About This Quiz
Welcome to our toast (pun intended!) of Disney movies and the dishes they've inspired. What? You don't think of Disney films and food in the same sentence? Sure, these flicks are full of fairytale kingdoms, talking wildlife and creepy villains, but they're also rife with gooseberry pie, spaghetti and meatballs and beignets. Yum!
If you think about it, a great deal of Disney movies center on food: Think of the tea party in "Alice in Wonderland," Winnie the Pooh's obsession with honey and the Italian feast that graces the promotional material for "Lady and the Tramp." There's even an entire scene in "Beauty and the Beast" with dancing cutlery and a menu that includes beef ragout and "pie and pudding 'en flambe!'" Not only are Disney characters getting active in the kitchen, but they're whipping up some pretty refined plates!
Now we want to know if your menu mastery of these Disney classics is worthy of our five-star quiz! Do you remember which flick features spinach puffs? Who got caught red-headed with a stolen baguette? What were the Banks' children munching on when Mary Poppins coined the nonsense word "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?" Peruse the menu of questions here, make your selections and sit back and enjoy our quiz from appetizer to dessert!
You can't beat a good sandwich, and apparently Horace and Jasper from "101 Dalmatians" agree. They nosh on bread and meat while guarding the stolen puppies for their villainous boss, Cruella de Vil.
Stitch from "Lilo & Stitch" is excited to see cake arrive at the table until he tastes it and then spits it out. We're not sure why; traditional black forest cake has chocolate cake, cherry filling and whipped cream. Yum.
Poor Aladdin. You may have a hard time faulting him for his "crime," a stolen baguette from a nearby market. This scene from "Aladdin" causes its main character to go on the run from the authorities.

Simba becomes a bug eater for a short while, hanging around with Timon and Pumbaa in "The Lion King." As they say, "When in Rome ..." and Simba learns to adapt to his new environment and friends.
Let's make one thing clear: empire biscuits aren't really biscuits at all, at least not in American culture. Here, we call them cookies, and these delicacies from "Brave" are two shortbread cookies with jam in the middle.
Woody and Buzz Lightyear have to venture to Pizza Planet in "Toy Story" to track down their owner, Andy. That reminds us: Pineapple most definitely does not belong on pizza. This has been a public service announcement.

It's Mia's first big appearance since her makeover in "The Princess Diaries," when she dips into her palate cleanser (what is it, exactly?) a little too vigorously. She immediately learns from her mistake, getting a big dose of brain freeze.
Falling into a bowl of Cheerios would be bad enough, but can you imagine being eaten for breakfast? Yikes. This scenario plays out in the hilarious "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids," which was almost "Honey, I ATE The Kids."
From the cover of the DVD or Blu-Ray sold on store shelves to promotional material for the upcoming live-action version, you simply cannot separate spaghetti and meatballs from "Lady and the Tramp." Pass the garlic bread.

As their nanny, Mary Poppins, and her friend, the chimney sweep, are singing "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," the Banks' children are perched atop a fence chomping down on caramel apples. It sounds like a great fall treat to us!
Appropriately named "The Big Donut," the store selling these glazed and yeast treats plays a central role in "Zootopia." The giant sign atop the building is kicked off its stands and goes rolling down the street.

Again with the biscuit/cookie debate! We're pretty sure the "biscuit" in question in "Pocahontas" is actually a cookie that John Smith feeds to Meeko, the raccoon, in the movie. It's OK; we like biscuits AND cookies.
Tiana and her dad are well-suited to southern Louisiana cooking with their attempt at gumbo in "The Princess and the Frog." Tiana's dash of Tabasco at the end earns the dish high praise from her dad.
We'd go on a sushi date with you anytime, Mike! Mike and Celia dine on sushi in the Disney film "Monsters Inc." But it does have us wondering: What kind of sushi do monsters choose to dine on?

Hercules is attempting to balance an egg during training when it inadvertently lands on Phil's head in "Hercules." Phil is so incensed that his head becomes hot enough to fry the egg. Over-medium, anyone?

