<P> Mickey has recently been announced to star in two films . One is being based on the Magic Kingdom theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort, while the other is a film idea pitched by Walt Disney Animation Studios veteran Burny Mattinson centering on Mickey, Donald, and Goofy . </P> <P> Since June 28, 2013, Disney Channel has been airing new 3 - minute Mickey Mouse shorts, with animator Paul Rudish at the helm, incorporating elements of Mickey's late twenties - early thirties look with a contemporary twist . </P> <P> A large part of Mickey's screen persona is his famously shy, falsetto voice . From 1928 onward, Mickey was voiced by Walt Disney himself, a task in which Disney took great personal pride . However, by 1946, Disney was becoming too busy with running the studio to do regular voice work which meant he could not do Mickey's voice anymore . It is also speculated that his cigarette habit had damaged his voice over the years . After recording the Mickey and the Beanstalk section of Fun and Fancy Free, Mickey's voice was handed over to veteran Disney musician and actor Jimmy MacDonald . MacDonald voiced Mickey in the remainder of the theatrical shorts, and for various television and publicity projects up until his retirement in the mid-1970s, although Walt voiced Mickey again for the introductions to the original 1955--1959 run of The Mickey Mouse Club TV series, the "Fourth Anniversary Show" episode of the Disneyland TV series that aired on September 11, 1958, and the Disneyland USA at Radio City Music Hall show from 1962 . Composer Carl W. Stalling was the very first person to provide lines for Mickey in the 1929 short The Karnival Kid . Clarence Nash voiced Mickey in the 1934 Disney short, The Dognapper; around the time when it was filmed, Walt was traveling in Europe and was unavailable to record his lines for Mickey for the short . Along with Disney, J. Donald Wilson, Joe Twerp, and John Hiestand provided the voice in 1938 broadcasts of The Mickey Mouse Theater of the Air . Stan Freberg voiced Mickey in the Freberg - produced record Mickey Mouse's Birthday Party . Alan Young voiced Mickey in the Disneyland record album An Adaptation of Dickens' Christmas Carol, Performed by The Walt Disney Players in 1974, which it would be the first and only time that Alan Young voices him . </P> <P> The 1983 short film Mickey's Christmas Carol marked the theatrical debut of Wayne Allwine as Mickey Mouse, who was the official voice of Mickey from 1977 until his death in 2009 . Allwine once recounted something MacDonald had told him about voicing Mickey: "The main piece of advice that Jim gave me about Mickey helped me keep things in perspective . He said,' Just remember kid, you're only filling in for the boss .' And that's the way he treated doing Mickey for years and years . From Walt, and now from Jimmy ." In 1991, Allwine married Russi Taylor, the voice of Minnie Mouse since 1986 . Les Perkins did the voice of Mickey in two TV specials, "Down and Out with Donald Duck" and "DTV Valentine" in the mid-1980s . Peter Renaday voiced Mickey in the 1980s Disney albums Yankee Doodle Mickey and Mickey Mouse Splashdance . He also provided his voice for The Talking Mickey Mouse toy in 1986 . Quinton Flynn briefly filled in for Allwine as the voice of Mickey in a few episodes of the first season of Mickey Mouse Works whenever Allwine was unavailable to record . </P>
