Disney Trivia (Expert Edition)

[Zawadi]

The Sea Cabs were the ride vehicles in The Living Seas attraction, where the Clam Mobiles and The Seas with Nemo & Friends resides today.

Correct. In fact the track was lengthened by 85m in order to accommodate the Nemo ride.

• Ray Bradbury
• 1947
• Archimedes
• If you're referring to any of the Fab Five: I'm going with Donald Duck.

• Private Pluto (1943)

All correct!!!

I believe that Chip n Dale were not officially named until 1947 in the cartoon 'Chip n Dale'.

That's this set done.

[Elias1901]

That's this set done.

[Elias1901]

1) Who invented and built the multi-plane camera for Walt Disney Productions?

Ub Iwerks.

2) To go along with Zawadi's previous question: Walt Disney was a member of the Smoke Tree Ranch. What was the Smoke Tree Ranch?

A desert ranch near the village of Palm Springs. Walt built a home here... twice. He sold his first home to help generate funding for his Disneyland project. Walt loved to visit this place! It is often referred to as his hidden hideaway.

3) Who is Bob and Helen Parr's family babysitter?

Kari McKeen.

4) What is Flynn Rider's real name?

His full name is Eugene Fitzherbert.

5) Who are Mickey Mouse's nephews?

Morty and Ferdie.

April, May and June.

7) Walt Disney's Carolwood Pacific barn now resides in what Los Angeles-area park?

Griffith Park.

8) Former Walt Disney Company president Frank Wells aspired to accomplish what feat? How close did he come to accomplishing his goal?

Mr. Wells' goal was to scale the Seven Summits. This entailed climbing the highest mountain on each of the seven continents. At his time of death, he was one mountain short. That mountain was none other than Mount Everest.

9) In Cars 2, what racing circuit does Francesco Bernoulli represent?

The Italian Circuit.

10) True or false: Walt Disney forged his birthdate to become "enlisted' in the military in 1918.

I believe that this is true. I learned about this years ago when watching a Walt Disney documentary... unless you fiddled with the year to trick us!!

[Main Street Jim]

*Very* close I'm looking for something a little more specific.

The Italian Circuit.

Also close

Incorrect. I didn't fiddle with the year at all Read the question again carefully

[Elias1901]

*Very* close I'm looking for something a little more specific.

Also close

Not sure on these ones.

Incorrect. I didn't fiddle with the year at all Read the question again carefully

Actually, come to think about it... I think we've already had this discussion in the trivia section before. Haha.

Well, from what I recall, what I remember hearing was that it wasn't for the military but for an ambulance unit or something? Anyway... I can't tell you exactly. But what I do recall from the "Walt" documentary was forgery on paperwork regarding the military and seeing the visual of not only the paperwork, but his cartoon-ized ambulance with his drawings on the backside canopy.

[Zawadi]

9) In Cars 2, what racing circuit does Francesco Bernoulli represent?

The Autodromo Nazionale Monza, Italy

[Main Street Jim]

Not sure on these ones.

Like I said, *very* close Actually, he was *one day* short of completing his goal. Bad weather prevented the explorer from reaching the summit of Mt. Everest.

Again, real close. It was for a Red Cross unit stationed in France, just a short time before the Allies pulled out of France. He was only there for three short months.

For the "Francesco Bernoulli" question, what I was looking for was the "Formula 1" circuit. All of the race cars in the World Grand Prix represent a different form of racing: Lightning McQueen: American stock car racing, Jeff Corvette: American sports car racing; there's also world sports car racing and rally racing represented.

Just a quick little question... are you a big fan of "Cars 2" or something? You sure know the specifics of that film!

[Main Street Jim]

Well, yes, I *love* both Cars movies, but, more specifically, I'm a HUGE NASCAR fan My dad's owned a race car since about 1974

Which brings me to my next question... Richard Petty Driving Experience?

On a Cars related note, have you been to Cars Land yet? My favourite car from the film is defiantly Doc Hudson. Really a shame that Paul Newman passed away before he could record his dialogue for the Radiator Springs Racers attraction. However, Corey Burton defiantly does him justice.

Have NOT been out to Disneyland yet, but definitely on my bucket list Oh - and coincidentally, Doc's my fave, too....because of the "NASCAR"/racing history he represents. It *is* true that a Hudson Hornet won three straight NASCAR championships in '52, '53, and '54.

But... doesn't the newest Winnie the Pooh movie count as the most recent traditional animated film? That one came out in 2011.

[Elias1901]

1) What distinction does the Matterhorn attraction at Disneyland hold in terms of industry standards?

First tubular-steel roller coaster.

5) What two cities are incorporated into the Walt Disney World property?

I'm going to say Celebration and Golden Oak.

9) What attraction's theme song makes an "appearance" in Disney's Meet the Robinsons?

Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress' "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow", or at least it was on the soundtrack. I don't remember it in the film though. Maybe in the credits? All I know for sure is that it was re-recorded by the group, They Might Be Giants.

The only real Disney Park reference I remember was the appearance of "Yesterdayland" or "Tomorrowland" by our standards. It included glimpses of Space Mountain and the classic spinning rocket ride.

10) What was the original concept behind Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room?

It was to be a restaurant, but things kept getting added and added and it dawned on Walt one day, that "this really oughta be a show". And that's when the award-winning Sherman Brothers (and talents such as Wally Boag, Thurl Ravenscroft, etc.) were brought on to thread it all together... so the story goes.
