Goodbye, Wayne Allwine

[TheLegoWizzard]

mickey lost his voice because his voice wanye died dont worry mickey youll get a new voice :(

[mari5496]

aaawwww so sad!!

[Treemeadow]

of all the Allwine tributes I've watched, this was the first one to make me cry.

That was the first Mickey peformed by Wayne. I grew up with this Mickey. He will always be in my heart.

[GreenCollegeMan]

Wayne Allwine Left Too Soon. ):

[southpark34005]

How mournful...*sigh* R.I.P. Wayne Allwine...Amen. :(

[Yert3579]

Wait... I didn't know that he died...

[Bman8873]

Now the greedy people who run Disney today took over and took away all the magic

[Bman8873]

Now te greedy

[kaigreg]

Tiny tim

[TheDisneyFactor101]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... :(

[leftymu]

Saying Wayne's death is more sad than Michael Jackson's is kind of a no-brainer. Talented actor who meant a lot to people, or some crap, psychopathic, over rated pop singer.

[RoCKbOy245]

Rest in Peace Wayne Allwine. You are one of Disney's legends.

[PREZILLA2009]

why????........

[HanakoFairhall]

@PREZILLA2009 *sighs* It's a cruel world...and unfortunately he had complications from Diabetes..

[ultrasasuke2]

I bet I wasn't the only one that got chills when watching this.

[origamipein18]

Rest in Peace, Mr. Allwine.: (

[menslady125]

Why? Why did Wayne Allwine have to go?

[BethGoth15]

@menslady125 Because he wanted to.

[menslady125]

@BethGoth15:

Wanted to? What's that supposed to mean?

[BethGoth15]

@menslady125 I was trying to be poetic, ha. What I meant was that it was his time, basically.

[menslady125]

@BethGoth15:

Oh...well...it's...it's still very heartbreaking.

[PrincessEli82]

I wish we could've helped Wayne but no one could help him. But we'll always remember how great he was. We'll also remember Patrick Swayze and Brittany Murphy too.

[naruto52222222222222]

Its fucked up how Disney Channel didn't do anything about his death ALLWINE WAS THE REASON WHY WALT DISNEY'S LEGACY CONTINUED right now Walt Disney and Wayne Allwine are looking down to Disney Channel and shaking their heads because of Disney Channels SLUT MILEY CYRCUS and the new dumbass original series Phienas and Fucking Ferb are taking over it don't let me get into High School Musical

[KnightBoi84]

I was able to meet Wayne and Russi during my time at the Walt Disney Studios and esp. work with the Disney Character Voices group in 2008. They were such an amazing duo! God bless you Wayne and you will always have people to look after Russi.

[ZMommaL56]

Good-bye Wayne Allwine. I wish I made an effort to get to know you better these past years.

[Videot01]

The new mickey isn't that bad, but he's gotta a long way to go before he reaches Wayne Allwine status.

[SavageBroadcast]

Even in the darkest moments, you were one of the lights of all our childhood.

RIP Wayne. May your memory live on....

[R0ckG1r7]

Mr. Allwine is happy now...Russi Taylor is doing all right as well...

(Fun fact: Russi Taylor, now Mr. Allwine's widow, is the voice of Minnie Mouse.)

[HanakoFairhall]

@R0ckG1r7 Yeah, I Knew that, it's quite a fun fact, isn't it?

[R0ckG1r7]

@HanakoFairhall

I know! Of all the Hollywood couples, they was my favorite~

[NismoCJ]

the one who dont like this video is just a piece of ice

[Buffy8Fan]

My mom told me that Mickey Mouse was how I got addicted to television.

[Wielder432]

So they went back to pencil drawing in this one. Gee, finally.

[HanakoFairhall]

@Wielder432 this was made back in the 1980s, it was Wayne Allwine's first film as Mickey Mouse

[elmickeyman]

Fiitting

[RedNForcer]

Eventhough Wayne had been lost,his legacy as Mickey will live on.

