An Honorary Disney Family!

It is nice to know that Mickey and Minnie Mouse are voiced by people who are close to each other in age, as you can see. In fact, the ages of Bret Iwan and Kaitlyn Robrock are such that, in another life, Bill Farmer (current voice of Goofy and Pluto) and Tress MacNeille (current voice of Daisy Duck) are old enough to be Bret and Kaitlyn's parents.

That's why I put up this little collage of the actors and their respective characters (whom I have chosen based on this old short Disney did for the Barney's New York department store called "Electric Holiday") as something of an honorary family, because of the age difference between of Bret, Kaitlyn, Bill and Tress. As you can see, Bret and Kaitlyn (born in 1982 and '83, respectively) are the honorary son and daughter, while Bill and Tress (born in 1952 and '51, respectively) are their honorary father and mother.
And for good measure, here is a second collage/smattering, this one of the family's respective characters they voice:
Of course, where would that leave Tony Anselmo (voice of Donald Duck)? Maybe he could be the honorary uncle, which would make sense, as Donald is an uncle himself.
