Q 01What was the first full-length animated feature film released by Walt Disney Productions?
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs briefly became the highest-grossing sound film ever made; its special Oscar came as one full-size statuette and seven miniature ones.
Q 02Which comedian voiced the Genie in Disney's 1992 'Aladdin'?
Robin Williams
Robin Williams had the part written for him: directors Musker and Clements won him over with a test reel of the Genie animated to one of his old stand-up routines.
Q 03Which Disney princess has a pet chameleon named Pascal?
Rapunzel
Rapunzel's chameleon Pascal never speaks in Tangled, yet he lands the final blow: he trips the villain with a length of cut hair and she tumbles from the tower.
Q 04Who is the 'Shadow Man' villain of Disney's The Princess and the Frog?
Dr. Facilier
Dr. Facilier turns Prince Naveen into a frog with a talisman of the prince's blood; Keith David voices him, and his 'Friends on the Other Side' eventually drag him off.
Q 05In The Emperor's New Groove, Yzma's potion, meant to poison Emperor Kuzco, accidentally turns him into what?
Llama
Llama is the result because Kronk grabbed the wrong vial; the Incan-inspired film's villain Yzma was voiced by Eartha Kitt.
Q 06Who is Simba's father and the wise king of the Pride Lands in Disney's 'The Lion King'?
Mufasa
Mufasa dies saving Simba from a wildebeest stampede set up by his own brother; the charging herd was built in a computer, then shaded to match the hand-drawn animals.
Q 07What type of sea creature is Sebastian, King Triton's advisor, in 'The Little Mermaid'?
Crab
Crab: Sebastian began as an English butler named Clarence until songwriter Howard Ashman proposed making him Jamaican and reshaping the film's music to match.
Q 08In Toy Story, the pull-string cowboy doll's voice box warns of which animal in his boot?
A snake
A snake: 'There's a snake in my boot!' is one of the doll's pull-string lines, and on the talking toys sold in shops the voice usually belongs to Tom Hanks's brother Jim.
Q 09Which 'Alice in Wonderland' character can vanish at will?
The Cheshire Cat
The Cheshire Cat's grin was not Lewis Carroll's idea: people were said to 'grin like a Cheshire cat' in print generations before his 1865 book, and nobody is sure why.
Q 10Disney's 1989 animated film 'The Little Mermaid' is loosely based on a fairy tale by which famous author?
Hans Christian Andersen
Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 tale ends far less happily: the prince marries someone else, and the mermaid throws herself into the sea and dissolves into foam.
Q 11Walt Disney created Mickey Mouse in 1928 after losing the rights to which earlier character to Universal?
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was a hit until distributor Charles Mintz hired away Disney's animators and kept the character; Disney got him back in 2006 by trading sportscaster Al Michaels to NBC.
Q 12In which synchronized-sound short did Mickey Mouse make his official debut?
Steamboat Willie
Steamboat Willie (November 1928) was the third Mickey short made but the first released; the silent Plane Crazy and The Gallopin' Gaucho were shelved until sound could be added after its success.
Q 13Pinto Colvig, the original voice of Goofy, also supplied the barks of which Disney dog?
Pluto
Q 21Who wrote the lyrics to the Oscar-winning song 'A Whole New World'?
Tim Rice
Tim Rice wrote the lyrics to Alan Menken's music after Howard Ashman's death; Brad Kane and Lea Salonga sang the duet, which won the Oscar, the Golden Globe and the Grammy for Song of the Year.
Q 22What is the name of Mulan's small, red dragon guardian?
Mushu
Mushu, voiced by Eddie Murphy, was demoted from family guardian for failing to protect an ancestor; the animators kept him small so he would not overwhelm Mulan on screen.
Q 23In Disney's 1991 film, who is Belle's eccentric inventor father?
Maurice
Maurice is Disney's reworking of the tale's father: in the old French fairy tale he is a rich merchant who loses his ships and his fortune, and the film turned him into a village tinkerer.
Pluto's barks and Goofy's voice both came from Pinto Colvig, a former circus clown; when he fell out with the studio and left in the late 1930s, it reused his old recordings and hired stand-ins until he came back.
Q 14What was Goofy called in his early-1930s cartoons and comic strips, before the name Goofy stuck?
Dippy Dawg
Dippy Dawg began as a bearded heckler in the audience of 1932's Mickey's Revue, crunching peanuts and laughing so loudly that the studio built a new regular around the laugh.
Q 15With which Oscar-winning song does Sebastian urge Ariel to forget the human world?
Under the Sea
'Under the Sea' won the 1989 Oscar for Best Original Song, yet the plea itself fails: Ariel slips away before Sebastian has even finished singing.
Q 16In Disney's 1967 'The Jungle Book', what kind of animal is Baloo?
Bear
Bear: Baloo was only an episodic part until Phil Harris, told to stop playing a bear and just be himself, ad-libbed so freely that the role grew into one of the film's leads.
Q 17According to studio legend, which name did Walt Disney pick for Mickey Mouse before his wife Lillian objected?
Mortimer
Mortimer struck Lillian as too pretentious, the story goes, and she suggested Mickey; in 1936 the studio gave the cast-off name to Mortimer Mouse, a smooth rival for Minnie's affections.
Q 18In 'Fantasia', Mickey Mouse is apprenticed to which sorcerer?
Yen Sid
Yen Sid is 'Disney' spelled backwards; The Sorcerer's Apprentice began as a Silly Symphony short meant to revive Mickey, whose popularity had slipped behind Donald and Goofy.
Q 19What is the name of the magical kingdom where the events of Disney's 'Frozen' take place?
Arendelle
Arendelle was drawn after a research trip to Norway: the art director wanted its fjords, wooden architecture and rosemaling folk art at the centre of the kingdom's look.
Q 20What type of animal is Thumper, Bambi's energetic friend?
Rabbit
Rabbit: Thumper was a minor part until the animators heard four-year-old Peter Behn read him, then enlarged the role so much that the film shifted towards its young animals.
Q 24What is the name of Nemo's overprotective father in Disney Pixar's 'Finding Nemo'?
Marlin
Marlin was first recorded by William H. Macy; with most of the dialogue done, the director decided the anxious father needed a lighter touch and recast Albert Brooks.
Q 25'Lady and the Tramp' (1955) was the first animated feature shot in which widescreen process?
CinemaScope
Lady and the Tramp was the first animated feature in CinemaScope; because only some cinemas could project the wide image, Disney also issued a second version in the old Academy ratio.
Q 26What is the name of Andy's loyal toy cowboy in Disney Pixar's 'Toy Story' films?
Woody
Woody began as a ventriloquist's dummy, hence the name; the designers dropped the dummy features because they made him look 'sneaky and mean' and turned him into a cowboy doll.
Q 27Which Disney animated film is primarily set in ancient Polynesia?
Moana
Moana sails with the demigod Maui to return the heart of Te Fiti; Disney assembled an 'Oceanic Story Trust' of Pacific Islanders to advise on the film.
Q 28Which young linguist deciphers the journal that guides the expedition in Disney's 'Atlantis: The Lost Empire'?
Milo Thatch
Milo Thatch, voiced by Michael J. Fox, reads the Shepherd's Journal that guides the 1914 expedition, only for its commander to turn on him and steal the crystal that keeps Atlantis alive.
Q 29Which Disney film earned animation's first Academy Award nomination for Best Picture?
Beauty and the Beast
Beauty and the Beast was first shown unfinished, as a work in progress, at the 1991 New York Film Festival, and the audience still gave it a long standing ovation.
Q 30What is the primary setting for Disney's 'The Princess and the Frog'?
New Orleans
