Wow, I didn't realize she voice that many characters!

Wow, I didn't realize she voice that many characters.

Speaking of which, the latest Mickey Mouse short "Carried Away" was mostly Minnie singing to Mickey

With the new Firework show coming during the hoildays revolving around Minnie it might be one of last recordings depending on how many more shorts she had done before her passing..

It’s so obvious when Mickey changed over to the new guy. I expect this will be obvious too since I’ve grownup with her as the voice.

Frank Angones (Co-Exectutive Producer of Ducktales 2017) made a series of tweets paying tribute to her.

This is an absolute tragedy. I was thinking just a week or so ago about how Minnie will be impossible to replace once Russi dies. Best Minnie voice by far and Wayne was definitely the best post-Walt Mickey.

Devastating. I thought it was odd that the new Disneyland Paris Lion King show was 100% French, usually Mickey speaks French and Minnie always speaks in English, I guess she wasn't feeling well enough to record the lines perhaps? Very sad.

I am surprised by this.

I remember some of the stuff she did as voice actor. My younger brother and I knew her work back when growing up back the 1980s. My younger brother and I knew her voice from Ducktales and Muppet Babies besides Minnie Mouse.

RIP to a Disney legend and one of the voice actors that did voices on cartoons that I watched growing up.

I didn't realise she voiced so many different cartoon character, RIP. Mickey and Minnie are together in heaven.
