This movie trivia for kids quiz has 100 free questions with answers and sticks to films children have actually seen: Pixar and Disney favourites like Toy Story, Frozen, Moana, Encanto, Coco and Inside Out; DreamWorks and Illumination hits like Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon, Minions, Trolls and Sing; and family classics like Home Alone, E.T., The Wizard of Oz, Mary Poppins, Harry Potter and Paddington. Questions are about characters, sidekicks, places and simple plot points, the things a seven-year-old remembers, not directors or box-office numbers. Every question is genuinely answerable by kids aged about 7 to 12 and there is nothing scary or grown-up in it, so it works for a family movie night, a car ride, a classroom Friday or a birthday party. The last few questions are a little harder for older siblings and parents. Every answer has been checked against Wikipedia's article on the film, and each question shows its source once you have answered.
