This news will not be THUMPTASTIC to all Babar fans across the world.
The nations of America, Canada and Africa gathered Saturday for one last hurrah to say their final tributes and farewells to the lead role of the Babar children's books franchise, Gordon Pinsent who died on Saturday afternoon at the age of 93 years old.
From 1989 to 2015, he had the great fortune of lending his incredible voice to the Swahili world of this loveable friendly elephenat, originally created in 1931 by Jean de Brunholf. Pincent is also to give credit for the reboot and one of Disney Junior's first acquistions on its February 14, 2011 launch date, Babar and the Adventures of Badou which originally ran from 2010-2015.
Our hearts go out to the surviving members of his family who are mourning this loss and suffering through this very difficult time as we lose another legend of children's entertainment history. Without Pinsent, this loveable elephant's adventures would have never lasted this long and the Canadian polar bears at Nelvana would have never continued to make great kids programs to this day.
So we blow our trunks and shower down water in a raise of gratitude to this unforgetable man whose calm tone and wonderful adventures have touched the childhood hearts of millions worldwide. RIP Gordon. Thank you for all your years of contributions to the world of children's entertainment and your great reflection and interpretations of the African wildlife. You will be dearly missed.
RIP Babar the Elephant
Gordon Pinsent

Unfortunately, this bad news will NOT have you exclaim "Peri pocus hocus crocus!"
We are so saddened to report the death of Jansen Panettiere, the actor who got his first job as the third and final original voice actor of Blue Traci Paige Johnson's next door neighbor Periwinkle the cat in the Season 6 final season of the original run of Nick Jr./Noggin's groundbreaking Emmy®-nominated preschool series franchise Blue's Clues who died Sunday at the age of 29.

He also contributed to the 2004 Disney Channel Original Movie (DCOM) Tigers Crusie when he was just 10 years old.
Our hearts and consoldences go out to his brother Hayden and his entire family who are suffering this terrible passing. It's currently unknown if the current version of Blue, Blue's Clues & You! will make a dedication episode in Jansen's honor, as the franchise has had a few celebrity dedications over the years.

RIP
