One question: Are Micky & Minnie Married??

Hi everybody!! I was in one of my random thought times and i was thinking...

Are Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse married??

According to Walt, Mickey and Minnie were never married on screen. However, he later said in their private life they are married. Two years later, Walt said that "there is no marriage in the land of make believe". Later the same year "The Wedding of Mister Mickey Mouse" was published with Mickey walking Minnie down the aisle. Although this was not a Disney publication, Walt Disney gave permission for the publication.

wow Kirby, that was very informative...it's like you're a teacher or something

*snicker* I know a little about Mickey Mouse, and I know how to do some research.....oh yeah. Plus I am a teacher.

So does this mean all these years Mickey and Minnie were just...living together? :o)

Are they waiting until it's legal for all animals?

sinners!

I knew they weren't married, but I feel so much more informed now. Thanks, kirby.

#5: hahaha jp!

So I'm guessing that Donald and Daisy aren't married either?

Mickey and Minnie have separate houses, they have not been living together.

Donald and Daisy aren't married either, and also have separate houses.

#5 -- I can't remember ever seeing a cartoon where Mickey was living with Minnie. They go on dates a lot...

Yeah I always remember Mickey going to pick Minnie up at her house or calling her at home and stuff like that.

Just how old are they supposed to be, anyway? They play in a clubhouse, after all.

That sounds kind of suggestive actually, now that I reread it.

Yes. Those of you who said Mickey and Minnie, Donald and Daisy, or any other of the other boyfriend/girlfriend couples had separate houses, it's true. No one lived together.

Except Chip and Dale.

lol

Micky and Minnie are mostly married. Donald and Daisy are definitely divorced.

Now let's analyze why all the cats were evil unless they were kittens and why Goofy could talk and Pluto couldn't.

And then we can talk about the WB characters, who seemed to have much more fun. I always preferred Bugs Bunny over Mickey. :o)

Mickey and Minnie have an "understanding"!

Can we talk about why cartoon characters wear shirts, ties and hats but no pants?

I prefer Daffy.

I have always thought that was funny too. no pants!

Hey, i was just in a resturant with the old Micky videos and Minnie gave Micky a big ol' wet one! it was a REALLY old video, but it still counts!! Kirby gave a good discpertion on that they are! Thanks Kirby! :)

They have no pants, and Chip and Dale have no tails. Why did they take their tails?

Kids today. Tattoos, piercings, tail docking. Crazy.

#18 friends with benefits?

Haha Wow this conversation is weird! But that's why I like it here.

#17 & 19 I actually prefer Disney. I'm in love with it! And always have been. That might be cause I have an aunt who works at Disneyland but I don't know... ;)

#24 Hehe

So which Disney character do most people identify with? For me it as to be Goofy, but I'm not saying why.

Tigger, with an inner Eeyore, which helps keep me grounded. :o)

I am not sure wich one I identify with the most.....hmmm.....maybe Lilo form Lilo and Stich. Yeah I identify with Lilo the most.

Back to the no pants thing. Like Chndler said on friends: "Donald Duck never wore pants, but whenever he came out of the shower he always wrapped a towel around his waist. What is that about?"

#28 - good point MrsG

#27-Oops again. That's me, not my daughter. She really needs to learn to sign out. I just bounced all over her account!

>#30: Messing with her post count, huh?

Well see, I'm trying for a perfect 800 this month, which means I can only post 8 more messages.

Whoops. Seven.

800. Wow.

Let's see: if i was add my posts with, say... oh, I don't know... MrAndrew's posts, for example. Hmmmm.

Still, i shouldn't be jealous. I only joined LT recently.

8-D

I'm a tigger too!

Sorry polly, but there is only one tigger. That is the most wonderful thing
about him you know.

#34: In the chinese zodiac I'm not a "tigger" I'm a rabbit :P

#33-*snort*

#35-LOL Didn't tigger have relatives? Maybe I'm thinking of a different Winnie the Pooh character.

#36-You don't have to be Rabbit, Ron, but it would be nice to have someone to clean up. :o)

This month has been a record posting month for me. I'd like to thank cat for leaving me for ten days and making this all possible. What's amazing is that I haven't even slacked off on my blog! I've drawn 3 comics per week the entire month. Now I'm going to have to be careful the rest of the day. Four posts left to 800...

my nickname when I was little was tigger.

