EDIT: You guys were all the first to inform me about Wayne's passing...there's a lot I want to say, and yet I don't think I have the eloquence to say it. Just...rest in peace, Wayne. Your voice was a huge part of my childhood. When I hear Mickey's voice in my head, it's your emotive, energetic interpretation that shines through. You will be sorely, sorely missed, not just as a character actor, but as a person. My condolences go out to Russi, your family, Bill, Tony, and all who knew and loved you. It just won't be the same after you're gone. Thank you for all the memories.

This interview comes from the Walt Disney Treasures box set "Mickey Mouse in Living Color: Volume Two." Meet Wayne Allwine and Russi Taylor, the wed, real-life couple behind Mickey and Minnie Mouse ever since 1977 for Wayne, and 1986 for Russi. The two still voice the famous mouse duo today, and in my opinion, do an incredible job.

What I enjoy so much about Wayne's performance of MIckey is that it has this grounded quality that makes it more real, and a lot more enjoyable than the straight-up falsetto that people came to associate with Mickey after Walt's retirement as the character (Walt Disney, who will always be the best Mickey, of course). Wayne is a very, VERY close second, though, and has brought Mickey to the modern world in a beautiful, outstanding way.

The same goes for Russi's performance as the modern Minnie Mouse. The gorgeous range of emotion that she gives to that little character is incredible - there's a strength there, a heightened sense of comprehension, and a dash of sauciness...all without losing that dainty, ultra-femme persona that made Minnie who she was in the first place.

What really strikes me, though, about these two, is how well they play their characters off of each other. Mickey and Minnie's romantic banter, and their little spats, with each other have never felt so genuine.

So, thanks, Wayne and Russi - for doing such a marvelous job of bringing these characters into the new age and keeping them more than alive.

This interview of Tony Anselmo, today's voice actor for Donald Duck since Clarence "Ducky" Nash's tragic death in 1985, can be found in the Walt Disney Treasures box set "The Chronological Donald Duck: Volume Two."

I originally uploaded this earlier, and I think it got deleted because it was originally one long part. Let's find out if it was for another reason. 8|

There have only ever been two voice actors behind Donald Duck in the United States, as this interview will tell you, and both of them are phenomenal. Clarence "Ducky" Nash just didn't play Donald...he WAS Donald. And fate has led Tony Anselmo to fill Clarence's legendary shoes...and thus far Tony's been a marvel at it. For those who don't spend their lives studying and watching these cartoons (freaks like me, haha), the difference between Nash and Anselmo is seamless. Tony's performance of Donald is clear and well annunciated under all that quacking, which is quite a feat considering Donald Duck is one of the most difficult (and dangerously famous) voices to imitate. He's got it all the tricks down, too - the mischievous little laugh, the disappointed little "ohhh...", the legendary temper tantrum, the incoherent muttering that usually follows, and every single other Donald mannerism you can think of.

I'm sure when Nash's time was coming it must've been the most worrisome and depressing experience, thinking about how no one on Earth could possibly take on Donald's role (it's already proven to be such a mixed bag in the foreign markets). How lucky good ole Ducky spotted his successor and trained him so well, as Ducky only could. Rest in peace, Mr. Nash, and Mr. Anselmo, keep it up. You're doing swell.
