[The Butlin Boy]

Unofortunately another member of the cast died today. Paul Newman was the voice of Doc Hudson.
He is the second member of the cast to die alongside George Carlin who voiced Fillmore.

And may they both rest in peace. :cry:

Technically they are the second and 3rd member of the cast... Joe Ranft was number one... the Memoriam is to him the storyboard artist and first face and voice of Mater, alongside others!

But As You said Butlin..

May they rest in peace and the world never forget their contribution to it!

Very sad news indeed, though to say Paul Newman won't be forgotten would be an understatement.

Looking ahead to the future, and not meaning to sound insensitive, I do wonder what Pixar will do with his Doc Hudson character in the Cars sequel. I presume Newman would have returned to provide at least a few scenes, before the lead characters head off on this rumoured European tour?

Unrelated, a new series of 'Car Toons' (shorts based on the movie) are premiering on Disney Channel soon, mostly featuring Mater by the sound of it: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=5668
