He couldn't get her to sign a prenup. She knew DL was going to be a gold mine someday and and she wouldn't sign.

Because he never asked.

and think about it she has a pretty sweet life without being married to him. She owns her own home in a great neighborhood that even has a castle and she has millions of people that have taken photos with her over the years.

She gave away the milk for free.

Because he couldn't shake the feeling that he and Donald should be more than just friends.

I think Minnie views Mickey more as a best friend, or a shopping partner. She knows what's going on. I also always questioned Mickey's true sexuality. The high pitched voice... the suggestive glances he gives to Donald...that whole Mousercise stage he went through in the 80's. It has always set my gadar off.

I would like to note that I have no problem whichever way he swings. I am all for same sex marriage, and in his case interspecies marriage, if Donald is so inclined.

Why ruin a good thing?


P.S. Looked it up out of pure poopzengiggles, they ARE married but maybe she realized he was a slob so she had him have his own house?

According to Walt Disney, Mickey and Minnie Mouse have never been married on screen. But, in 1933, during an interview with Film Pictorial, Walt said, "In private life, Mickey is married to Minnie... What it really amounts to is that Minnie is, for screen purposes, his leading lady." Two years later in 1935, he told Louise Morgan in the News Chronicle "There's no marriage in the land of make-believe. Mickey and Minnie must live happily ever after." The discussion of Mickey and Minnie's wedding has been fueled by the 1932 film Mickey's Nightmare in which Mickey falls asleep in the armchair instead of meeting Minnie at the local dance. Mickey dreams of being married to Minnie and is surrounded by numerous little Mickey mice. Then in 1935, a cover for for the sheet music "The Wedding Of Mister Mickey Mouse" shows a picture of a beaming Mickey, dressing in a tux, leading Minnie, dressed in a veil, from the church to the happy cheering of Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow. This music was a Novelty Fox-trot with music by Franz Vienna and words by Edward Pola with special permission by Walt Disney.

It would be the animated equivalent of jumping the shark?

I have a similar question and I'm sure there's an answer somewhere....

how does Goofy have a son? where did Max come from?

When I was going throug character greeter training (now called character attendents), we were told that Walt intended for Mickey and Minnie to be forever sweethearts and never to marry. I have loved that idea ever since!

 

[Hollywoodhaha]

I guess this mystery will haunt us

According to a person I know who is retired from WDW, she once was told, directly by Walt, that they are married but since they are actors they can get more parts playing not-married.
