Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In "The Lion King", little Simba's father is trampled by stampeding wildebeest. Who played the father?

Answer: James Earl Jones

It's very sad. Simba's only consolation is a song called "Circle of Life", which seems to be about how when animals die they turn into compost.
2. Here's a recipe for an entertaining movie - action, adventure, antics, and the shooting of a faithful dog the moment he get sick. What's the movie?

Answer: old yeller

I remember watching this film in the assembly hall on the last day of the summer term at school, on a big old-fashioned projector. I thought the teachers were just being nice to us before the holidays. How wrong I was.
3. I can't even bring myself to ask a question about the bit where Bambi's mother dies. Instead I'll just ask what the skunk's name is.

Answer: Flower

They used to have a show on TV called "Disney Time" where children would write in and ask to see their favourite Disney scenes. No-one ever asked to see the hunting scene from "Bambi".
4. In the wonderful world of Disney, a boy's punishment for misbehaving isn't a stern telling off, a detention, or being grounded for a week. No - he's turned into a donkey. Can you name Pinocchio's friend who suffered this terrible fate?

Answer: Lampwick

Not exactly a Montessori approach to education.
5. In "James & the Giant Peach", our hero enjoys all sorts of exciting adventures with his invertebrate chums, but let's not forget that it all starts with the killing of James's parents by a rampaging animal. What kind of animal?

Answer: Rhino

Based on the book by Roald Dahl, one of the world's finest children's authors. Incidentally, if you have children, don't buy Dahl's more adult-themed "My Uncle Oswald" for them. Disney won't be making a film of it any time soon.
6. Who played Katie Dooley in "Million Dollar Duck"?

Answer: Sandy Duncan

I've never seen this film, but it depresses me that anyone would make a film called "Million Dollar Duck".
7. Although the movie ends happily, Dumbo spends much of his time separated from his mother. What's her name?

Answer: Mrs Jumbo

I'm getting tearful just thinking about it.
8. Disney's "Dinosaur" contains 2 tragedies. First, the main character's mother is eaten by a Carnotaur. Then, his adoptive monkey clan is all but wiped out by a meteorite. Name that poor unfortunate dinosaur.

Answer: Aladar

Hey Walt, give a dinosaur a break.
9. In "Robin Hood", the heroic bandit triumphs over the spoiled Prince John. What they don't tell you is that Prince John and his descendants ended up ruling a European country for the next 800 years. Which country?

Answer: Britain

Yes, that's right. Queen Elizabeth II is a direct descendant of the thumb-sucking lion (well, sort of).
10. In "Honey I Shrunk the Kids", the children's lives are saved by a faithful ant, who promptly dies. Which of the following is not a real episode from the TV series of the same name?

Answer: Honey, My Head Fell Off

So there you have it, Disney isn't all high-spirited musical dwarves and talking teapots. Its also about sadness, loss, and cruelty to animals. Remember that next time you're on the "Winnie the Pooh" ride.
