There has been one force that has completely dominated the world of animated films in the last few decades. This film company has now created countless amazing movies that have captured the souls and hearts of so many people, both young and old. This company was highly sought after by huge companies in the past, and although it was bought by a massive company, it continues to make massive amounts of money. But perhaps the whole reason why they were so successful is because they didn't care about the money. They stuck with their passion because they loved in it and believed in themselves, and that love and passion for their art really comes across in the films they create.
It should come as no surprise that after all these years, Pixar has become massively famous and popular after the success of pretty much all of their movies. They've amassed a huge army of fans who love everything they do, and these fans are just begging for more Pixar movies to come out as soon as possible. And you yourself might be a fan, considering the fact that you've clicked on this quiz. Maybe you think you're a Pixar fan, but your knowledge is about to be put to the test with this quiz...
Which Was Pixar's First Ever Feature Film?
Pixar kicked it off in style with their first ever film arguably being their most successful. The movie had everything it needed to become a major hit at the box office, and really showed what was possible with Pixar's new technique of animation. With this movie, the era of cartoons was over, and everyone knew that kids animated films were going to look like this from now on. But what was this first ever film by Pixar? Can you remember its name?
Who Owns Pixar?
Pixar is a really groundbreaking company. Although it had humble beginnings, it has now emerged as the leading company that makes animated films. A lot of people never thought it would succeed, but a few people believed in their path and invested heavily in the company. Eventually, it became massive and attracted a huge company to come and buy Pixar. The rest is history. But who is this company that bought Pixar, and now owns the famous animation film company?
What Is The Name Of The Boy That Owns The Toys In Toy Story?
Although the Toys might be the main characters in Toy Story, the movie is not without a few human characters, most notably the owner of all the toys. This boy is just your average kid, although the toys seem him as a kind of god. There's immense honor in being this boy's "favorite" toy, and that's what ends up driving a wedge between Buzz Lightyear and Woody. The boy is a pretty important part of the film. But what's his name?
Where did Andy write his name on Woody?
What made Toy Story such an amazing film? There were many elements that made it gripping. First of all, the characters just seemed to be so alive, more so than we'd ever seen before in other forms of animation. Even the toys themselves, which were not human, cam across like living breathing creatures. One of the most famous characters was the toy Cowboy, who is pretty much the main character in the story of Toy Story. Andy marks him with his name, but do you know where?
What is Buzz Lightyear's catchphrase?
Another very important character in Toy Story is the Toy Astronaut. Astronaut is probably the best way to describe him, although he doesn't really look like a member of any space agency we know of today. He's sort of a mix between a superhero and an astronaut, complete with a jet pack and retractable wings. When he shows up, he kind of steal's Woody's thunder a little bit, and Woody gets jealous of this new toy. What is is his catchphrase?
What kind of fish are Nemo and Marlin?
A hallmark of good Pixar films are well-thought out, intricate characters. This means so much, especially because the characters themselves are animated. We as an audience have greater trouble "connecting" to a character that is animated, because deep down we know it's not real. For Finding Nemo, they actually observed fish for long periods of time so they could tie their movements into their emotions. Not a bad job if you happen to like fish. Do you know what kind of fish Marlin and Nemo are?
Which movie does Bruce get his name from?
A heavily featured group of characters in the box art and posters of Finding Nemo were the three Australian sharks. These characters looked incredible, which was probably why they were put on the cover of the DVD and used in a lot of the promotional work. Every good movie needs to have some bad guys, and at least on the surface these sharks looked like they fitted the bill quite nicely. Which movie did they use as inspiration when naming Bruce?
What Was Wall-E Designed For?
Of all the Pixar films, Wall-E was one that audiences really fell in love with. It was a huge box office success, with tons of people going to see this amazing film. And one of the big reasons it was so popular was because of its main character, a small robot by the name of Wall-E. This little robot was incredibly expressive, and in truth it had to be because the robot had no actual lines. But what was Wall-E actually designed for?
True Or False, The Setting Of Wall-E, A Futuristic Earth In 2085, Is A Clean, Happy Place
Most great Pixar films have two important elements - great characters and a great setting. And Wall-E is no exception. This film has some amazing characters in Wall-E and others, but the setting is what really takes the audience's breath away. It's Earth, far into the future, and things have really changed. Seeing Wall-E scoot around this strange future planet is something that really grips the audience early on. But is it true that the Earth is a clean, happy place?
