Since Toy Story first premiered in 1995, Pixar has been producing some truly great animated films. These movies create brilliantly bright and colorful worlds with distinct personalities and stories. Each one has a lesson at its core, but rather than just resorting to some of the same old tropes that most kids movies do, Pixar films try to uncover deep truths that can apply to both kids and adults equally. The characters in these films are frequently funny, but they are also empathetic and easy to relate to.
After all, how many people have ever felt like they were being replaced by someone who was new and more exciting? How many parents have worried about their children and all of the possible things that could go wrong for them? How many kids (and adults) have wondered why we feel the way we feel about different things? Or how memories that were once happy can become sad? Pixar is not afraid to jump right into this kind of complicated subject matter and explore themes and stories that might not be featured in other animated films.
That is not to say that Pixar films also can't be a lot of fun. Often they are packed with humor, heart, and lovable characters. There are plenty of fans out there who love each and every film in the Pixar canon (even Monsters University). Those people might even have trouble with this Pixar quiz, which would leave even the biggest Pixar fans scratching their heads!

Over the course of the film, the two toys become friends. What is the name of the kid who owns these toys?

Woody and Buzz are lifted out of the claw machine, but unfortunately, it is not by Andy.

This kid is bad news, and after he takes Woody and Buzz home, they know it is only a matter of time before he does something to them.

When all of the food is lost by Flik, he says he will head to the city and find a group of warrior bugs to protect them. However, the group that he finds are not warriors at all. They take the job because they think he is talking about something else.

The biggest problem the colony of ants faces is providing enough food for themselves as well as all of the grasshoppers who keep the ants under control.

He enforces this natural order with an iron fist, and will never stop treating the ants poorly. It is his anger and unreasonable demands that force the ants to realize that he needs to be stopped entirely. In the end, he is taken down by the one thing that he is most afraid of.
What do the ants build in order to scare the bad guys away?
The ants are running low on resources to give to the grasshoppers, and they realize, with the help of Flik’s inventive thinking, that they need to do something drastic in order to stop the grasshoppers once and for all. After the warrior bugs reveal that they are not warriors at all, the ants must come up with a new plan. Since they do not have enough food for what Hopper asked for, they devise a plan to build something that will scare the grasshoppers away for good. The plan almost works, but things just start to go wrong right at the very end.