#37 June 08 was my record posting month, then August 08 was my record low.

37> No tigger didn't have any relatives. He thought he did in The Tigger movie and went on an adventure, but it turned out that it was just him.

#37: You can always go back an delete older posts. Just make sure you check the date! ;)

Hey, that's some good advice, bib. Timely, too. O-o

But I am Tigger! I am! or maybe I'm piglet....Oh dear!

#35 Lol

I've always thought of myself like Tinkerbell. But she is my favorite Disney character.

Yeah I can see some Tinkerbell in myslef. But I can really relate to Lilo...yup I'm a loner who no one likes and hangs out with aliens.

How did you know we were aliens?

You guys are aliens? I thought you were puppies.

Hey! Who you callin' aliens?

nanu nanu.

No... I mean-- yes! Of course! We're puppies. Just keep thinking that.

Ok! You guys are my little angels! Ohana!

Photo time!

A friend of mine's little boy calls me Lilo. When he was 3 he misheard what his parents called me and I've been Lilo ever since.

This is what we call Li-los here. That Disney show stole the name:

Sooo... Lilo is a comfy inflatable bed?

yep. really.

Isn't that a pool toy?

yup.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_mattress
The term air mattress may also refer to a certain inflatable swimming pool or beach toy, which has an air-sac "pillow" and several (usually four or five) tubes running its length. Also called a "lilo" (UK), "pool air mat", "air mat", "pool lounge", or "float(ing) mat(tress)", it is used to recline on the water surface. Although it bears some resemblance to an air mattress, it is typically not built as strongly and may not reliably stay inflated all night long, making it impractical for use as a bed.

Guys, back to subject... are they?

(P.S: Chip & Dale have tails :))

puppet, why would we need to discuss the question farther when it has already been answered? they are a couple, but have yet to get married.

Hmmm.... lol i just wanted to say it. :) Im pretty tired because of the stupid LONG plan ride.

DISNEY ROCKS. A MUST GO. :)))

56> Again with the pointless attempt to get us back on subject. It's a lost cause man a lost cause.

Hmph....thought of something to post, so clicked the appropriate button. Now I;ve forgotten what I was going to say. So this will have to do.

59: Yea... i always try, never works :)

Im tired and its so cold here :(

I wish I could be one of the princesses.

yea right... good one, sis.... ohh.... u were serious? jk jk

kinda... :))

It's weird because as much as I love Disney movies, I always liked the Looney Tunes TV shows better even though we watched the Disney Channel a lot.

And Chip and Dale were siblings weren't they? Who else remembers their cartoon with the way-too-likely-to-get-stuck-in-your-head theme song:

Ch-Ch-Ch-Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers!

Oh yeah, I remember. That and Tailspin

My sister loved Ducktails.

Yep, Ducktails, Rescue Rangers, Tailspin, and Darkwing Duck -- that was our weekday afternoon routine for a while, as I recall.

Wasn't there a Dumbo show?

Yeah, but it was for younger kids and was on in the mornings, preschool age kids would watch that.

*wanders away singing*

Ducktales! Ooo-oo-oo
Tales of derring-do, bad and good luck tales. Ooo-oo

D-d-d-danger! Watch behind you!
There's a stranger out to find you!

i dont remeber that show...:)

Oh ee oh!
Tailspin
Oh ee oh!
Tailspin
Friends for life through thick and thin
With another Tailspin!

Of course, my favorite came later...

Daring duck of mystery,
Champion of right,
Swoops out of the shadows,
Darkwing owns the night.
Somewhere some villain schemes,
But his number's up.

Darkwing Duck!
When there's trouble
You call DW!
Darkwing Duck!
Let's get dangerous!

ROFL! I hadn't read this thread! It's too much! Can't breathe.

Okay. I was never a fan of Loony Tunes. However, I can't determine a Disney character to describe me. *ponders*

#67 foggi:
Save for Tailspin I remember watching those, too.

I thought you guys might enjoy this, this and this

I totally used to watch all of these shows when I was younger but the intros were in Spanish though

#70: I wouldn't really expect you to, I don't know your exact age, but I'm guessing you were born about 5 years after they went off the air. :)

#73: Aw man, I wish I wasn't at work! I can't wait to get home and watch those!

