About This Quiz

Ever since Snow White burst onto the silver screen in 1937 as the first full-length animated feature film and introduced us to the idea of the animated movie musical, Disney has remained the leading name in thoughtful, inspiring tales about brightly colored characters singing and dancing their way to true love, heroism and coming of age. While only Beauty and the Beast was ever nominated for Best Picture, Disney has repeatedly won Oscars for its songs. Writers like Elton John, Tim Rice, the late lamented Howard Ashman, married duo Bobby and Kristen Andersen-Lopez and more have brought their characters to life with memorable numbers from "Under the Sea" to "Circle of Life" to "He's a Tramp." Indeed, there are some amazingly clever and satisfying lyrics in the less noteworthy songs. Whether it's a hilariously French character singing it up in absurd "franglais" or the intricate and crafty rhymes of Clopin in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, there's a wordplay to make even the finest musical connoisseur smile.

You remember the movies, sure, and you remember the songs - but do you remember any of the lines besides the hook? Are you willing to test your Disney savvy against this fiendishly difficult quiz? Let's find out!