What Is The Name Of The Probe That Wall-E Falls In Love With?
Of course, the entire film doesn't revolve simply around Wall-E. As interesting as Wall-E is, that would become boring very quickly. Eventually, a new robot actually appears in the area where Wall-E resides, and Wall-E instantly falls in love with her. This robot is clearly very advanced and is designed to probe the area, scanning it for various things. This robot doesn't have treads like Wall-E, she just floats around. She's also very expressive. But do you remember her name?
What Is The Name Of The Antagonist In The Incredibles?
Another great movie from Pixar was the Incredibles. This movie was an interesting take on the superhero flick that has become so popular in recent years. But the film created an art style and a vibe that was entirely its own, and this was an amazing film to watch. Once again, the characters took center stage, and one of the most interesting was its Antagonist, who was a very compelling supervillain. But do you remember what this character's name was?
What Are Mr. Incredible's Powers?
Another very intersting movie released by Pixar is the film The Incredibles. We've already talked about the antagonist of this film, Syndrome, but what about all the good guys? There are actually a few, but the main one is the character from which the movie gets its name, Mr. Incredible. At the beginning of the movie, he's working a desk job that doesn't suit him, and you later find out that he's actually a superhero. But what are his powers?
What Power Does Violet Parr (Mr. Incredible's Daughter) Have?
Of course, superpowers run in the family, especially when Mr. Incredible married another superhero, and had children with her. This superhero he married was Elastigirl, and they ended up having three children, all three of which had superpowers. The eldest is Violet Parr, and she comes across as a moody teenager and somewhat of an emo. But her powers are nothing to scoff at, and they become useful later in the film. But do you remember Violet Parr's super powers?
True Or False, Jack-Jack Has Shapeshifting Abilities
The youngest child of Mr. Incredible is Jack Jack, and he is only a toddler. This child, at least at the beginning of the movie, seems to exhibit no powers, something that is somewhat disappointing to his parents. But even if he seems to have no powers, he serves as some pretty hilarious comic relief in the early parts of the film. But at the end, it is actually revealed that Jack Jack DOES have powers. But is it true that he has shapeshifting powers?
True Or False, Mirage Has No Powers
Another very interesting character in The Incredibles is Mirage. Although she doesn't play as big of a role as some of the other main characters, she still plays a part in the turning point of the entire film. Although she starts off being an ally to Syndrome, she later turns on him after he endangers her life, and chooses to help Mr. Incredible and his family instead. She is quite a striking character in terms of her image. But is it true she has no powers?
What is Frozone's most quoted line?
Although he's not part of the Parr family, Frozone is another very important character in the movie The Incredibles. He is an ally of Mr. Incredible, although right at the beginning of the movie, he too has hung up his outfit and stopped being a superhero, integrating into civilian life with ease. He is voiced by Samuel L. Jackson, and he's a great character. This character has some pretty cool powers. What funny phrase is he best remembered for?
How Do Employees At Monsters, Inc Manage To Generate Energy For Their City?
Another very interesting movie and one that many people remember is Monsters, Inc. This movie took us to a completely different world, and once again highlighted Pixar's skill in creating complete, immersive world that really satisfy our imaginations. The world of Monsters, Inc was one ruled entirely by monsters, and they have their own city and infrastructure. Their energy source is one that is especially interesting, and it plays a major part in the movie. But how does Monsters, Inc generate electricity?
What Is The Name Of Sully's One-Eyed Assistant?
The two main stars of the show in Monsters, Inc are Sully and his assistant. Sully is a bright blue bear-like monster with horns, and he's pretty much the coolest guy at his workplace. Everyone knows his name and looks up to him. But he's also pretty reliant on his assistant, who is a bright green creature who is basically an eyeball with arms and legs. This secondary character is pretty hilarious. But do you remember the name of this assistant?
Who Is Sully's Rival?
Of course, not everyone looks at Sully with admiration. There is one guy at the company that would probably love to see this guy fail miserably. That's because this rival of Sully always comes in second place to the bright blue creature, and can never quite generate as much energy as Sully by scaring children. This leads to an understandable amount of frustration, and he even tries to sabotage Sully on more than one occasion. But what is this rival's name?
What Does Sully Call The Girl He Meets?
Sully and Mike might be the main two characters, but there is also another character who comes in and plays a very major role. This is the human child that somehow makes it into the Monster's world, and doesn't seem to be scared by the monsters at all. This becomes a major obstacle to Mike and Sully, who must somehow find a way to return her to her own world. But do you remember the name of this little human female?
What Does "Ratatouille" Mean?
Another very memorable film by Pixar was Ratatouille. This film took place in France, where cooking is a very big deal.

