Are you a real Disney fan? Maybe you are the kind of person who knows more about Disney than what some people know about their favorite sports teams. This obsessive nature is what make being a Disney fan so great! There is always something new to look forward to or you can look to the past for some amazing works of film and animation.
I love everything Disney, so I wanted to go all out and give you the quiz that will put all of your Disney knowledge to the test. This quiz will go to great lengths to test your knowledge of a large number of secondary characters from a wide array of Disney films of the last fifty years. Whether it be your knowledge of the Disney/Pixar branch of animation or strictly old school Disney, I think this quiz will have something that will stump just about everyone.
The way the quiz is going to work is as follows: you will be given a description of the character and who in the film they directly relate to. It might not always be the parents of the main character of that specific film, so you'll have to be on your toes!
Good luck on the quiz! As always, be sure to post your quiz results in the comments section below and share this quiz with all of your Disney friends to find out who among you is the ultimate Disney fan! Stay tuned to TheQuiz for all your entertainment quiz needs!
What is the name of Belle's Father?
When you really think about it, none of the story of Beauty and the Beast would have happened had it not been for Belle's father getting lost in the woods and set upon by wolves. As a matter of fact, it would have probably been a much shorter film where Gaston would try to court Belle using the guise that no one was around any longer to protect her. Thank goodness her father did get captured! Now what was his name?
What is the name of Moana's father?
Moana is without a doubt, one of the best entries in the Disney Pixar line of films in a long, long time. It features the story of a young woman who realizes that in order to make a difference and find her destiny, she must take matters into her own hands. Along the way she meets the demigod Maui who is played by Dwayne Johnson and their chemistry is absolutely electrifying. What was the name of Moana's father who is the chief of her home island?
What is the name of Dory's father?
Finding Dory surprised me by being a sequel that I enjoyed just as much if not more than the original. It was a film that knew how to make callbacks to the original without overshadowing the narrative of the new film. In terms of animation, the film also went above and beyond in its water rendering making the film an absolute spectacle to watch. Hopefully your memory isn't as bad as Dory's and you can remember the name of her father!
What is Tiana's father's name?
I absolutely loved "The Princess and the Frog" when it first came out. In a time where computer generated animation has taken center stage on the big screen, it was nice to see a more traditionally animated film. The story of the film was also incredible and was one of my favorite films at the time of its release. The characters were all so fun and interesting to watch and Tiana quickly became one of my favorite Disney princesses of all time.
Who is Pinocchio's father?
Now Pinocchio may not be the most traditional Disney character and his father may not be biologically related to him, but that doesn't make them any less of a family. I remember Pinocchio as being one of the first Disney films I ever saw and it was a truly divisive experience. I loved the character Pinocchio and songs like "When You Wish Upon a Star" but certain elements of the film scared me, like when the young boy transforms into a donkey. Creepy stuff
What is the name of Ariel's father?
The Little Mermaid was a story that I was actually familiar with before seeing the Disney animated film. I remembered reading the original story as a child and thinking that the animated movie version would be really scary if it followed the source material. Because of this I didn't see the film for a few years, but when I did I realized that Disney made it quite a bit more family friendly and the film quickly became one of my favorites.
What is Simba's mom's name?
"The Lion King" is a great Disney film because of the source material it borrows from classical theatre of the late 1500's and early 1600's. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, I'm referring to the fact that the Lion King is framed around William Shakespeare's "Hamlet." Both stories are catalyzed by the uncle of the family murdering the patriarchal king in an attempt to gain power and the son's struggle to take that power back and become a man.
What is Rapunzel's mom's name?
Tangled was a surprisingly fun film. I missed it during its theatrical release and didn't see it until a few years later but better late than never right? The film was written with the wit of modern society but took place in a fantastical world associated with medieval times that really helped the film's critical reception. It was the perfect way for Disney to adapt an old school folk tale into something that was both charming and endearing to audiences.
What is the name of Judy's father?
Zootopia was a smash hit when it first released in theaters and has continued to see success in the time since. Its lovable characters and sarcastic wit made it a critical darling in the eyes of both parents and kids alike. In the film, Judy Hopps, a small town bunny makes her way to Zootopia to pursue a career as a police officer. What was the name of her father in the film who encouraged her along but was always nervous for her safety?
What are Anna and Elsa's parents' names?
Frozen was an absolute smash hit of a musical powerhouse when it first released and has continued its stream of popularity ever since. It is currently in the process of becoming a hit Broadway musical and audiences won't be letting it go anytime soon. Anna and Elsa's parents were mostly absent in the film after a fatal shipwreck left the children orphaned but they still have a big impact on the story. What were the names of Anna and Elsa's parents?
What is Andy's mom's name?
To be perfectly honest, I didn't know the answer to the question when I first began writing this quiz so if you did, props to you. Toy Story has always had a special place in my heart as I remember growing up with the Buzz and Woody toys in my own home after the release of the movie where I could recreate their onscreen adventures and have adventures of my own. What was the name of Andy's mom in the movie?
What is the name of Nemo's father?
