We have nearly all grown up watching Disney movies, some even half a dozen times. Many Disney movies have turned into beloved classics that we plan on watching with our own kids and maybe even grand-kids. These iconic childhood movies certainly aren’t what they used to be, but would you be able to correctly identify these scenes?
Don’t worry – this isn’t one of those ultra-easy quizzes where the answers are practically written out on the screencap. The included movie stills are slightly more obscure and only a true Disney fan would be able to get them right. Some are perhaps easier than others, but in nearly all of them, you’re going to need to flex your memory.
You will be tested on some of the most famous and loved Disney movies, such as Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Lion King, Snow White and many others. So try your hand and make sure to look for clues in the backgrounds of the images. In many of the stills, it’s enough to look at the vegetation or Disney extras that serve as comedic relief. In others, the way the screencaps have an older appearance is also helpful in determining the movie in question.
