It's the scene right after the mice are trying to take Marvin's (I think that's his name) brain while the other 3 are asleep from eating some tainted food.

They're trying to take Arthur's brain (Marvin is the paranoid android..."I think you ought to know I'm feeling VERY depressed.").
They're actually, according to the book "pan-dimensional hyperintelligent beings" who merely disguised themselves as mice in order to be inconspicuous while running the program on earth to compute the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything.

Probably because they are supposed to be Hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings, and when they change dimension, they change shape.
On the book, mice are the same always, but here, because of the scene in which Deep Though is introduced, in order not to create spoilers (cause we see mice running in the ship) about what mice really are, they were represented as humanoid in their natural form.

It wasn't in the book. But the mice were already shown in their human form earlier in the movie. Once, when they came up to the great computer to ask THE Question, and the second time when they got the answer "42". The book is different, it has two philosophers trying to destroy the great computer, when the computer offers to answer the question for them.

I didn't see the movie, and they didn't do that in the book. That just shows how horrible movie versions of books are.

Not in the book, they don't...must be that "creative liberty" the Director needed to abuse.
