Allwine voiced the rodent in Mickey's Christmas Carol, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and The Prince and the Pauper. He also voiced the character for Disney theme parks, television, radio and live stage events.
Allwine was born in Glendale in 1947. He started working for Disney in 1966. He then got into sound-effects working on Disney films like Splash and Three Men and a Baby.
Allwine leaves behind his wife, Russi Taylor, who did the voice of Minnie Mouse, and five children.
