small as a canary. And at the climax (recalling Scrooge of 1970), Scrooge falls into his own grave toward a coffin from which hellish fire spews. But of course the ending is happy, as the redeemed Scrooge indulges the Cratchit children with toys and makes Bob his new partner.

Not all Dickens lovers will enjoy such a cartoonish retelling, but to me at least, it has enough charm to justify its lasting popularity. Even intertwined with slapstick and exaggeration, the story's emotions can still be felt: the brief, silent scene involving Tiny Tim's death, with a tearful Mickey/Bob placing Tim's crutch against his tombstone, is especially poignant. The cast of both new and veteran voice actors makes the most of their roles, the warm and colorful animation is of the quality we expect from Disney, and the main musical theme, "Oh What A Merry Christmas Day," is a sweet, memorable melody.

This cartoon can't replace a faithful adaptation of the book, but as a warm, funny, engaging Christmas Carol for children, it's a classic.
