LOVE BIRDS
Fine-feathered romance.
DONALD DUCK and DAISY DUCK
Donald found true love in the form of the shapely and sassy Daisy Duck, who made several film appearances with her short-tempered boyfriend before co-starring with him in such television series as Quack Attack and House of Mouse.
PETER PENGUIN and POLLY PENGUIN
An ice cream cone is all it takes for Peter Penguin to win the heart of Polly Penguin … and saving her from a vicious shark doesn’t hurt either.
JUNGLE LOVE
In a Disney film, deepest darkest
Africa apparently is just as romantic as Paris …

SIMBA and NALA
Childhood pals who turned their noses at the thought of being “affianced�?, they sure don’t mind it all that much once they come of age, rollicking in the oasis to the strains of Elton John’s Oscar-winning love ballad.
GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE and URSULA STANHOPE
In this comical variation of “Me Tarzan, you Jane�?, George is the bumbling “King of the Jungle�? who rescues poor little rich girl Ursula from her gold-digging fiancé Lyle, who probably doesn’t look as good in a loincloth …
YOUNG LOVE
The joys of first love …
KATIE O’GILL and MICHAEL McBRIDE
While her da is off chasing leprechauns, lass Katie O’Gill falls in love with the new groundskeeper in town, Michael McBride … the fact that he looks like a young Sean Connery probably had nothing to do with it …
JACK KELLY and SARAH JACOBS
Amidst the striking newsboys and the Great Depression, Jack Kelly finds love with Sarah, the sister of his fellow striker David. She is likely a big reason that he doesn’t ride off with Teddy Roosevelt at the climax of the film; check out that final kiss for further proof.
ALICE BOWER and JOE CARDER
They fell in love through the mail, but falter when politics intervenes. At the big election rally, they may dance with rivals, but they soon end up back in each other’s arms, and in a wheel barrel no less … ‘bout time!
NANCY CAREY and TOM HAMILTON
When Nancy and her family move from Boston to a small town in Maine following her father’s death, they are put up in the house of the mysteriously absent Mr. Hamilton. When he finally returns, he finds the family in his home … and love with Nancy.
