==Family relations==
=== Mickey Mouse's family ===
==== Felicity Fieldmouse ====
'''Felicity Fieldmouse''' (née Mouse) is Mickey's older sister and the mother of Mickey's twin nephews Morty and Ferdie. The character first appeared in Morty and Ferdie's 1932 comics debut: there, she looks old and is not stated to be Mickey's sister. Indeed, Mickey calls her "Mrs. Fieldmouse" as if she were an unrelated acquaintance, implying that Morty and Ferdie call Mickey "uncle" as a form of courtesy. Danish editor [[Egmont Publishing]] used the character again in seven stories published between 2000 and 2008, [[Retcon|reimagining]] some aspects while refraining from declaring the old and the new character the same one. This new incarnation looks younger and is identified as Mickey's sister. She is now named Felicity, a name that was kept in the American localization of these Danish stories. In Egmont production notes her husband is named Frank Fieldmouse, though the character has never appeared in a story.<ref name="huffpostfelicity">{{cite news|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/mickey-mouse-sister_us_55a905dee4b0c5f0322d08bb|title=Here's One Major Thing You May Not Know About Mickey Mouse|work=[[Huffington Post]]|date=July 18, 2015|access-date=May 29, 2017|language=en}}</ref>

==== Morty and Ferdie Fieldmouse ====
[[File:Morty and ferdie.png|thumb|right|216px|Morty and Ferdie Fieldmouse]]
'''Mortimer "Morty" and Ferdinand "Ferdie" Fieldmouse''' are Mickey Mouse's twin nephews. They first appeared in [[Floyd Gottfredson]]'s [[Mickey Mouse (comic strip)|''Mickey Mouse'']] Sunday page storyline titled "Mickey's Nephews" (1932). Since then they have appeared in many comic strips and comic book stories starring Mickey Mouse and [[Pluto (dog)|Pluto]]. Morty and Ferdy were first shown as wearing shirts, but no pants or underpants. Pants were later added to their wardrobe.

Ferdie disappeared from the Mickey Mouse comic strip in 1943 because Gottfredson thought the nephews were too much alike. He had plans to bring Ferdie back later as a bespectacled, intellectual, bookworm mouse with an Eton hat and coat with the explanation that he had been away at school. However, Gottfredson never got around to bringing Ferdie back and Morty remained in the strip alone. Morty was occasionally depicted with his best friend named Alvin and a sweetheart named Millie. Both were anthropomorphic dogs. Ferdie never vanished from comic book stories, however. In recent years, some of Morty and Ferdie's comic book appearances have portrayed them as (very talented) football players on the team Riverside Rovers. Their mother is depicted as a supportive "Soccer Mom." Morty & Ferdie are also occasionally pitted against their antagonists [[Millie and Melody Mouse|Melody]], [[Minnie Mouse]]'s niece and [[Pete (Disney)|Pete]]'s twin hellion nephews, Pierino & Pieretto. Morty should not be confused with Mickey Mouse's originally proposed name "Mortimer Mouse," or Mickey's ofttimes rival of the same name [[#Mortimer Mouse|Mortimer Mouse]], or Minnie's wealthy rancher [[#Uncle Mortimer|Uncle Mortimer]]. Morty is a playable character on the [[PlayStation 2]] game ''[[Disney Golf]]''.

In pre-World War II children's books produced by Disney, the nephews were usually called '''Morty and Monty'''. Earlier books contain three or more nephews with various names, including '''Maisie and Marmaduke'''.