But Remy actually manages to control the man in a very strange way. But do you remember how Remy actually controlled the young cook?
Who is Gusteau's Illegitimate Son, And Rightful Heir To The Restaurant?
Gusteau is another very important character in the Ratatouille story, although he's actually dead when it happens. He sometimes appears as a ghost, and other times he is referred to as a painting. Remy actually learns how to cook from a cookbook written by Gasteau. As such, Remy idolizes Gasteau and lives by his example. But partway through the film, it is discovered that Gasteau had an illegitimate son. This son is actually the heir of the restaurant. But who is this heir?
Antz Was Accused Of Copying Which Pixar Film?
One Pixar film was a lot more controversial than many of the others. This film was released at almost the exact same time as another very similar film called Antz. The result were public accusations from Pixar that Antz had completely copied the concept of their own movie, which was publicly known about at the time Antz went into development. The result is a rare, strange occurrence where the two films were virtually identical. But what Pixar film was this, that Antz allegedly copied?

Instead, he wants the love of his life to notice him. But who is this love interest?
What leads Merida to the witch?
Another slightly more recent Pixar movie is Brave. This is a really great movie because it tackles issues that are very prevalent and relevant today. The story is about a young girl who doesn't want to subscribe to gender norms. She also lives in a patriarchal society that expects her to get married without having any say in it herself. But as she proves, she is a strong woman who doesn't need a man. After going off on her own, she finds a witch and accidentally curses her own mother. How does she find the witch?

What does she do to win?
Who Is The Racing Rookie And Main Character In Cars?

What is the name of the girl that these emotions live inside of?
We've talked at length about Pixar's ability to impart valuable life lessons onto its young audiences, but they did a really good job of this in particular with the film that took place inside the mind of a young girl. This movie had some of the most beautifully thought out messages of any of their movies, and showed us all the value of proper emotional intelligence. They really should be applauded for this one. But what is the name of this film?
What is Bing Bong?
Inside Out was an amazing film in so many ways. You really got the sense that the producers of this movie at Pixar Animation Studios were trying to do something that had never been done before, either in their studios or by any other movie in general. To do this, they had to dig deep into their own personal knowledge of how emotions develop in children. Part of that was coming up with character Bing Bong who serves a very special purpose.
Who originally lost Dory?
Finding Nemo might well be the most successful Pixar movie of all time. It's the highest-selling DVD of all time, as previously mentioned. It also won an Academy Award. So in light of all this, it comes as no surprise that there was a sequel. It's easy to assume that Pixar was just trying to cash in on the success of the first film, but there's no denying that the sequel was actually a really interesting film and a worthy successor. Who was trying to find Dory?
Who Voiced The Character Of Dory?
The main character of Finding Dory is of course Dory. For any movie, the casting of the main character is a very important decision.

But he hatches a scheme to escape and make it to his ideal getaway, Paradise Falls. But how does he do it?
What Type Of Animal Has Carl Vowed To Find At Paradise Falls?
But Carl didn't just choose to go to Paradise Falls out of the blue. Far from it. He actually chose to go there because he had made a lifelong vow to visit there one day, and he finally gets to do it. The whole reason he wants to go there is because there is rumored to be a wild exotic animal that lives there that no one has ever been able to find. But what kind of animal is this?
Who Is the Voice Actor For Woody In Toy Story?
Another very important voice acting role that Pixar had to cast was the role of Woody. This was their fist big film, so everything had to be perfect.

The voice acting in Toy Story was incredible, and these actors should be applauded for their efforts. But do you know which voice actor voiced the role of Woody?
Who Is Andy's Neighbor Who Tortures Toys?
Of course, they weren't all cheerful characters in Toy Story. If we were given only happy toys and children to watch, it would have been very boring. That's where the boy next door comes in.

But is he really that evil? They're just toys, after all. But do you remember his name?

What happens to the toys at the end of Toy Story 3?

After everything the toys have been through together, who knows what will happen to them next.
What was the name of Carl's wife?

And it's without doubt that Wall-E probably took strong influences from this Star Wars robot. But is it true that the same voice actor who voiced R2-D2 also voiced Wall-E?
Which vehicle ties the Pixar universe together?

Those of you who are part of the younger generations might not even know who Paul Newman is, but he was a huge actor back in the day and one of the all-time greats.

Finding Nemo is undoubtedly one of the best productions by Pixar Animation Studios. The movie did everything right.

Who Sold Pixar To Disney, A Purchase That Made Him Disney's Single Largest Shareholder At The Time?
We've already talked about Pixar's early history, and how they were sold to Disney a while ago. This was a huge move, and an intelligent one at that.

True Or False, Pixar Began In 1979 As "The Graphics Group," Which Was Part Of Lucasfilm
Pixar had some pretty interesting beginnings. You have to remember that Pixar were total pioneers in their business. No one else was doing what they were doing. They began in an era when all animated films were cartoon type feature films like Mulan, The Seven Dwarfs, and things of that nature. But slowly but surely, Pixar completely took over. Now it's rare to even see a cartoon movie anymore. But is it true that Pixar started out as a subsidiary of Lucasfilm?
