It doesn't get any more sad than this...Wayne Allwine, the voice of Mickey Mouse for the last 3 decades, has passed away.I was always fascinated with Mr. Allwine. I often wondered what it would be like to be the voice of one of the worlds most famous pop icons while still being able to live life anonymously. It should be noted that this man was an extremely hard and dedicated worker. Think of the various commercials, shows, movies, theme park rides, video games, albums, etc... over the last 30 so years that have Mickey Mouse on them....

I realize that I'm (we're) biased; some things get more coverage than others, etc. Pixar's Up being one of those. In fact if you'll notice the post directly preceding this one you'll notice a loving picture of one of Carl in his youth, This doesn't really have any journalistic merit, it's about fan appreciation, or in this case adoration. Up looks great and with only 9 days to go until its release I'm more excited than ever. So I hope you'll excuse another Up post, or link rather, and remember that we're all just fans at this site. That being said, you are more than welcome to join us.Anyway, The NY Times has a great article...
