Allwine died - voice?


So, if Allwine died last year (2009), where is the Mickey voice currently coming from? Was all this stuff stamped "2010" already finished long ago?

reply

Evidently, he got that all finished before he passed away. And Mickey's new voice now is Bret Iwan.

"Mark well me words, mateys: Dead men tell no tales!"

reply

So what is this now like the 5th or 6th person bringing Mickey to life now?

reply

Burt Iwan is the 4th person to voice Mickey Mouse. Yet, he hasn't voiced Mickey in this series until possably either late last year or early this year.

reply

According to IMDb he still hasn't voiced Mickey in the series. How many could they possibly have recorded?

reply

According to IMDb he still hasn't voiced Mickey in the series.

True, but can you (or for that matter, anyone)answer this question, If that's true then why was Iwan's name was listed on the end credits for the episode that Minnie had her new Bow shop opened?(Eventhough it was for a few seconds).

reply

It's still Allwine and based on the dedication to someone else who died in 2009, I'm guessing Disney has a bunch of these in the can and is only releasing a few a year.

It could be the Indian company that does the animation (first time I'm aware of Disney outsourcing any animation except for Pixar) is simply behind on rendering, but it seems more like Disney stockpiling them and stamping the current year for release since they haven't all been released.

reply

Either way Irwan will be the voice for Mickey when the 4th season begins production. (In case Disney wants a 4th year.) Still, it's kinda of strange that Allwine recorded 2 years worth of shows before he died.

My daughter is watching a new episode, and the change in voice actor is really obvious.

reply

I agree, the newer episodes have Mickeys voice in a slightly lower register. Barely enough to notice, but it sent me here to look!

reply

Me too, my son was watching it and I kept thinking the voice sounded different, so I came to check.

reply

I don't think that's the new voice actor. I've looked up the credits for several episodes that have Mickey talking in a lower register, and they've all said Wayne Allwine. A Halloween episode aired last year, and it featured Bret Iwan as Mickey, and it sounded pretty close to Wayne Allwine.
