If mice is plural for mouse, how would that work if Mickey Mouse had a family?

It would be The Mouse's because 'Mouse' is Mickey's last name, making it a proper noun, so you wouldn't use the plural form. Therefor it would be The Mouse's.

It would definitely be the Mouse family (or the Mouses) because, if it was Mice, then his name should be Mickey Mice ,which it is not supposed to be.

Mouses. Or, "The Mouse Family" to avoid the whole plural issue.

Hmmmm, this is a puzzler. I'd call them "The Mouse Family" (or Family Mouse if that's your pleasure). If invited to a party there and asked where I was headed, I'd say The Mouse House.

since his last name is Mouse, his family would be the Mouses (no apostrophe). Mice is plural for mouse, but when it's someone's name you wouldn't pluralize it.

To be honest I think Minnie is Mickey's other personality. She's just Mickey in drag...

How about Meese? But seriously, "Mouse" in this sense is a proper name therefore the correct answer would be "Mouse's family".

Because that doesn't apply to names, that's why... it's The Mouses.