[PikachuColoredPichu1]

Oh, I really can't take this! I know it's been a year, but his death really slammed me! I grew up with his voice in the first twenty years of my life, and now he's gone...well, we still have Tony Anselmo, Jim Cummings, Bill Farmer, the best Disney voices I know of...

[PikachuColoredPichu1]

You know, in the opening to Epic Mickey, there is a tear-off calendar in Mickey's bedroom, which goes off as the years went by, mirroring Mickey's rise to fame and legend. The second-to-last pic torn off had a screencap of Mickey mourning Tiny Tim's loss, so I theorized that he's also mourning Wayne's passing...

[bricknard]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!! T_T WHY WHY DAMIT WHY MUST A GREAT PERSON DIE IT'S NOT FAI T_T HE WAS THE GREATEST VOICE ACTOR EVERY IT'S NO FAIR I TELL YA ! T_T

[narutoexe1]

This is beautiful. Like Mickey saying goodbye to his old voice.

[Alanoskita]

This made me cry... :'( R.I.P Wayne we'll miss ya

[Jasupi911]

dude... i nearly cried in this =(

[AimsRaNDomstudioZ]

That made me cry!

[itsmecarab]

that was very sweet. good job

[Random90sKid]

@asd2hot5 then,why are you watching this?

[anime12374]

TT-TT

[bakacrow]

Wow, this really tore me up.

[MsChandlerJohnson]

I have to say, seeing Mickey Mouse cry makes this video even more depressing.

[getouthemaps]

This is so sad.

[wallywardsgirl]

Rest in Peace, Mr. Allwine

[DragoneyesLC]

I was born the May after he did this role, and I grew up with Allwine's Mickey! I loved him SO much, I have to say my very first word was Mickey. :) Rest in Peace dear Wayne Allwine! I know I will greatly miss you and your talent!!

[underpathunderpath]

Out of curiosity, why was Micky crying in this scene?  I have never seen this film before.

[HanakoFairhall]

@underpathunderpath This was Disney's animated adaption of A Christmas Carol (and Wayne Allwine's first movie role as Mickey) Mickey is playing the part of Bob Cratchit, and this is the point in the film where Tiny Tim is dead.

[underpathunderpath]

@HanakoFairhall Thank you for the information, sir.  Sheesh, I never got so depressed at a cartoon scene in my life.

[HanakoFairhall]

@underpathunderpath Ooop, well, I don't know if you know the original story, but Tiny Tim doesn't actually die, the graveyard scene is just a vision of the future shown to Scrooge by the spirit of Christmas Yet to Come

[RorySeizeTheDay]

I feel terrible, He died on me and my mother's birthday.  :(

[ukhistorian]

Bet this how Mickey felt when Walt died too.

[TruhbleMan]

Rest in peace, Allwine. Rest in peace...

[Katieboo1996]

this is even more sad then Michael Jackson's death

[HanakoFairhall]

@Katieboo1996 I think it's the same, but yeah, I can understand it being a bigger shock.

[Danachii]

I feel really ashamed about hearing this news so late. Mickey Mouse was my biggest childhood hero, and he always will be. No matter how many times they find new voice actor's for Mickey for generations to come, Wayne will always be my Mickey Mouse. <33 RIP Wayne Allwine. I miss you so much already. ):

[wolfalynn]

goodbye wayne

[shadowgoo112]

WOW when did this happen :'( NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[HanakoFairhall]

@shadowgoo112 This happened last May (May 2009)

[ccproject72]

tragic

[Mattrules64]

that was lovely it really gave out the message

[queenesther09]

If it's any consolence to you guys, I've heard the new guy in the Disney Ice show celebrations, and in my opinion if you don't listen closely, its hard to tell the difference. I think Mr. Iwan will prove a worthy succesor in time.

[HanakoFairhall]

@queenesther09 Really? That's good to know =)

[Takorycoden]

just found out he was married to minnie the year i was born. makes me even more sad. :'(

[VoiceActor4Disney]

RIP Wayne. You are missed.

