Voice of Mickey Mouse dies in L.A. at 62
While I still have yet to get around to seeing "The Prince and the Pauper", I did enjoy "Mickey's Christmas Carol", and thought the Mickey segments of "Mickey Mouseworks" and "House of Mouse" were pretty funny (especially given how they've managed in recent years to make Mickey little more than a corporate logo or---per "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse"---a babysitter for preschoolers).
Interestingly, Allwine's wife, voice artist Russi Taylor, is the voice of Minnie Mouse.
Wonder who Disney will get to replace Allwine as Mickey's voice, or how long it'll take...
