12 Things You Didn't Know About Mickey Mouse

10. Mickey And Minnie Got Married

Well, not on screen.

According to Walt Disney, Mickey and Minnie were married off screen some time ago.

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 already.

He wasn't wrong either. Wayne Allwine who played Mickey Mouse and Russi Taylor who voiced Minnie, tied the knot in 1991.

The pair didn't play up their romance as Taylor explains:

"we kept it quiet. We didn't want it to be about Mickey and Minnie being married. It was about Wayne and Russi being married. We had the best time. We laughed a lot. We were always singing. We always had music in the house."

Seems that Mickey and Minnie really are soul mates.
