R.I.P. Richard "Dickie" Jones, the voice of Pinocchio.

I just read some very sad news. Richard "Dickie" Percy Jones, who is best known for voicing the title character in 'Pinnochio' has just passed away at the age of 87. 'Pinnochio' is a wonderful film and his voice acting was perfect for the part. He also appeared in many western films. R.I.P. Mr. Jones.

Since it's been so many years, the number of actors who did voices in Walt's cartoons who are still alive is not quite as big. At least there's still Kathryn Beaumont ('Alice in Wonderland' & 'Peter Pan'), Mary Costa ('Sleeping Beauty'), Donnie Dunagan and Peter Behn ('Bambi'), and some actors from 'One Hundred and One Dalmatians'). There's also still June Foray, who's done plenty of them, and William Phipps (the speaking voice of Prince Charming from 'Cinderella').

ETA: I can't believe I forgot Bruce Reitherman ('The Jungle Book')
