Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Cinderella's father summons her new stepsisters. What are they named in the Alf Tales version?

Answer: Janet and LaToya

Cinderella spoofs Elvis movies. Her father met Tilly, the stepmother, in the frozen food aisle.

The final piece of truth that conquors the Evil Sorceress was, "Left untreated, plaque can lead to gum disease!"

3. In the Alf Tales version of "Rumpelstilskin," how did Sam Shovel learn the name of the mysterious stranger who lay claim to the leading lady's firstborn?

Answer: Shovel saw it on Rumpelstilskin's vanity license plate

Rumpelstilskin does dance around and sing his own name, but Shovel can't hear him because the windows are closed. He tries to trick Rumpelstilskin with the "Package for you; sign here please" trick, but Rumpelstilskin signs as "Gnarl Dwarf Enterprises." I just threw in the one about the spinning guild for the fun of it.
