#26: The Kind of Love You Only See in Fairy Tales

Mickey Mouse is the first and perhaps most iconic Disney character, and we don’t know where he’d be without his trustworthy companion, Mini Mouse. They made their first appearance back in 1929 and have been a symbol of Disney since. But here’s a fun fact you may not have known about Mickey and Mini!

Wayne Allwine and Russi Taylor, the voice actors of Mickey Mouse and Mini Mouse, were married in real life! Their on-screen romance led the two actors to have a secret romance in real life. Wayne Allwine was the voice of Mickey for over 30 years, and Russi Taylor joined him as the voice of Mini in 1986. The happy couple got married after five years of secretly dating, and they were married for 18 years, until Allwine’s death in 2009.