[HanakoFairhall]

@VoiceActor4Disney *nod*....

[tigerqueen007]

No one can play Mickey better than Wayne. Who will be Mickey now?

[HanakoFairhall]

@tigerqueen00- from what I gather, it will

be a former Hallmark employee and an

American voice actor named Bret Iwan.

His first full role of Mickey will be heard in

the PSP game Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep.

[tigerqueen007]

@HanakoFairhall Was he good?

[HanakoFairhall]

@tigerqueen007 The Game hasn't been

released yet, I can try and look up his voice

on youtube though.

[Takorycoden]

@HanakoFairhall : god we are all going to be hanging on the edge of our seat till we hear his voice. i hope he is good.

[HanakoFairhall]

@Takorycoden Yeah, me too..

[MissGeorgieBabey]

RIP Wayne Allwine, you will be missed..

[MsAnimefan95]

Well, there goes my childhood.

[ZMommaL56]

Take care in heaven Wayne.

[FairyofCritics]

He will be severely missed...his charming voice is truly great.

Rest in Peace Wayne Allwine, rest in peace.

[MrFunsockz]

I can't think of a better way to honor such a brilliant voice actor, than with the character he brought a voice to, and that we have all grown up with.

[HanakoFairhall]

Why thank you! ^__^

Yeah, this was the best I could come up with, I'm glad everyone thinks it's appropriate ^^;

[ThePrincesslollie]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!­!!!i....i....i never knew who.....who was talking for mickey....but...but...but mickey was my fav cartoon from when i was born!!!!!i love mickey mouse :3

[MickeyMouseMyHero]

I'm gonna miss his wonderful and very warming falsetto voice of Mickey. Mickey's voice had warm me up during my childhood. May you Rest in Peace Mr. Allwine. We will always remember you.

[HanakoFairhall]

Yes, he will indeed be missed.

Thanks for the comment <3

[ZMommaL56]

I'm sure he'll take good care of Brittany Murphy. She's in heaven now too.

[Davehoekst]

Rest In Peace Mr. Allwine... You will be greatly missed and your work is greatly appreciated by children of all ages.

(By the way, did you guys know he and the voice of Minnie Mouse were married in real life?)

[CrimsonNineTail]

This movie clip is appropriate to use. It was the first time Mr. Allwine was crowned as the new voice to Mickey Mouse.

[SkullKid2000]

Mickey Mouse will never ever die... toons can't die :*)

[SkullKid2000]

Rest In Peace Wayne Allwine... I will never forget you... your magnificent work... You Are A Legend... :*(

[thesimpsonscollector]

When I found out Wayne died, I was so crushed. I spent the 1st ten years of my life watching Mickey Mouse and now he's gone. Basically, Mickey was my world. :(

Hope Bret is just as good.

[GoopLoopScoop]

he is my world, not to mention he died from the same disease that i have.

[haribo004]

i can't believe i just found out about his passing! i actually started crying when i saw this video. i'm a huge disney freak and this is like ripping out my childhood! I've never known a Mickey voice that's not Wayne Allwine! He will be sorely missed.

[HanakoFairhall]

Aww! I'm sorry to hear it had such a strong effect on you!

Yes, he shall be very much missed *hug*

[haribo004]

haha, you don't have to be sorry for it :P

it was just deeply moving! (which i suppose would be a good thing)

[JmoBlast]

without him the kingdom hearts saga will never be the same, wayne allwine we salute u :(

[rockies77]

Well, the Walt Disney company found another "unknown" voice actor to do Mickey Mouse. His name is Bret Iwan. This is going to be interesting, if any of Wayne Allwine's voicework would still be used in the parks and other works, once this person takes over.

[HanakoFairhall]

So, this guy's gonna fill ol' Wayne's shoes, huh?

I look forward to hearing his voice.

[rockies77]

Me, too. However, he cannot replace Wayne's voice. So many of us grew up with him doing Mickey Mouse's voice.