The turkey dinner from "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" has us dreaming about Thanksgiving dinner all. year. long. It's the feast featured in the 1949 Disney movie based on "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."

In "Finding Nemo," even the sharks are kind, refusing to eat and instead befriend the fish around them, with the mantra "Fish are friends, not food." In real life, though, we know fish make a fine meal — in the sea or out.

Giselle from "Enchanted" is just about to dive into her apple martini, when a rodent jumps up on the table, thwarting her attempt. "Enchanted" plays on many of the features of other Disney animated movies — this time, it's an apple.
Shelled peanuts are Timothy Q. Mouse's dish of choice while he works to defend his friend, Dumbo, from others who make fun of him. The star of "Dumbo" later shuts up his haters with his skills and abilities.
"Beef ragout, cheese soufflé/Pie and pudding, on flambé ..." How's a girl to choose? We're guessing Belle doesn't indulge in much, to keep that girlish figure that stuns in her signature yellow ballgown later on.

Edgar in "The Aristocats" knew that kitties love milk, so what better way to kidnap them than to drug their supply? Of course, if you're trying to recreate crème de la crème à la Edgar, you should leave out the sleeping potion.
Luckily, Alice from "Alice in Wonderland" stumbles upon "Eat Me Cookies," magical treats that help her grow to a giant size in order to reach a key on a table. She later finds a liquid marked "Drink Me" to return to a smaller size.
You've probably seen Miss Chiquita and her basket of fruit atop her head, but how about Lewis' similar look in "Meet the Robinsons?" Wilbur tells Lewis that his hair will give him away (as though a hat of fruit won't).

We don't know what they're made of, and we don't care. We're just relieved to know that the Twinkie, which survived in "WALL-E," will be around when the world ends. Give us all that fluffy cream filling!
You've always heard "Don't eat the yellow snow," but what if it's not really yellow snow and just limoncello-flavored snow cones? The Abominable Snowman in "Monsters Inc." offers them up to Mike and Sully.
It's not the holidays without hot cocoa, and Santa Claus, from the appropriately titled "Santa Clause" franchise, would agree. This treat is offered up by Judy the Elf, whose famous hot cocoa is well-revered.

Everyone is a little embarrassed by their parents when they're kids, right? Things aren't any different for Max in "A Goofy Movie." But he does show his softer side toward his dad when he uses his soup to spell out a sweet message.
That's right — eggs and bacon! You may eat it alongside your porridge (if you eat porridge at all), but in "Mulan," Mushu adds it to the top — in the shape of a cute little smiley face, of course.
Hosting a party? You might want to add Kronk's spinach puffs to the menu, as seen in "The Emperor's New Groove." Kronk is another Disney character who dreams of a culinary career, and his puffs are a favorite.

Not only were the fairies attempting to make a cake without using their magical abilities, but they were also attempting it on a 15-layer cake. The result was a bit of a blue-and-pink mess.
That's a HOT mistake to make! In "Cars 2," Mater mistakes wasabi for pistachio ice cream, giving him a vastly different culinary experience than he originally expected. Of course, we're talking about cars eating human food here, so anything goes.
Early in the movie, Snow White is found in the kitchen, alongside some helpful birds, crafting a gooseberry pie for one of the dwarfs — Grumpy. Shortly thereafter, the famous apple — and the evil witch — make an appearance.

Ah, beignets, those pillowy, sugary balls of fried dough. They're famous in New Orleans and, apparently, in "The Princess and the Frog," as Tiana shows serious baking chops in preparing them.
The feast of coconuts, ants, bananas and prickly pears coincides with the singing of the popular song from "The Jungle Book," "The Bare Necessities." Hey, at least his diet is, um, diverse?
We're just guessing here, but we suspect Rapunzel's chocolate chip cookie recipe is something to behold. After spending a good portion of her life locked away in a tower in "Tangled," she would have plenty of time to craft a five-star cookie.