Here's one for you...anyone remember Count Ducula?

#74: Especially for you, bib here....I know you are at work but e-mail yourself like the other time so you don't forget to watch them tonight :P

74: and when did it come out??

Ducktales ran from 1987-1990
Rescue Rangers ran from 1989-1992
Tailspin ran from 1990-1994
Darkwing Duck ran from 1991-1995
Count Duckula ran from 1988-1993

Thanks Ron, that made me very happy!

and boy, are they tired

Sorry, someone had to day it. And that someone had to be me.

Count Duckula had his own show? How did I miss that?
*looks closely at dates*
Ah! I started dating my husband in '88, and by '93 we had catbastet. That explains it.

#77: Anytime bib! Just glad to make someone happy!

bib! I can't believe you forgot the Gummi Bears! I loved Zummi Gummi.

#78: MrA, do you have a code in your dose?

#81: I absolutely didn't forget them, but puppet had only asked about the ones we'd already been talking about. I, in fact, watched the Gummi Bear opening while I was watching all of Ron's lovely links!

Dashing and daring
Courageous and caring
Faithful and friendly
With stories to share
All through the forest
They sing out in chorus
Marching along
As their song fills the air

Gummi Bears
Bouncing here and there and everywhere
High adventure that’s beyond compare
They are the Gummi Bears
Magic and mystery
Are part of their history
Along with the secret
Of gummiberry juice
Their legend is growing
They take pride in knowing
They’ll fight for what’s right
In whatever they do

Gummi Bears
Bouncing here and there and everywhere
High adventure that’s beyond compare
They are the Gummi Bears
They are the Gummi Bears!

teehee, i was singing that all day yesterday because of this thread, not that they were mentioned just because it made me think of them.

I've now been humming that song for two hours!

You're welcome!

Gummi Bears was (and still is!) awesome!!
When we were little my sister got one of these for her birthday and I was sooooo jealous:



She was nice and shared though so I got to hug him while we watched the show sometimes! :)

Well, while we're on the topic...

Snorks! Wuzzles! Shirttails! Montgomery Moose and the Getalong Gang!!!!!

My sister Holly had a Wuzzle, and I was so jealous! It was this one:



I used to love the Snorks and the Shirttails too, though I'm not sure I remember the Getalong Gang...

It was very short-lived, and I think it was early 80s...

OH, and the POPPLES!!! I so wanted the soccer ball Popple...

Popples are making a come back. My friend's 6 year old has a new one. I loved Popples.

Every time I read this thread title I am reminded of the joke of Micky and Minnie going to a marriage councilor. But I suspect the punch line is inappropriate for this group...

#77 bib:
I was only five when Count Duckula began. Perhaps that's why I don't recall watching it. We were always sent outside to play.

#81 JP:
Gummi Bears was a show I watched, too.

#83 mandy:
That was pretty good! I only remembered a couple lines. :)

#86 el:
For us it was Care Bears. I had loads of them as well as characters from Rainbow Bright.

#89 laia:
I had a purple popple! I think it was more of a magenta, actually.

*wonders* How did I do so well with toys? We only ever got them from donations. I was that kid who other girls would say, "She's wear my dress!" And I'd say, "No!" Their older sister would say, "We gave it to her," and I'd embarrassingly go hide.

What's wrong with hand me downs? Some of my nicest clothing has come from my sister or the thrift shop.

>#91: private message please.

#93 jp:
The other children made me feel shameful for being poor is all. I never had anything wrong with handmedowns, though I never got any until I was a teen. It's harder to get handmedowns when you're a first born. I just got some last week, though. :)

The great thing about all those old shows is that you can still find most of them places. Some less legal than others. I loved Tailspin so much when I was younger, and I still watch it whenever I'm somewhere that has Toon Disney (and it's actually on). They really were written in ways that make them still funny today. And they don't make me want to stab an ice pick through my eyes.

I really think that children's programming has gotten a lot lazier nowadays. I mean, there is some great anime out there, but most of the better stuff is made for teens which makes it annoying when they tone down the dialogue so they can put it up on Saturday morning. And the stuff that isn't imported is sludge with pop-culture references in it to make it appeal to kids who want to be older than they are.

