While I am in possession of many different works of art that show off Mr. Iwan&#8217;s broad range, for obvious reasons, I&#8217;m focusing on the Disney elements.</p><p>For those wondering just how many projects Bret has been involved with to date, while I do not have an answer as of yet, I can definitively say that Bret had gone out to visit Disney Character Voices, International back in April (which is prior to Wayne Allwine&#8217;s passing) and has since moved to the Los Angeles area.</p><p>We&#8217;ve actually managed to learn a lot about Bret over the past day or so in our research. Some of these facts we&#8217;re holding on to, but we learned for example that Mr. Iwan graduated from the prestigious Ringling College of Art and Design in 2004.</p><p>Pending additional updates, please enjoy the following. Please note I do not have permission to re-post these images so they are subject to be removed at any time at the request of Bret Iwan and/or their current copyright holders.</p><div class="ngg-galleryoverview" id="ngg-gallery-55-4561"><div class="piclenselink"> <a class="piclenselink" href="javascript:PicLensLite.start({feedUrl:'http://www.stitchkingdom.com/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/xml/media-rss.php?gid=55&amp;mode=gallery'});"> [View with PicLens] </a></div><div id="ngg-image-1184" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box" style="width:25%;" ><div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail" > <a class="highslide img_1" href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/wp-content/gallery/tds_paige_ohara/1006576886_disneysd-img_4945-pr.jpg" title=" "   onclick="return hs.expand(this)"> <img title="Paige O&amp;#039;Hara, the voice of Belle in Disney&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Beauty and the Beast&amp;quot;, at the unveling of the &amp;quot;Beauty and the Beast&amp;quot; Limited Edition Collection Mrs. Potts Tea during an exclusive &amp;quot;Beauty and the Beast&amp;quot; Tea Party to celebrate the Disney Store opening at Fashion Valley Mall on September 14, 2010 in San Diego, California.(Photo by Melissa Jacobs/Creative Keepsakes Photography/Wireimage)" alt="thumbs 1006576886 disneysd img 4945 pr Finding Mickey: Exploring the Art of Bret Iwan, Voice of Mickey Mouse" src="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/wp-content/gallery/tds_paige_ohara/thumbs/thumbs_1006576886_disneysd-img_4945-pr.jpg" width="100" height="66" /> </a></div></div><div id="ngg-image-1185" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box" style="width:25%;" ><div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail" > <a class="highslide img_2" href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/wp-content/gallery/tds_paige_ohara/1006576889_disneysd-img_4947-pr.jpg" title=" "   onclick="return hs.expand(this)"> <img title="Disney Store Cast member, presenting Paige O&amp;#039;Hara, the voice of Belle in Disney&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Beauty and the Beast&amp;quot;, with the &amp;quot;Beauty and the Beast&amp;quot; Limited Edition Collection Mrs. Potts Tea Set during an exclusive &amp;quot;Beauty and the Beast&amp;quot; Tea Party to celebrate the Disney Store opening at Fashion Valley Mall on September 14, 2010 in San Diego, California.
