Why are they NOT married?

[PirateLover]

Are you saying that Mickey and Minnie are living in SIN?

YES THEY ARE! Have you ever seen Twas the Night Before Christmas at MVMCP? They are in bed together!
I have evidence!!!!

1) Actually, the explanation is quite simple.
2) Mickey is the "head cheese".
3) Minnie just hasn't figured how to finally trap him.
4) One might say, she hasn't found the weigh.

Wouldn't that be the "whey?"

I remember having a bus driver asking this question, and he explained the answer that Mickey and Minnie were married once in Mickey's dream. (I have no idea what cartoon this was from) But when he woke up, the marriage never happend. Anybody ever here this one???

[LibertyTreeGal]

Here is the DEFINITIVE answer from Walt Disney:

Walt Disney said in a 1933 interview, "In private life, Mickey is married to Minnie. A lot of people have written to him asking this question, because sometimes he appears to be married to her in his films and other times still courting her. What it really amounts to is that Minnie is, for screen purposes, his leading lady. If the story calls for a romantic courtship, then Minnie is the girl; but when the story requires a married couple, then they appear as man and wife. In the studio we have decided that they are married, really."

If Mickey and Minnie got married just how many little mice would running around Disney by now?

[Pipalotta]

Maybe Mickey's "nephews" are really him and Minnie's children. Ha I mean come on he has nephews but they have never acted like he had a brother or sister. LOL

[CaptainJessicaSparrow]

Well, Mortimer is his cousin so it's possible for him to have nephews.

Although, I thought Walt didn't want them to be married? Maybe I misunderstood this part....

[tinklover]

if the nephews were mortimers son's that would make them mickey's second cousins not nephews. same with donald i never heard of donald having a brother just ucle scrooge so how are huey dewey and louis his nephews? maybe it is just the magic of disney

This is the funniest thread I have ever read!!!

This is the funniest thread I have ever read!!!

It is fun isn't it.

[DisneyTwirler13!]

I heard somewhere that Disney didn't have Mickey and Minnie married to each other because it would make them seem like adults instead of a bunch of young friends or something like that.
It is true that the voices for Mickey and Minnie are married in real life.
Maybe Disney figured that that was enough...
And both mice are very busy... maybe they felt they had too unstable schedules and wouldn't have time for each other with all the movies, parades, shows, autograph/picture sessions, all that junk.
This is a fun thread!

I always thought mickey had a thing for Daisy

[FlaTinkRAMESAM]

I always thought mickey had a thing for Daisy

exactly! and that donald has a thing for minnie.

I bet everyone could have a field day with the possibilities of mixing and matching all the Disney characters...

Lilo & Chip

Belle & Buzz

Jasmine & Donald

Mickey & Cinderella

[Marilyn Michetti]

I guess it's kind of like Lucy and Desi - you never saw them in bed together, but she had a child on the show.

Minnie and Micky actually had "three blind mice", but for appearance sake, they put them in a different cartoon.

[animalkingdomguy]

It would seem to be a great chance to introduce new characters. Donald has his nephews, why not Mickey and Minnies kids. The people in marketing and merchandising could have a field day. Imagine the Minnie's Maternity clothing line, the infant clothing and accessories named after the mouse kids. This could be a real cash cow for Disney.

The explanation is quite simple- Disney characters only have 4 fingers on their hands (well, 3 fingers and what would be their thumb).

So where would you put a wedding ring if there isn't a ring finger?

[aabshagen]

Actually this topic came up during one of the tours we were on a little over a year ago. The guide of the tour put out some good points as to why they have never been married. And most of the points seem to be valid.

1. As to not offend any group what kind of wedding would they have? Cathloic, Christian, etc.
2. Many people tend to like the romance side of a relationship and lose interest once a couple is married.

I was thinking there was a third point that he had but as it has been well over a year ago I don't remember what it was.

[Mackflava99]

When couples honeymoon at WDw the bride gets minnie ears and the grrom gets mickey ears, they also sell a dancing figurine my kids got at epcot that has mickey and minnie in wedding outfits.
makes you think- maybe they are married and keep it under wraps.

Also, how could they have a pregnant minnie walking around- if they eventually had kids ?
We can't just try to hide it and say " Minnie sure does have a beer belly ..."
