Minnie Mouse Has a New Voice and it’s Magical
Every since Russi Taylor passed away in July 2019, Disney fans have wondered who would take over the role as the voice of Minnie Mouse. The wait is over and Kaitlyn Robrock has taken on that role.
According to Wikipedia, Robrock has done “extensive voice work for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Disney Television Animation, Warner Bros. Animation and Marvel Entertainment.”
Social Media is Excited
The latest episode of Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures on Disney Junior lists Robrock as the voice of Minnie Mouse in their credits.
Fans on social media shared their excitement with the new voice for Minnie!

Some people even think there is a bit of a southern twist to Minnie’s new voice.
I love how Kaitlyn Robrock's Minnie voice has a slight Midwestern twang to it. pic.twitter.com/wCnue0JWzR

The Legacy of Russi Taylor
Russi Taylor had been the voice of Minnie Mouse for thirty years until she passed away from cancer at the age of 75.
At the time of her passing Bob Iger stated, “Minnie Mouse lost her voice with the passing of Russi Taylor. For more than 30 years, Minnie and Russi worked together to entertain millions around the world—a partnership that made Minnie a global icon and Russi a Disney Legend beloved by fans everywhere.”
Taking a Break From Social Media
We’re not sure if it’s coincidence or not, but once word got out that Robrock is voicing Minnie, she posted that she’d be taking a short break from Twitter.
