Mickey and His Friends Trivia Quiz

Answer: Mouseton

Mickey's hometown has changed several times over the years. In 1932 it was called Silo Center in a comic story. Other stories simply called it Hometown. It was also called Topolina from the Italian for 'little mouse'. However, in 1990, Disney launched a new comic called "Mickey Mouse Adventures" and they wanted a new name for his home town.

The preferred option was "Mouseville" but Mighty Mouse, another non-Disney animated character already used it so they used the name "Mouseton" instead. A second publisher used the name "Duckburg" as the home of Donald Duck between 1993-99. Since 2003, the name "Mouseton" has been used consistently.

Answer: Yellow

The original Mickey Mouse as seen in the film "Plane Crazy"(1928), didn't have any gloves or shoes at all. Shoes appeared in the film "Gallopin' Gaucho" (1928) and gloves in "The Opry House" (1929).

Answer: They are always face on towards the viewer

Answer: Clarabelle

Clarabelle Cow was introduced in 1928. Besides Goofy, she sometimes dates Horace Horsecollar. Clarabelle loves to gossip and is a friend of Donald Duck. Goofy was originally called Dippy Dawg.

Answer: Mortimer

Mickey may not be called Mortimer but that's not to say there isn't one. Mortimer Mouse was also the name of Minnie's uncle and there was yet another Mortimer Mouse who was Mickey's rival for the affections of Minnie.

Answer: Pete

Pete is also known as Peg-leg-Pete or Black Pete. The character was introduced in 1928 and often teams up with the crooked lawyer/evil mastermind, Sylvester Shyster.

Answer: Steamboat Willie

Plane Crazy and The Gallopin' Gaucho were the first two Mickey Mouse films produced but they failed to find a distributor. Walt Disney was working on Steamboat Willie when the world's first talkie, "The Jazz Singer", was released. Walt wanted Steamboat Willie to have a synchronised sound track too, realising that that was the future of cinema. Steamboat Willie was the first Mickey Mouse film to actually be distributed but the third made.

It was an instant hit and was the start of the Disney legend.

Answer: Butch

Mickey's dog is called Pluto and Pete's dog is Butch the Bulldog. Butch was introduced in the film "Bone Trouble" (1940) where Pluto tries to steal his bone. Butch has been trouble for Pluto ever since. Dinah the Dachshund is often a source of competition between Pluto and Butch. Nowadays, Butch is usually seen in the children's TV series Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Answer: Seal

Salty the seal usually pops up in scenes where there is water or other locations such as circuses and zoos where a seal would not be out of place. Salty usually leads Pluto into all sorts of dangerous scrapes before saving the day and making friends with Pluto again (until the next time of course).

Answer: Morty and Ferdie

Their mother is Felicity Fieldmouse (nee Mouse), Mickey's sister. Morty and Ferdie first appeared in Floyd Gottfredson's Mickey Mouse Sunday strip story titled "Mickey's Nephews" (1932).
