Why are they NOT married?

[magicofdisney]

I'm just wondering why Mickey and Minnie have never married. Is he thinking about it? Is she waiting for a better suitor? It just seems kind of odd (to me) that this has never taken place. I mean come on...they're perfect for each other!

[RedheadWriter]

Perhaps they have been together so long because they are not married? Come to think of it...are any of the happy Disney couples married?

I think they have the perfect set up.
They are romantically involved, and live right next to each other. She has her stuff, and he has his stuff.
It is just perfect !

At least they're not shacked up together

That sounds ideal to me!!

For the same reason someone like Derek Jeter isn't married. Haven't you ever seen all the women who stand in line just to meet him and be next to him?

Besides, Hollywood marriages never last.

I think she has a secret relationship w/ goofy. Has anyone ever noticed they are pretty chummy & she has an awful lot of goofy stuff in her house.

I'm sorry, I don't remember where, but I think I remember reading that they are married in real life, but in the cartoons, they're cast as sweethearts.

(Kind of along the lines of the Pluto's a dog and Goofy's a dog who plays the part of a man in cartoons)

I've always wondered why they weren't married too...what about the wedding pavilion? They show up dressed for a wedding... But whoever said Hollywood couples don't last...yeah, you're right...that could be the reason...people would be devastated if Micky and Minnie were no longer together...

[GoinGoofyPlanninThisTrip]

They're both rather wealthy...maybe they couldn't decide on the pre-nup arrangement.

Great Story about this. About 5 years ago when my wife and my parents went, we dined one evening at Chef Mickey's. It was for lunch ans surprisingly not crowded at all. When Minnie came around, my wife asked her why they were not married. Of course she did not talk, but she pointed to finger where a ring would be so we mentioned it mu just be a "common law" thing. She shook her head and motioned for something to write on and wrote "so half the kingdom should be mine". It was so funny, there were no children around at our table so I imagine she was just having fun with us. We still joke about it, every time we go to DisneyWorld.

I dont know if this is true but, my DH usually does his research. But he said he read that the voice of Mickey and the voice of Minnie are actually in real life married to each other.

[CosmicRay]

yeah here it is I dont know if I can say where I found it, but it's a trivia tidbit but it says...
He met wife Russi Taylor, the voice of Minnie Mouse, at a session of voices for 'Totally Minnie'.

Children: Daughter Erin, sons Peter, Josh and Chris.

Cinderella and Prince Charming look pretty happy to me....

But personally, I don't want to think of them being married because then they would be... ick.... you know....

AND THAT'S JUST WRONG!

Yep, in a 1933 interview Walt indicated that the studio decided that they were married but for on screen purposes she is his leading lady.

I agree. There's an innocence and charm to Minnie and Mickey stuck in perpetual courtship that gets lost if you think of them being a married couple.

I was riding the TTA the other day: just as I sat down and the doors were closing I looked off to my right... hanging on the railing was a sign showing Mickey and Minnie in a car with a "Just Married" sign on the back, with tin cans in tow. It struck me as odd because A) I didn't know they were married and B) what an odd place for a random sign to be hanging.

[Marilyn Michetti]

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

They must be in favor of marriage - they're on top of half the wedding cakes since the 70"s.

I heard that their relationship has been strictly a professional one in recent years. I don’t think they’ve actually dated in a long time. I don’t know if it is true but I heard from a not so reliable source that Minnie has been seen out with a former Backstreet Boy.

Well, in the Orlando Sentinel last year, when Pixar & Disney got together, they posted this...

I wonder how that worked out.
