Disney Dudes! Trivia Quiz

Answer: Mickey Mouse

This is Mickey Mouse, describing his days as "Steamboat Willie". "Steamboat Willie" was released at the Colony Theatre in New York on November 18, 1928, just eleven months before the Stock Market Crash and the beginning of the Great Depression. The short was a mere seven minutes, and introduced the Disney company's mascot, Mickey Mouse.

Answer: Oliver & Company

"Oliver & Company" was originally released in 1988. The movie was an animated adaption of Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist". 'Ignacio Alonzo Julio Federico de Tito' or "Tito" as he was more commonly known, was the little Chihuahua voiced by Cheech Marin.

Answer: Eric

Prince Eric falls in love with Ariel, a mermaid. Li Shang falls in love with Mulan and Tarzan's love is Jane. Though Simba's love is not human, Simba is not a person either.

"The Little Mermaid" was released in 1989. Here is a few interesting facts from the website www.IMDb.com:
"This was the last Disney animated feature to use hand-painted cels and analog camera and film work. 1,000 different colors were used on 1,100 backgrounds. Over one million drawings were done in total.
Ariel's sisters names are Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Adella, Alana and Attina. All of Triton's daughters' names begin with the letter 'A'.
In Greek mythology, the God of the Sea is Poseidon. Triton, however, is one of his sons."

Answer: James

The foul arch nemesis of Peter Pan was none other than Captain James Hook, the man whose hand was eaten by a crocodile. George, John, and Michael were the names of the Darlings, and Wendy's father and brothers.

"Peter Pan" was released by Disney in 1953. An interesting fact to note; the Broadway production of "Peter Pan" in the 1950s starred a woman, Mary Martin, in the title role, Peter Pan.

Answer: Lumière

Lumière is the French word for light, which makes sense considering Lumière is a candlestick.

"Beauty and the Beast" was released in 1991. It was the first animated feature to be nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards, though it lost to "The Silence of the Lambs". (A tough choice indeed.)

Also, the Beast's real name is never mentioned. Twenty years into the marriage, I wonder if Belle will still be saying, "I love you, Beast! Oh, Beast!" to which the Beast would reply, "Quit calling me Beast, Belle! It lowers my self esteem!"

Answer: Sora

Sora does not come from a Disney movie; he is the main character in the video game "Kingdom Hearts" and is voiced by the wonderful Haley Joel Osment. Disney and Square-Enix released this game in the fall of 2002. After the success of "Kingdom Hearts", the two companies agreed to work together once again to produce the games "Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories" and "Kingdom Hearts 2".

By the way, "Sora" means "Sky" in Japanese.

Answer: Arthur

"A hard rough lump growing on the skin, caused by infection with certain viruses and occurring typically on the hands or feet" is the definition of a wart, according to www.dictionary.com
Yes, the future king of England was called a "wart" in his younger days by Sir Kay.

"The Sword in the Stone" was released in 1963. During the course of the movie, Arthur is turned into a squirrel, a fish, and a bird.

Answer: Tarzan

Sorry, I just had to throw this question in. One funny question doesn't hurt every once in a while! Frozopan and Banzipan are names that are just made up, and Flaversham ends in 'am' not 'an'.

"Tarzan", released in 1999, featured the voices of such celebrities as Minnie Driver, Rosie O'Donnell, and Glenn Close. Phil Collins won an Academy Award for his song in this movie, "You'll Be in My Heart".

Answer: What is "The Rescuers"?

Several million copies of this movie were recalled after the discovery of an inappropriate image in two frames.
Also, the sequel to this film, "The Rescuers Down Under" was released in 1990.

Answer: Robin Hood

A "carnivorous mammal of the genus Vulpes" is a fox. Disney's "Robin Hood" was told with the characters as animals. Much thanks to www.dictionary.com, who provided the definition.

"Robin Hood" is an adaption of the British legend of the same name. This legend has been produced several times, including a parody by Mel Brooks entitled, "Robin Hood: Men in Tights". "Robin Hood" was released in 1973.
