How did that happen? After visiting Disney World, seeing the Princess floats in the Main Street Parade all pass in order, seeing Mickey's float and hearing this quote (he says it with a flirty tone, too - also, paraphrasing): "Didja see all those princesses?" Then adds quickly, "No one like my Minnie though!"
Why'd he date Minnie for so long? He didn't want to have his fame crash and burn over bestiality charges.
- Mickey wants to marry a princess because of the perks of being royalty. True, he's made millions upon millions in merchandising alone; perhaps he became a money-hungry jerk over the years who wants a crown to be adorned upon his head. Also, what stopped Jessica from marrying Roger Rabbit (even if only he made her laugh) despite being different species?
- The Princesses probably want in on the Mouse's money, too.
- He IS royalty.
- The Princesses probably want in on the Mouse's money, too.
- Jossed. Word of God says that they are married, but when "playing themselves" in the shorts they play themselves before they got married.
What with all the various stories and places and time periods they've been in, it's possible to say that they married each other in each one, but we just never got to see it.
They were clearly married in Mickey's Christmas Carol and Kingdom Hearts.
Then after the happy ending, someone pressed the Reset Button, and poof! they're back to square one. Donald Duck and Pete are prime suspects here.
And besides, why would a mouse find a human princess attractive anyway?
- Why not? I have never seen any indication that he doesn't. He is an anthropomorphic mouse after all. But I get the point. He's probably more attracted to Minnie anyway. She does look a lot like him except that she's female, so it makes a lot of sense.
Truth in Television: The previous voice actor to Mickey was married to the current voice actor of Minnie. They're the only people in the world who know what Mickey and Minnie sound like having sex.
Theory 2: He didn't immigrate with Max because he would be too imperiled by Pete's more villainous incarnations. Goof Troop portrayed one of the most sympathetic Pete incarnations ever and he was still a terrible Abusive Parent. True villain Pete may well have been willing to cross the line too far for Disney to consider appropriate. It's better than thinking he did immigrate with Max but that true villain Pete has no qualms permanently imprisoning or killing his son.
Theory 3: He didn't immigrate with Max because of the Woobie equivalent of Shipping Bed Death—we saw him get a happy ending. Now he's much better off, ergo, not interesting anymore. The alternative, cancelling the happy ending, would be just as bad—causing rage among his fans for needlessly yanking his chain.
Theory 4: He didn't immigrate with Max because his personality would vary wildly depending on what Pete incarnation he was placed with to the point it would be hard to tell he was even the same character.