Wow... I didn't mean to rant about that. I will admit that occasionally there's a show that is really amazing (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends comes to mind). I probably am forgetting all the crapy shows from when I was growing up too. Any of you remember any crappy cartoons from yesteryear?

I think everything since Doug has been pfffffffffffftttttttttttt. I was in my early twenties and loved that one.

I like to make the distinction of Doug pre Disney. When Disney go ahold of it they turned him into the male version of Pepper Anne, and in the process, got rid of most of its charm.

I used to have a bunch of cartoons that I watched regularly, but the networks kept getting rid of them in favor of annoying shows. Now there are maybe three still on that I watch. *sigh* It just makes me sad.

96- We have the first season of Tailspin on DVD! That show is great.

#97: There have been some good cartoons since Doug, but it depends on what you like. We've enjoyed Foster's Home (is that still on?), Teen Titans, and Justice League Unlimited.

Did any of you ever watch Beakman's World or Bill Nye? Those were the best kids science shows ever!

I loved Beakman's World!! and I also liked Popular Mechanics for kids. I think there have been some good cartoons lately I really like Foster (which I think is still on JP) and Fairly Oddparents, I think both of them are good because they are actually FOR kids. When I was a kid I watched many cartoons: Doug, Rugrats, Hey Arnold!, Animaniacs, Freakazoid, Rocko's Modern Life and many more.

My little sister likes to watch Beakman's World in Spanish! (El Mundo de Beakman)

I used to love Fairly Oddparents!

I remember having to watch Bill Nye in 7th and 9th grade science. Unfortunately everyone made fun of it, though I am sure it was quite educational. One of my closest friends in those days was a big fan of the show and I'd go to her house where we'd watch it on tv.

#104 I loved watching Bill Nye! We watched that a lot in 7th & 8th grade. All the boys in our class would sing the theme song. Lol

I remember a TV show I watched was called Dragon Tales. I liked it...not Disney though.

Ah! My older two grew up with Dragon Tales! My son did the best dancing to "Shake your Dragon Tail" when he was three!

My kid sister also grew up with Dragon Tales. It had been one of her favorite shows.

Write that down. It will be a great story to share with his peers and girlfriends when he is a teenager. He will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

pshaw. We took videos.

104: I LOVED BILL NYE!! he was so nutty and awesome! (i wonder how old he is now...)

100> I love Fosters and Teen Titans.

When there's trouble, you know who to call
TEEN TITANS!
From their tower, they can see it all
TEEN TITANS!
When there's evil on the attack
You can rest knowing they got your back
'Cause when the world needs heroes on patrol
TEEN TITANS, GO!

I'm also humming the Foster's theme. I don't think that one has words. :o)

No, i dont think it does. :) But that one was funny too.

I loved the show "Arther". (Bad spelling... sorry!)

I can't believe some of you haven't mentioned 'Thundercats!' I find that sad 8(.

;)

Thundercats! Ho!
Thunder thunder thunder thunder CATS!

I didn't like He-Man or She-Ra, so don't ask me about those. :o)

I also watched The Amazing Spiderman and Friends and other Marvel characters that shared a cartoon for a while. I forget the name of the series, but it had cartoons of Sub Mariner, Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, etc. Each had their own theme song.
Tony Stark
Makes you feel
He's a cool exec
With a heart of steel.
As Iron Man,
All jets ablaze,
He fights and smite'n
With repulsor rays!
A blaze of power!
Iron Man!
Amazing armor!
Iron Man!

"sword of omens, give me sight beyond sight!"

This is a really lame six-degrees-of-separation story, but Bill Nye came to University of Illinois for their Engineering Open House weekend and one of my friends got to drive him to the airport. :)

And I loved Beakman's World and Bill Nye - as well as the earlier incantation Mr. Wizard - when I was younger. I think I have them to blame thank for my two science fair medals and my current research career nerdiness.

I was a Mr. Wizard fan and I watched Bill Nye when he did the Mickey Mouse Club (pre-Britney and Justin) but by the time he had his own show I felt that I was "too old" for him, meaning I was in high school

I watched Bill Nye when my children started homeschooling. I watched Beakman when I was in high school. I think Beakman had a better gross factor for teens.

yea... i think ur right JP... :(

I am glad to see the Thundercats coming back to Cartoon Network, probably in July 2011(?)
