Mickey Mouse

  • Bret Iwan is best known as the voice of Mickey Mouse, but he is also a Disney fine artist and he has designed a line of clothing for the Walt Disney Company. He spoke with the Beyond the Mouse podcast about his time in Central Illinois and how he unexpectedly found himself auditioning to be the voice of the world's most famous mouse. He also shared his love of restoration projects and had the podcast hosts wondering "Is there anything Bret Iwan can't do?" Join the Beyond the Mouse podcast for this special interview to celebrate the 93rd birthday of Mickey Mouse!