In animation, Mickey's nephews first appear in the 1933 ''[[Mickey Mouse (film series)|Mickey Mouse]]'' film ''[[Giantland]]'', although the film shows Mickey with as many as 14 nephews at the same time. The following year the nephews appear again in ''[[Gulliver Mickey]]''. The following film, ''[[Mickey's Steam Roller]]'', is the first to show Mickey with only two nephews, who can be presumed to be Morty and Ferdie, although they are unnamed in the film itself. This was two years after the twins debuted in the comic strip. Morty and Ferdie also make a cameo towards the end of 1938's ''[[Boat Builders (film)|Boat Builders]]'' and appear again in 1983's ''[[Mickey's Christmas Carol]]'' in speaking roles, albeit at different ages as one of the twins took on the role of [[Tiny Tim (A Christmas Carol)|Tiny Tim]]. In 1999 they make a cameo in the two-part ''[[Mickey Mouse Works]]'' segment "Around the World in Eighty Days", which was used again in ''[[House of Mouse]]''. They also appear in the ''[[Mickey Mouse (TV series)|Mickey Mouse]]'' episode "The Scariest Story Ever: A Mickey Mouse Halloween Spooktacular!"<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/tv-shows/The-Scariest-Story-Ever-A-Mickey-Mouse-Halloween-Spooktacular/ |work= [[Behind the Voice Actors]]  |title= The Scariest Story Ever: A Mickey Mouse Halloween Spooktacular |access-date= October 5, 2019}}</ref>

==== Madeline Mouse ====
'''Madeline Mouse''' is Mickey's blonde city cousin who appeared in "Love Trouble", a strip serial that ran from April 14 to July 5, 1941. While referred to as blonde in the story itself, Madeline has also been coloured with straight yellow fur in some printings of the story.

==== Melinda Mouse ====
'''Melinda Mouse''' (original Italian name ''Topolinda'') is Mickey Mouse's aunt, created by Romano Scarpa in 1960 for his story ''The Chirikawa Necklace''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Topolino e la collana Chiriwaka |url=https://inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL++230-AP&search=the%20chirikawa%20necklace |website=Inducks |access-date=January 4, 2020}}</ref> Since 2004, she has become a regular recurring character in Italian Disney comics.

Melinda is a tall old lady with a long nose and she dresses in a very formal way. She wears a pair of earrings, but her ears are covered by hair. The colour of Melinda's hair changes according to the colourists, but in recent stories, they appear blond. In her debut story, young Melinda has black hair.

According to ''The Chirikawa Necklace'', Melinda took care of Mickey when he was a baby. But one day, (taking advantage of a moment of distraction by Melinda) a young Big Bad Pete and his girlfriend Trudy Van Tubb kidnapped a baby Mickey Mouse and Melinda was forced to exchange Mickey for her Indian necklace. Years later, Mickey and his friend Atomo Beep-Beep discovered the truth and retrieved Melinda's necklace to her.

She is a lovely and cheerful person, and deeply attached to her nephew Mickey (with whom she shares a passion for mysteries and investigations) but the memory of baby Mickey's kidnapping caused her to develop feelings of guilt, and a too protective attitude towards her nephew.

=== Minnie Mouse's family ===
==== Marcus Mouse ====
'''Marcus Mouse''' is Minnie's father. He first appears as a farmer in the ''Mickey Mouse'' comic strip story line "Mr. Slicker and the Egg Robbers," first published between September 22 and December 26, 1930. He has also appeared in some English stories from 1930s Mickey Mouse Annuals.

==== Marshal Mouse and Matilda Mouse ====
'''Marshal Mouse''' and '''Matilda Mouse''' are Minnie's grandparents.

==== Millie and Melody Mouse ====
[[File:Millie and Melody Mouse.jpg|thumb|right|192px|Millie and Melody Mouse]]
'''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]].

==== Uncle Mortimer ====
'''Uncle Mortimer''', created by Walt Disney and [[Floyd Gottfredson]] for the comic strip, is Minnie's rancher uncle from whom she inherits an estate. He first appeared in the "Mickey Mouse in Death Valley" story line (1930). After that, he returned in several other Mickey Mouse comic strip adventures of the 1930s, in which Gottfredson gave him a markedly different appearance. He has occasionally appeared in more modern comics. He must not be confused with one of Mickey's antagonists, also called [[#Mortimer Mouse|Mortimer Mouse]].

==== Minnie's other nieces ====
Minnie Mouse has a variety of nieces besides Millie and Melody.
* Angela Mouse (Minnie's best friend)
* An unnamed baby niece (appeared in the 1944-02-26 strip by Bill Walsh)
* Giselle (French niece who appeared in the 1956-11-24 strip by Bill Walsh)
* Mildred (niece who appeared in the 1955-05-15 strip by Bill Walsh)

{{Main|Huey, Dewey, and Louie}}
'''Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck''' are Donald's mischief-making nephews who provoke Donald with his famous temper. They first appeared in 1937.

