We can all take solace in the thought that Wayne's work made us smile, a lot, and will live on due to the magic of the medium. "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

Wayne Allwine definitely took an iconic character beloved by many and made him his own. I am truly sad to hear of this great voice-over artist's passing.... but take comfort in the fact that his talent and work will live on for many to enjoy in years to come.

As one of only three regular voices for Mickey, he was in some pretty elite company. Whoever the next person is to voice Mickey on a regular basis will have to MIGHTY big shoes to fill. By thy side, John "Figaro" Norris This is very sad news. As one of only three regular voices for Mickey, he was in some pretty elite company.

He will be missed, even by those who never actually knew who he was. Things will just seem not quite right when they listen to Mickey and they won't know why. We should all hope to have as impactful and interesting a career! What a fantastic talent and career. He will be missed, even by those who never actually knew who he was.

I watch him every morning on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with my two-year-old twins. They love the show, and they both love Mickey Mouse because of Mr. Allwine's contributions. His passing is a real loss to the the VO industry, Disney, and children's television the world over. Thanks for the memories, Mr. Allwine! Wayne was a real talent.