[HanakoFairhall]

Yeah, that's true, I saw a 3D animated movie with Mickey in it yesterday at work, and I was like "Aw Wayne, I still miss you.."

[DeadmanInc336]

You won't be disappointed. Bret Iwan's Mickey Mouse sounds exactly alike to Wayne's Mickey Mouse. You really can't tell the difference which is a good thing.

[HanakoFairhall]

That's a relief ^^

[JayFoxFire]

really? where did you hear it? I want to hear him  too

[DeadmanInc336]

Somebody recorded video from the newest Disney On Ice event. That was Bret's first role as Mickey.

[ZMommaL56]

My grandfather died of diabetes complications too. But He died February 15, 2009. He was almost 85.

[pkg2k]

This scene says it all. All three 3 guys who have voiced him are gone now. Mickey has no voice...for now. But he'll get it back...if they find it.

[JayFoxFire]

They found a new voice actor for Mickey, his name is Bret Iwan

[freesemag]

but still sad that this guy died i liked his voice in Kingdom Hearts

[INUYASHA12398]

yeah kingdom hearts wont really be the same anymore

[joshualiu1993]

Man Wayne Allwine you shouldn't have passed away. but you Did now.

[ScarecrowCruz]

The king of Disney Castle... we salute you! Mickey Mouse will never be the same again. (this news actually sincerely made me cry) thanks for the awsome tribute 5 out of 5

[HanakoFairhall]

That is quite true, but I can imagine they shall find an excellent actor, even if it will not be the same.

You are very welcome.

[queenesther09]

It breaks my heart more than anything to see Mickey so sad :'(.....this scene makes me want to hug him and say it'll be okay.

[HanakoFairhall]

I'm sure Mickey would really appreciate it if you did just that; fourth wall style.

[urchinawsome3000]

Not only had i not known when he died but i didn't know the guys name... bye Allwine :'(

[dadogster]

That vid is one of the best tributes.

[HanakoFairhall]

wow, I guess simple really is best, thanks.

[rockies77]

HanakoFairhall, it is me again. Just cannot believe that it has been over a month, since Wayne Allwine's passing. His funeral was such a secret that no one seems to know whether he was buried or cremated at this time.

[HanakoFairhall]

Well, I'm sure we'll find out eventually, if Russi Taylor chooses to tell us.

[ariandanehkar123]

hi u seen the funeral of wayne allwine do u have the video clip please when he died.

[rockies77]

No one has any clips. In fact, it was in private, since it has been over a month since he died. Besides, no one has ever mentioned that he had 3 or 4 children from a previous marriage to an unknown woman. That is how secretive the whole scene is. I guess that Russi Taylor doesn't want his gravesite or cremated remains to be known.

[marioandsonic]

Wow...well done.

[HanakoFairhall]

Thank you, It was the best I could think of.

[queenesther09]

My prayers are with you, Russi Taylor. If people who didn't really know him are so sad, I can't imagine how you must be feeling. I'm so sorry :'(

[HanakoFairhall]

I'm sure Russi Taylor will greatly appreciate that.

I don't want to sound unsympathetic when I say this(I'm very sympathetic toward Russi Taylor)

But she probably saw this coming, it was us whom the shock came to.

[Yoda366]

wow Rip no one can take your place in kingdom hearts u were truly the best

[huntress1863]

The first time I saw this clip in "Mickey's Christmas Carol," I was sad for Mickey...

Hearing about his death and seeing this clip again, I'm on the verge of tears..

Our prayers and thoughts are with you, Russi Taylor and family/friends of Wayne Alwine..

Wayne Alwine (1947-2009)

[HanakoFairhall]

Nicely said, I'm sure his wife and family will appreciate this(if they see it)

[celtickid1683]

R.I.P Wayne, Disney will never be the same without you :'(

You truly brought the magic to life :(

[HanakoFairhall]

I'm sure they'll appreciate that =)

[theskatersora]

short but the most sweetest thing i am literlatly crying!

