Wow. I knew about him and his work (and that he was married to the voice of Minnie Mouse), but I had no idea he was so young. His most recent work, _Mickey Mouse Clubhouse_, is pretty good as far as Blue’s Clues-style shows go (and has some catchy They Might Be Giants tunes to boot). “See ya real soon!”
