Don Rickles passed away today

[Disney4family]

90 years young. Thank you for the laughs.

"I busted my bird for 60 years in the business, but my grandkids only know me as Mr. Potato Head," Rickles once joked, in an interview with Maxim.

I'm expecting a tribute to him for the upcoming D23.

It would be nice if they added him to the current list of 9 who will be honored.

Sad day for a lot of people with the passing of Don Rickles. A comedic legend, no doubt.

That being said, no, he should not be added to the list of "Disney Legends". The whole "Disney Legend" thing is becoming so watered down, and it needs to stop. Mark Hamill is NOT a "Disney Legend". Carrie Fisher is NOT a "Disney Legend". Oprah Winfrey is NOT a "Disney Legend". By the same token, Don Rickles is NOT a "Disney Legend".

I definitely agree. It's going to lose its meaning.

godspeed Don Rickles, my parents love him they even saw one of shows

 

[No Name]

Sad news. You will surely be missed. Thank you.

The Disney Legend award is being watered down, but that's not uncommon with awards that have no standard or limit on the number given out. I'm not a huge fan of awards like these. An unimaginable number of people have contributed to the company in an unimaginable number of ways, and I appreciate all of their contributions.

Just as I appreciate Don's.

Eh, I don't think being named a Disney Legend is losing it's meaning ... but Oprah? LOL, come on

Take it that Toy Story 4 has come to a screeching halt.

 

[Rteetz]

Take it that Toy Story 4 has come to a screeching halt.

And it was already pushed back.

Take it that Toy Story 4 has come to a screeching halt.

Not necessarily. When Jim Varney passed away, Blake Clark stepped in to fill the paws and springs of Slinky Dog.

 

[Princess Leia]

Take it that Toy Story 4 has come to a screeching halt.

Disney will probably just recast Mr. Potato Head.

As the movie is going to focus on Woody and Buzz going on an adventure to find Bo Peep, I'm not really sure there was much of a role for the Potato Heads.

Take it that Toy Story 4 has come to a screeching halt.

Tim Allen and tom hanks voices already recorded in 2015. But they should have worried more about someone pushing 90. Also movie was supposed relesed THIS YEAR!! But was stalled so other B movies like cars 3 and others wouldn't get embarrassed by ticket sales not even being HALF of Toy Story 4. Traggic and greed

Not in the slightest. Voice work is very easy to emulate and replace.

 

[Kman101]

Sounds like he hadn't voiced his role before his passing

They could always use past voice tracks, depends on what they wrote (and they're currently doing rewrites)
