50 free Lady and the Tramp trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
40 free Lady and the Tramp trivia questions with answers. Lady and the Tramp gave the movies its most famous plate of spaghetti, and this quiz digs into everything around it. Forty questions cover the 1955 story of the pampered cocker spaniel and the mutt from the wrong side of the tracks: the Christmas hatbox, Jim Dear and Darling, Jock and Trusty, Aunt Sarah and her Siamese cats Si and Am, the muzzle, the dog pound gang, the rat in the nursery, Tony's restaurant and 'Bella Notte'. It also covers how the film got made: the chow puppy Walt gave his wife in 1925, Joe Grant's springer spaniel, Ward Greene's magazine story about Happy Dan, the CinemaScope gamble, Frank Thomas rescuing the spaghetti scene, and Peggy Lee's four voices and her $3 million videotape lawsuit. The last stretch covers the 2001 sequel with Scamp and the 2019 Disney+ remake. Easy questions ask what breed Lady is and where the dinner date happens; the hard ones want the cats' original names, the writer of the source story and the amount of the Peggy Lee judgment. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on the films and their makers, and each question carries the sentence that supports it.
