LOOKING FOR ROMANCE:
50 FAVORITE ROMANTIC COUPLES
FROM DISNEY FILMS 
Part 2 of 2

Happy Valentine’s Day to all our Toon Talk readers and, in lieu of heart-shaped box of candy, we give you Part 2 of Looking for Romance: 50 Favorite Romantic Couples from Disney Films (Click here for Part 1):

ODD COUPLES

A nerd and a princess. A bunny and a bombshell. A frog and a pig.
Meet the Disney Odd Couples, who despite their physical differences ... or maybe because of them ... find true love.

ROGER RABBIT and JESSICA RABBIT

Film: Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
Voice Actors: Charles Fleischer and Kathleen Turner
DVD: Available

What exactly does the buxom Jessica see in the bumbling Roger? “He makes me laugh,�? she claims of her “funny bunny�?. Just one look at her, and it ain’t too hard to figure out that this rabbit has one lucky foot.

CAPTAIN ABRAHAM SMOLLETT and BENJAMINA GUNN

Film: Muppet Treasure Island (1996)
Actors: Kermit the Frog (Steve Whitmire) and Miss Piggy (Frank Oz)
“Their�? Song: “Love Led Us Here�?
DVD: Available

Only the Muppets could get away with changing Robert Louis Stevenson’s ol’ salt Ben Gunn into a voluptuous island goddess, one romantically involved in the past with both Captain Smollett and Long John Silver … and of course, only Miss Piggy could play her.

DR. DOPPLER and CAPTAIN AMELIA

Film: Treasure Planet (2002)
Voice Actors: David Hyde Pierce and Emma Thompson
DVD: Available

In another Disney variation of Stevenson’s Treasure Planet, Captain Smollett is Captain Amelia, a feline task masker who captures the heart of the canine Dr. Doppler. In the film’s epilogue, one can see the results of their mixed alien litter.

MIKE WAZOWSKI and CELIA

Film: Monsters, Inc. (2001)
Voice Actors: Billy Crystal and Jennifer Tilly
DVD: Available

Mike is a green walking eyeball that only has eye (ouch!) for his “schmoosie-poo�?, the Medusa-esque Celia, who, along with her snakelike hair, is head over tentacles for her “googley bear�?.