==== Scrooge McDuck ====
{{Main|Scrooge McDuck}}
'''Scrooge McDuck''' is Donald's wealthy uncle. He lives in the city of Duckburg and is of Scottish descent. Scrooge first appeared in 1947.
He is best known for diving into his pool of money, a recurring gag in the [[DuckTales (1987 TV series)|DuckTales]] series.

==== Ludwig Von Drake ====
{{Main|Ludwig Von Drake}}
'''Ludwig Von Drake''' is Donald's eccentric uncle who is a resident scientist, lecturer, and psychiatrist. He was introduced in 1961, as part of Walt Disney's NBC television special.

=== Goofy's family ===
==== Max Goof ====
{{main|Max Goof}}
'''Max Goof''' (also known as "Goofy Junior" in [[1950s]] short films) is Goofy's teenage son. He is a protagonist of the ''[[Goof Troop]]'' TV series (1992–1993) and of the feature film ''[[A Goofy Movie]]'' and its sequel ''[[An Extremely Goofy Movie]]''. He has also made a few comics appearances, most of which were based on the TV series.

==== Gilbert Goof ====
'''Gilbert Goof''' is Goofy's nephew in Disney comic book appearances, and a smarter counterpart for Goofy. He was created by Bill Wright (plot and art) and first introduced in the Dell Four Color # 562 (1954). He made numerous comics appearances in the 1950s and 1960s. At one point, he became Super Goof's sidekick, calling himself "Super Gilly" ("Super Goof" #5 in "The Twister Resisters"). He has since appeared in various Italian comics stories.

==== Grandma Goofy ====
'''Grandma Goofy''' is Goofy's elderly but energetic grandmother, who first appeared in a 1944 ''[[Mickey Mouse (comic strip)|Mickey Mouse]]'' Sunday page. She has made various appearances in American Mickey and Goofy stories, as well as in Italian stories.<ref>{{Inducks character|Grandma+Goofy|Grandma Goofy}}</ref> Although Grandma Goofy has not yet made a true animated appearance, Goofy impersonated her in the episode "Goofy's Grandma" of the ''[[Mickey Mouse (TV series)|Mickey Mouse]]'' television series.<ref>{{cite episode |title=Goofy's Grandma |series=[[Mickey Mouse (TV series)|Mickey Mouse]] |network=[[Disney Channel]] |season=2 |number=6 }}</ref>

==== Arizona Goof ====
'''Arizona Goof''' (original Italian name: "Indiana Pipps") is an [[archaeology|archaeologist]] and a cousin of [[Goofy]], being a clear parody of [[Indiana Jones]], who appears exclusively in Italian comics. The character was created in 1988 by Bruno Sarda (plot) and Maria Luisa Uggetti (art) in the story '' Topolino & Pippo in: I predatori del tempio perduto'' (''[[Topolino]]'' n° 1724). Arizona has a rare habit of not using beds, doors, or stairs. Instead, he sleeps in a tent, enters and exits houses through windows and climbs floors by a rope. Arizona is fond of a specific brand of [[liquorice candy]] (the brand is called ''Negritas'' in original Italian language version, ''Tuju'' in the [[Finnish language]] translation), which he never travels without and is addicted to the taste of, but which everyone else finds horrible. Arizona's car is an old [[jeep]] which he has named affectionately as Gippippa (Jeep + Pippo, Goofy's Italian name). Arizona has a rival archaeologist, Dr. Kranz, who is greedy and shameless and not above resorting to criminal behaviour. Arizona and Goofy look almost identical, which has been used as a plot device, when Goofy has masqueraded as Arizona to fool Dr. Kranz. For the readers' benefit, there is one small difference: Arizona has hairs dangling from his floppy ears, whereas Goofy's floppy ears are smooth.

Arizona Goof received his English name in his first American comics appearance (1991). In a couple of 2005–2006 appearances, the character was renamed "Arizona Dipp". But more recent uses (Disney Digicomics, 2009–2010) have restored his traditional English name.
