Is it considered retirement if you are still occasionally working?
https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0001548/
It looks like it was a single voice cameo and a mobile phone commercial; I wouldn't really consider that small amount of work coming out of retirement. This will be his first actual full acting role since he retired.
It's was more voice acting than just a single cameo. There are also a few smaller TV movies, two sitcom episodes, reoccurring voice acting for one franchise, several smaller voice acting.
I'm not calling that a ton of work, but he's still been popping up here an there. Plus after Spaceballs 2, who's to say he does anything else? In 20 years you'd see one extra movie on there and visually it would be considered a one off.
Oh and that franchise role. When I look up the cast of Brother bear. It's the third listed character. That's not just a cameo that's a full voice acting job, unless you want to insult all voice actors and tell me otherwise.
Oh, I had assumed 2009 was his retirement year based on the IMDb history.
