So after going through the entire Kingdom Hearts series, Iโve noticed something. King Mickey was not born royalty; he married into royalty by screwing around with the world order.
Mickey originally comes from Timeless River, the โSteamboat Willieโ-themed world where heโs a deckhand with a reputation for being a lazy troublemaker. Nobody mentions any kind of existing royalty in that world, and certainly nobody treats Mickey like a prince, lazy or otherwise. We see early versions of Pete, Horace Horsecollar, Clara Cluck, etc. but do you notice someone missing?
Minnie. Minnie is not from Timeless River.
Minnie is princess of the Country of the Musketeers, the โThree Musketeersโ-themed world from Dream Drop Distance. We see a younger Mickey here training to be a Musketeer on princess guard duty but we know he isnโt native because he tells Sora as much. He doesnโt understand when Sora calls him โYour Majestyโ. If Mickey was a prince of any kind, that title wouldnโt be weird. Itโs also clear that this world is not a version of Timeless River. (Though it does have a version of Pete, which may or may not be the same Pete from the rest of the series considering he has a peg leg in Country of the Musketeers. Itโs kinda hard to grow back a leg. Then again, this is a series that runs on bloodless carnage and where people regularly come back from the dead, so who knows?)
Sometime later, in Yen Sidโs tower, we see an inexperienced Mickey as the sorcererโs apprentice. Again, Sora instinctively starts with โYour Majestyโ and Mickey is confused.
By the time Birth By Sleep rolls around, Mickey is still an apprentice to Yen Sid but heโs a king now. He and Minnie rule over Disney Town during the Million Dreams Festival, which is the newer incarnation of Timeless River. And is not at all a shameless plug for Disneyland or reference to the Disney parksโ Year of a Million Dreams, up to and including Ven being given actual goddamn park tickets.
(No I will not get over the blatant self-advertising.)
Disney Town goes on to become Disney Castle from KH1 on.
So basically, Mickey pulled Minnie out of her own world and back to his, where she reigned as queen and he married her and became king. So that means that all these regal-looking pictures of mice on the wallsโฆ
โฆare MINNIEโS ancestors, not Mickeyโs. And also, since Disney Castle was not inherited but was built during their lifetime, those little 3-circle mouse heads everywhere?
Either itโs Mickey being phenomenally narcissistic, or more likely, theyโre the royal seal of MINNIEโS family.
So the worlds have to stay separated and their existences have to stay secret, right, Mick?
Unless you find a hot girl. Then you can totally bring her back to yours.
