50 free 2010s cartoon trivia questions with answers. These 2010s cartoon trivia questions and answers cover the decade when Cartoon Network, Disney and Netflix animation grew up: Adventure Time's Mushroom War, Gravity Falls ending on its creator's terms, Rebecca Sugar leaving Ooo to make Steven Universe, Gumball's clashing art styles, and the streaming-era shows from BoJack, She-Ra, Voltron, Trollhunters, Hilda and Kipo. The preschool hits are here too (Bluey, PAW Patrol, Doc McStuffins, Sofia, the Lion Guard), along with the grown-up ones (Rick and Morty's Szechuan sauce, Bob's Burgers). About half the questions are easy enough for anyone who watched with a kid or was one; the rest ask about creators, premieres, spin-offs and Emmy wins that only a real fan will know. It works for a 2010s-themed party, a family quiz between generations, or a nostalgia round for anyone who grew up in the decade. Every answer has been checked against Wikipedia and network records, and each question shows its citation once you have answered.
