They were married for 41 years, until Walt died in 1966. They have two children together, Sharon and Diane.

Walt and Lillian met while she worked for his animation studio as an ink and paint artist. She is credited with having given Mickey Mouse his name.

On this day in 1925, Walt Disney and Lillian Bounds married in Lewiston, Idaho.
Lillian was one of Walt's first employees, and actually did some of the ink work for one of the very first Mickey Mouse cartoons, Plane Crazy.
She was also responsible for Mickey's name, after she told Walt Mickey sounded better than Mortimer!

Let's pay tribute to them both now with some "pictures of pictures" of them enjoying life, from Disneyland Paris.
