We lost three legendary voices in 2026, but their work will never be forgotten 🕊️ In 2026, we said goodbye to Peter Cullen, Tom Kane, and Eric Bauza, three voice actors whose work reached across generations and helped define some of the characters millions grew up with. Peter Cullen gave the world the unmistakable voice of Optimus Prime and the beloved melancholy of Eeyore, becoming one of the most recognizable voices in animation history. Tom Kane became a defining voice of Professor Utonium, and throughout the Star Wars universe, most notably as Yoda and Admiral Ackbar, while also narrating every episode of The Clone Wars and lending his voice to countless other characters. And Eric Bauza, who passed away at just 46, carried the legacy of classic animation into a new generation as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Tweety, Road Runner and many more. His work earned him three Children’s & Family Emmy Awards. Their voices could sound completely different, but they shared something important: the ability to make fictional characters feel alive. Optimus Prime, Yoda, Bugs Bunny and countless others will continue speaking through the performances they left behind. We may have lost the voices, but we will never lose the characters they gave us. Their work will keep speaking for generations to come. 🕊️❤️

Ichigo's journey finally ends today after 22 years 🥲⚔️ Bleach will air its final TV anime episode bringing the Thousand-Year Blood War and a journey that began with the original anime in 2004 to its long-awaited conclusion.
