Hmm. Okay, all you animation people on the flist, feel free to correct me here, but I've just been thinking.

In Disney, Mickey has Minnie, Donald has Daisy, but as far as I know, Goofy didn't ever really have much in the way of a love interest. And yet, of the three, Goofy is the only one in any continuity to have a child--they specifically made a point with Donald to have him only take care of his nephews.

So, basically, Disney made a point, with their three most iconic characters, to make the only one with a child be a single parent.

Just thought that was interesting.

I do remember the cow girlfriend from the early ones, but I was thinking they never made her really consistent. I hadn't seen the Three Muskateers one, though!

Yeah, the times they mentioned Chuckie's mom always made me super sad =( And there's a song about it in the Paris movie that I remember making me totally cry at the time.