Most of the film Finding Nemo is all about Nemo's father scouring the ocean in an attempt to find his lost son. The story takes this character and Dory, a short term memory loss fish, across the ocean to Sydney, Australia where father and son are finally reunited. This film was a lot of fun to watch growing up and is one of those films where you will always find something new to enjoy with each time you come back to it.
What is the name of Princess Aurora's mother?
Sleeping Beauty has always been an absolute classic Disney film in my mind. It features the traditional Disney princess guidelines of medieval castles, dragons, and a damsel in distress which all seem like antiquated concepts in the modern world for a number of reasons. I find the nostalgia factor for films like these harken back to a time of simpler animation style that audiences had not yet grown tired of so its a film that I enjoy revisiting now and again.
What is the name of Brave's mother?
Brave is a very interesting film in the long legacy of the Disney Pixar animation studio. It never really garnered as much fame or critical praise as other films from the studio, but I find it to be a rather charming film. The story follows a young girl who doesn't want to conform to society and how that affects her life. The film really throws some curveballs at you too, like when the mother is transformed into a bare as the main conflict in the film.
Jasmine's father holds what royal title?
Aladdin is one of the classic Disney films and features some great vocal talent, from the incredible Robin Williams as the voice of the Genie to Gilbert Gottfried who does the voice of Jafar's bird companion. In the film, Jafar is a nefarious villain who will stop at nothing to gain power and respect from those around him and attempts to overthrow Jasmine's father. What is the royal title held by Jasmine's father that Jafar so desperately seeks for himself.
What is Tiana's mother's name?
I absolutely loved "The Princess and the Frog" when it first came out. In a time where computer generated animation has taken center stage on the big screen, it was nice to see a more traditionally animated film. The story of the film was also incredible and was one of my favorite films at the time of its release. The characters were all so fun and interesting to watch and Tiana quickly became one of my favorite Disney princesses of all time.

It was a film that knew how to make callbacks to the original without overshadowing the narrative of the new film. In terms of animation, the film also went above and beyond in its water rendering making the film an absolute spectacle to watch. Hopefully your memory isn't as bad as Dory's and you can remember the name of her father!
What are the parents' names in Inside Out?
Inside Out was the film that started the era of excellent Pixar films following the unpopularity of the cars sequels or planes. Inside Out was able to make a simple premise of emotions impacting our lives and make it extraordinary with the characterization of each emotion as a human character. This led to a series of interesting confrontations and dialogue over specific events that created a witty commentary on psychology and did so in a kid friendly way. What a remarkable film.
What is the name of the dad in Meet the Robinsons?
Meet the Robinsons was one of Disney's last films to feature a very large class of characters in its roster. If you look at the films released after this one, they tend to be smaller, more family oriented pieces. The fun thing about the film though was its huge cast of characters from the main character to the dinosaur in the film that was really on front display during the marketing of the film. I mean it was in like every trailer.
What is the name of Jack Sparrow's father?
Pirates of the Caribbean is my favorite live action Disney film series of all time. Seeing The Curse of the Black Pearl as a kid ignited my interest in pirates and the history behind the films. Of course Captain Jack Sparrow quickly became a favorite character in my eyes and many others. I loved the way they incorporated the series into the Kingdom Hearts video game series which is currently awaiting its third mainline sequel which I am very excited for.
Who is Pocahontas' father?
Pocahontas was a film that I was first shown in elementary school as part of the history month where every week was dedicated to a different aspect of American history. Even back then, I had heard that the film was a misrepresentation of the life and struggles of the actual Pocahontas and was surprised that my teacher believed most of the film to be historically accurate which is part of the reason why this film isn't very high on my Disney favorites list.
What is Arlo's father's name?
Okay did anyone actually see The Good Dinosaur? It was so impressively odd but never really reached a point of being anything more than average. The visuals of the film were absolutely stunning which made it stand out in that aspect. Sadly, the story of the film was super uninteresting and felt like it had been cobbled together without any real attachment to the characters or the world they lived in. And yes, I'll admit that I actually paid money to see this one in theaters.
What is Judy's mom's name?
Zootopia was a smash hit when it first released in theaters and has continued to see success in the time since. Its lovable characters and sarcastic wit made it a critical darling in the eyes of both parents and kids alike. In the film, Judy Hopps, a small town bunny makes her way to Zootopia to pursue a career as a police officer. What was the name of her mother in the film who encouraged her along but was always nervous for her safety
What is the name of Milo's father?
Too many people forget about the film "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" but I would be putting my writing talents to waste if I did not mention one of my favorite and criminally underrated Disney films of all time. As a kid, I sometimes confused this film with Treasure Planet, but this one was so much better when I went back to watch it as an adult. Milo was one of my favorite characters of all time when the movie was popular!
What are the names of the people who raised Hercules?
This question is one that I think will stump most of you who take this quiz, but if you're able to name these two, then you get mad respect from me. Hercules was the first film I ever saw in theaters at a very young age and I think that is why the film holds a special place in my heart. I also didn't know it at the time, but Danny DeVito would go on to become one of my favorite actors of all time.
