To the world she’ll forever be known as the voice of the sheep-herding pig Babe, a movie I will never deny made me well up at the end. Sadly, due to a financial dispute EG Daily took her place in the weirder, unnecessary sequel.
For me Christine was the original voices of Dexter from Dexter’s Lab in the Nineties and Chuckie Finster on the run of Rugrats. Her obituary in the Times said she retired in 2001 to be closer to her family; explains why Candi Milo took over Dexter when it was revived under Chris Savino and I think Tress MacNeille handles Chuckie, nope Nancy Cartwright. Her Marty on The Critic was awesome and she definitely made Oblina from Ahh! Real Monsters unique.
The cause of death hasn’t been revealed yet; still, Christine made the world a better place with her voice and participation in what I feel is the Cartoon Renaissance we continue to be living through.
