the G-man of Zur-En-Arrh the G-man of Zur-En-Arrh I've Done Worse Registered: Fri May 16 2003 Posts: 27075 Loc: the Obamanation	AICN: The voice of Snoopy is gone. The great Bill Melendez, who animated everybody from Mickey Mouse and Bambi to Bugs Bunny and Charlie Brown, passed away Tuesday at age 91. An Oscar nominee and 8-time Emmy winner, Melendez was the only filmmaker Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz allowed to oversee the animated versions of Charlie Brown and Snoopy --- in 68 TV specials, four feature films and more than 372 commercials. His first directorial effort was 1965’s “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” His last was 2006’s “He’s A Bully, Charlie Brown.” Audiences should especially revere Melendez, the only adult among the Peanuts voice cast, because his vocalizations for Charlie Brown’s famous beagle (who managed to “talk” without words) were always so inspired. Geez. That's weird, given how we were talking about "Snoopy Come Home" so much this past week.
