“I can show you the world…” and you can show me if you are a Disney expert! It has been proven time and time again that Disney films, particularly their animated films, are one of the most iconic and well-loved films throughout years and generations. Adults and kids alike have something to laugh about, or dream about, or learn from them. Who can forget the Under the Sea rendition of Sebastian? Or who can forget Frozen - a movie about love (that is not entirely romantic) and family and believing in yourself? Since Walt Disney started to animate Mickey Mouse, the Disney roster has only been growing and improving.
But Disney films are not only known for their wonderful animation, endearing life lessons, beautiful musical scores, and iconic characters - they are also known for their Disney villains! A Disney movie will not ever be complete if a villain is not there to highlight the protagonists’ story! And before the protagonists eventually win out, the Disney villains usually win first. And if we can’t forget Ariel the mermaid, surely Ursula is even more unforgettable. The witches from Sleeping Beauty and Snow White were one of the scariest villains to be known to a kid. So take this quiz and see how much you can remember about Disney villains!
