Wayne Allwine: The Voice of Mickey Mouse (1947-2009)

On May 18, 2009, Wayne Allwine, the voice of Mickey Mouse for 32 years, passed away at the age of 62. He was more than just the voice of Mickey; this man carried the tradition for OUR generation, both yound and old. He was a beloved father of 5 and husband, who's life was just cut too short; and it would have been an honor to have met him. This is the least I could do for a Disney legend. Not only does the human world mourn. Disney or not, the animated world weeps his passing.

It seemed like nobody here on YouTube thought of making a tribute like this, so I just had to do this for Wayne. Again, the very least I could do for a Disney legend.

You'll never be forgotten, Wayne.

NOTE: This is a video dedicated to Wayne, and IN NO WAY giving "karaoke singers" out there a chance to grab the instrumental of "One Jump Ahead (Reprise)". If ANY of you out there have the audacity to even do such a thing, AT LEAST credit the video you got it from.

Was it intentional that all of the more older characters are in tears and the more recent characters (post 1980s) are in a more lesser state of mourning?

[TonyWDA]

@EvilgidgitReturns Good eye, but it wasn't intentional; it just fell into place that way. Although, Ms. Potts and Simba seem to show a good deal of emotion. ;]

How did you get this song without the lyrics?

[TonyWDA]

@RyuichixCMZ I had to go into the film (Aladdin) and extract the score. A tad tricky, but it worked.

I hope the new guy Bret Iwan dose the voice of Mickey Mouse Justice and Right

May your Memory live on Wayne Allwine

[VanitasxAura]

Wayne Allwine was part of my childhood and when your a kid, you never realize how significant the smallest things are to you. When he died, I couldn't believe it. At least "Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days" was dedicated to him. He deserves it all.

RIP Wayne Allwine. You are loved by children and aldults everywhere.

I feel this way about Brittany Murphy, Heath Leger, and Michael Jackson.

R.I.P. to them all. T^T

wayne allwine was a very talented voice actor, I think he was possibly the one true actor to ever provide the voice of mickey mouse. I'm not sure about his new voice actor bret iwan, but if I do hear his voice I'll give my opinion. but there can never ever be another one like wayne allwine.