[bunnie444]

*sniff* RIP Wayne Allwine

[cgarris]

This guy really brought Mickey to life in so many ways. I'll forget his voice especially in Kingdom Hearts.

[cgarris]

Actually that was I'll never forget his voice especially in Kingdom Hearts.

Sorry about that

[HanakoFairhall]

I thought that's what you meant, it's alright.

I've never played Kingdom Hearts, but I saw video clips, he didn't do too badly.

[PhycoDreamer]

it is a sad loss....but all i can say to him is "Hope whatevers after all this is fun for you Mr Allwine."

[HanakoFairhall]

I'm sure Wayne Allwine is having a blast, wherever he may be.

[PhycoDreamer]

Especially since he'll get to meet Disney, the man himself. He may be gone but he, is not forgotten.

[HanakoFairhall]

Hear hear.

[1PrincessFiona]

Oh my god I just found. I can't believe it I can't contain my tears it's so sad may he rest in peace ;(.

[HanakoFairhall]

Alas, he died on May 19 :'(

[HanakoFairhall]

Sorry, the 18th :'(

[bonniepotter91]

I'm sorry, Mickey! ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;-(

[MaxieTheThird]

RIP, Wayne. But Mickey's already dying due to the new Disney...

[HanakoFairhall]

Not with John Lasseter running things, I hope..

[JohnSilverfan01]

Never. "We will never lose sight of one thing. . . that it was all started by a mouse."

Mickey will never ever be left behind no matter what.

[johntheechidna1]

Amen to that.

[soradrago]

allwine, ill enjoy the times that i and everyone else had with you. you were one of the best people that EVERYONE new, and will allways know. good night sweet prince and rest in peace.  ~soradrago

[KingMasterReview]

RIP wayne allwine. god bless he's soul.

[HanakoFairhall]

Hear Hear.

[hemanshera777]

This is one thing that he, and Jim Henson now, officialy have in common;

Wayne maybe gone, but he'll always be inside our hearts, beleiving in everyone.

[HanakoFairhall]

Tis' True.

[TiagoJ7T]

I'll miss you, Wayne Allwine. Mickey was always a great character to me.

[HanakoFairhall]

*nods*

[PrincessofPepperland]

Aww! Poor Mickey.

I'm gonna miss Allwine's Mickey voice. :(

[HanakoFairhall]

Yeah, I shall too..

[itookyergurl]

r.i.p wayne..

[ILoveRedwall]

Ah, but life moves on... Wayne did his part as Mickey and we should remember that everything happens for a reason. Why, if Wayne was still alive and talking as Mickey he'd say, "Aww, come on now fellas, don't grieve for me. I've been Mickey a long time and have dearly enjoyed it, but rest assured, whoever comes in my wake must love the character, as Walt and I have, always..." And his Majesty would say, " Don't worry; I will always be in your heart, so don't let go of the light."

[blinkhawksk8er]

nice

[hemanshera777]

I agree.

Someday, like Wayne once said, there WILL be a fourth voice for this mouse, just like He himself had said.

[HanakoFairhall]

(nods) you are correct, no goodbyes, just good memories

[GoLd3nPho3niX]

=( brought tears to my eyes! Rest in piece Wayne He will be missed dearly <3

[HanakoFairhall]

He will indeed ='(

[KazuyaPrower]

Farewell, Wayne. You'll go down in history as a legend and the man who brought new life into Mickey Mouse.

[HanakoFairhall]

(nod) nicely said

[punksaske93]

all those great memories that gave us

RIP Wayne Alwine you really are the greatest one

thanks for all those times with mickey that made us laugh

[HanakoFairhall]

I'm sure he'll appreciate this.

[vigo894]

Mister Allwine, thank you for the thirty-two years of joy that you gave us. The light of

the Disney Company is a lot dimmer

now without you.

[HanakoFairhall]

Nicely said, I'm sure he'll appreciate that comment

[morris1113]

this got em close to crying hard

[HanakoFairhall]

yeesh, I didn't expect this video to have that kind of effect o-o
