Bret Iwan is the fourth official voice of Mickey Mouse, following in the footsteps of Walt Disney himself.
The official voice of Mickey Mouse has called the job a ‘constant battle’ while giving insight as to just what goes into voicing the most iconic animated character in history. No pressure, right? As Disney celebrates its 100th anniversary as a company on October 16, its instantly recognisable mascot has been at the heart for almost as long – Mickey turns 95 on November 18, which was the date he made his debut in the animated short Steamboat Willie in 1928.
Taking on a role that sees him recreate such a well-recognised voice has seen Iwan – who also painted the official portrait of Mickey in honour of his 95th birthday – come under fire from some quarters of the Disney fanbase, the passion of whom produces some exacting standards and preferences. They take things very seriously, and Iwan is not immune to their criticism.
