1 Jason Isaac played the voices of two characters in Disney's non-animated film "Peter Pan" (2003). His first voice was of Wendy's father. Which other voice did Jason Isaac play, starring the pirate villain who has one hooked hand?
Answer: Captain Hook

Jason Isaac ironically played Wendy's father and Captain Hook. As the children's father he was loving and kind. Captain Hook was the nemesis of the story's hero, Peter Pan.

Hook vowed to kill Peter Pan for cutting off his hand and feeding it to an alligator named Tic Toc. Tic Toc was always following Hook, hungry for the rest of the pirate. It was to Hook's advantage that the alligator also swallowed an alarm clock. The alarm clock constantly ticked and rang every time the alligator was near, giving Hook the alert the alligator was chasing him.

The character of Captain Hook was more comical than scary. Walt Disney told the creators not to kill Captain Hook off because he predicted fans would love him rather than hate him.
    Your options: [ Mr. Smee ] [ Starkey ] [ Bill Jukes ] [ Captain Hook ]

Answer: Rapunzel sheds a tear for Flynn

Released in 2010, "Tangled" is a retelling of the fairy tale, "Rapunzel".

When a magic flower that is used by Mother Gothel to retain her youth is taken in order to save the life of a queen, the queen soon gives birth to a daughter named Rapunzel. When Mother Gothel discovers that Rapunzel's hair can restore her youth, she kidnaps Rapunzel, imprisoning her in a tower.

When she is about to turn 18, Rapunzel rescues a thief named "Flynn Rider". With the help of "Flynn", Rapunzel is able to leave the tower whilst Mother Gothel is away. Whilst at a local tavern, "Flynn" reveals his true name as Eugene Fitzherbert. When Mother Gothel finds out, she is able to get Eugene arrested for stealing Rapunzel's crown.

Escaping execution, Eugene heads off to rescue Rapunzel, but in a confrontation with Mother Gothel is fatally wounded. During the fight between Eugene and Mother Gothel, Rapunzel's hair is cut, leading to Mother Gothel rapidly aging.

4 What is the name of the princess in the film 'The Black Cauldron'?
Answer: Eilonwy

Eilonwy is the twelve year old princess from the film 'The Black Cauldron'. She is small and slight, with long blonde hair and blue eyes. Her dress is modest and plain, featuring the colours pink, red, white and purple-blue. She can be strong willed and stubborn, but she is also kind and affectionate. We first meet her in the dungeons of the Horned King's castle, trying to escape. She has magical powers, which the Horned King wants to use to find the legendary Black Cauldron.

The film was made in 1985 and has a PG rating. The film was poorly received by audiences and so Eilonwy is not recognised as an official princess, despite being born one. 'The Black Cauldron' does not have any songs, which could contribute to its lack of success. The film is actually quite scary and darker than other Disney films.

Eilonwy is voiced by Susan Sheridan.

In regards to the other answers, Dyrnwyn is the name of the sword Taran finds. The made-up name Tarwyn is based on Taran's, the main male protagonist, and gwythaints are actually dragon-type creatures that work for the Horned King.

19 Lucille LaVerne voiced the evil queen and the wicked witch on Disney's animated classic, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". What unusual tactic did Lucille LaVerne use to interchange her characters' voices?
Answer: She took her false teeth out.

Lucille LaVerne was a well known stage actress before being selected to play Disney's first princess villain role.

Originally Lucille LaVerne was selected just to play one of the parts. Directors and producers worried she was too old to give life to the younger queen voice and play the older woman voice at the same time. Her composure, experience, and vocal range convinced Walt Disney to give her both vocal parts for the evil queen and her old lady disguise.

When Lucille LaVerne was recording her lines, she was not satisfied with her production of the wicked witch. She took a break and excused herself to the restroom. She returned and redid her performance in a perfect haggish voice. When she was asked what she did to transform into the part of an old woman, she told the production crew she had removed her false teeth.

The lack of dentures gave the "old lady" voice a wet sound. The effect of her jaws collapsing gave it the perfect effect for a hag voice. To influence her inspiration, LaVerne performed her vocal roles with a cape on.

22 In the film 'Enchanted', Giselle decides not to marry Prince Edward. Instead, when he returns to Andalasia, he marries someone else. What is the name of his bride?
Answer: Nancy

At the start of the film, Nancy is the long-term girlfriend of Robert Phillip. She has dark hair and is described as an influential woman by Robert, as she owns her own business: a fabric store. Her last name is Tremaine, as she was to be the stepmother of Robert's daughter, Morgan. This is a link to the film 'Cinderella', as the stepmother's name is Lady Tremaine. Similarly, Robert's surname is also based on another Disney character, Prince Philip from 'Sleeping Beauty'.

Although Giselle wears the princess dresses for the majority of the movie and always tries to find her 'true love', Prince Edward, she does not ever become a princess. She was not born a princess and does not become one, as she chooses to marry Robert.

'Enchanted' is a 2007 film and is both a cartoon and a live-action film, as it is based in the fictitious world of Andalasia and in New York, USA. Nancy is played by Idina Menzel, who also voiced the princess who later became Queen Elsa in the 2013 Disney film, 'Frozen'.

Narissa is the name of the evil Queen, Morgan is the name of Robert's daughter and Sam is the name of the receptionist at Robert's workplace. Incidentally, Sam is portrayed by Jodi Benson, who voiced Ariel in 'The Little Mermaid'.

Answer: Aladdin and Jasmine, "Aladdin"

In "Aladdin", Aladdin and Jasmine's "first date" was a magic carpet ride, while they sang "A Whole New World." After he met the Genie, Aladdin wished to become a prince.

It was during this ride that Jasmine really fell in love with Aladdin, and their love was what drove the story. Aladdin then defeated Jafar, and he and Jasmine were free to be together once again.

26 Which two ladies became a princess once they married their prince?
Answer: Cinderella and Belle

Cinderella as we all know was a scullery maid to her evil stepmother and therefore not royalty, but fell in love with the prince and then later married him when her foot fitted the glass slipper. This means that she married into royalty. Belle was just a girl from the town at the beginning of the movie, and therefore also not royalty, but when her father becomes the Beast's prisoner, she goes to take her father's place and ends up falling in love with the Beast who is actually a prince by birth. When he turns back into a man, Belle stays with him and we assume they marry. Although Ariel marries Prince Eric, she was already a princess at the beginning of the movie, so she didn't become royalty by marriage.
