'''Millie and Melody Mouse''' are Minnie Mouse's twin nieces. Minnie has had an inconsistent list of nieces. In [[Europe]] and [[Brazil]], most often a single niece is depicted, consistently named ''Melodia'' (Melody). She is a Disney Studio creation by Jim Fletcher in the mid-sixties whose primary "task" seems to be to drive [[Morty and Ferdie Fieldmouse|Morty & Ferdie]] crazy.

However, in at least one other Italian or Brazilian tale Minnie did have another niece named Zizi (whether this was the name of Melody's twin or just another name for Melody is unknown). In [[United States|America]], Minnie's twin nieces have appeared under two names: Millie and Melody and Pammy and Tammy. Although the writer of these comics is unknown, they were both drawn by [[Paul Murry]], who rarely worked with characters that sported the same names even if they ostensibly were the same characters. In Italy, there is another set of twin nieces, Lily & Tiny, who are in their teen years. These teenage nieces have yet to appear in comics printed in the USA.

It is reported that another name is attributed in American comics giving Minnie's single niece the name of Molly. Another set of nieces appear in an early [[Mickey Mouse]] book from the 1940s as triplets calling themselves "Dolly, Polly & Molly," while a lone niece attributed to Mickey appears in the cartoon "[[Gulliver Mickey]]" (1934) named "Maisie" (listed in ''Mickey Mouse: His Life and Times'' (Harper & Row, 1986)).

The only possible film appearance of any niece is in 1983's "[[Mickey's Christmas Carol]]," where Mickey Mouse, as [[Bob Cratchit]], has a daughter. In this film Morty & Ferdie are said to have played Cratchit's two sons (including one as [[Tiny Tim (A Christmas Carol)|Tiny Tim]]), and since Melody seems to be the most consistent name used for any niece attributed to Minnie, it is probable that it was Melody who played the role of Bob Cratchit's daughter.

Millie & Melody both appear in ''[[Minnie's Bow-Toons]]'' on [[Disney Junior]], and are voiced by [[Avalon Robbins]].
