Quiz Time — First & Last Names – Answers

Yesterday I asked you to match first and last names of Disney animated characters. So how did you do? Did you get them all correct? Since most Disney characters don’t have last names, the list of possibilities was already limited for you. I’m sure this quiz was a snap. LOL

Here are the answers.

(A) Alameda (7) Slim

Alameda Slim is the main villain in the 2004 film, “Home on the Range.” Slim is able to hypnotize the cattle he rustles by yodeling. Randy Quaid voiced this character.

(B) Alfredo (17) Linguini

Alfredo Linguini is the inept soul who secures a job as the garbage boy at the Resturant Gusteau in the 2007 film “Ratatouille.” The character’s name is somewhat of a joke as “Alfredo” is a type of cream sauce used on pasta dishes and Linguini is a type of pasta. Linguini was voiced by Lou Romano.

(C) Andy (24) Davis

Andy Davis represents the “child in all of us” and appeared in three movies, “Toy Story” (1995), “Toy Story 2″ (1999), and “Toy Story 3″ (2010). John Morris voiced Andy in all three movies. (Just thinking about “Toy Story 3,” makes me tear up.)

(D) Carl (20) Fredricksen

Carl Fredricksen is the curmudgeonly old man in the 2009 movie “Up.” Carl was voiced by Edward Asner. Carl’s looks were inspired by Spencer Tracy.

(E) Charlotte “Lottie” (18) La Bouff

(F) Chip (13) Potts

Chip Potts is the cute little teacup from the 1991 film “Beauty and the Beast.” Although Chip’s last name is never given, we must assume he shares the surname of his mother, Mrs. Potts.

(G) Cinderella (2) Tremaine

We have to assume that Lady Tremaine took her husband’s name when she married Cinderella’s father. Thus, Cinderella’s last name would be Tremaine. The movie “Cinderella” premiered in 1950. Our heroine was voiced by Ilene Woods. Lady Tremaine was voiced by Eleanor Audley.

(H) Claude (19) Frollo

Judge Claude Frollo is the antagonist in the 1996 film “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.” Voiced by Tony Jay, Flollo lusts after the gypsy Esmeralda and imprisons Quasimodo in the Cathédrale Notre Dame. “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” is considered to be one of the darkest animated films to come out of the Disney Studios.

(I) Cruella (23) de Vil

Betty Lou Gerson voiced Cruella de Vil in the 1961 movie “One Hundred and One Dalmatians.” This over-the-top villain’s name is a play on the words cruel and devil. In some translations, Cruella’s last name was changed to de Mon (demon).

(J) Li (9) Shang

Captain Li Shang was the love interest for Mulan in the movie of the same name. The film opened on June 19, 1998. B.D. Wong voiced Li Shang’s spoken lines and Donny Osmond sang his songs.

(K) Flynn (10) Rider

Flynn Rider was the pseudonym for Eugene Fitzherbert in the movie “Tangled” which opened November 24, 2010. The film was originally titled and marketed as “Rapunzel.” However, Disney felt that this name would limit the movie’s appeal to girls only so the film’s title was changed. Flynn Rider was then featured more prominently in trailers and advertisements to help entice boys into the theaters. Zachary Levi voiced Flynn Rider.

(L) J. Audubon (1) Woodlore

J. Audubon Woodlore is our favorite ranger at Brownstone National Park. More often than not, he’s keeping an eye on Humphrey the Bear. Woodlore appeared in a number of shorts and has been voiced by Bill Thompson and Corey Burton.

(M) J. Thaddeus (3) Toad

J. Thaddeus Toad, Esq., or Mr. Toad as most of us are more familiar, appeared in the 1949 film “The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.” Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride was based on this character and was an opening day attraction at both Disneyland (1955) and the Magic Kingdom (1971), however, the Florida version of this ride closed in 1998. Mr. Toad was voiced by Eric Blore.

(N) J. Worthington (21) Foulfellow

Who knew there were so many Disney characters with the first initial J?

J. Worthington Foulfellow (also known as Honest John) is a cunning and sneaky fox. With his befuddled friend Gideon, they persuaded Pinocchio to ignore his conscience and stray from the straight and narrow. “Pinocchio” opened February 7, 1940. Foulfellow was voiced by Walter Catlett.

(O) Jack (8) Skellington

Jack Skellington is the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town and the main protagonist of the 1993 film “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” Jack, growing weary of celebrating the same holiday year after year, opens a portal to Christmas Town and commandeers the holiday for himself.

(P) James P. (4) Sullivan

James P. “Sulley” Sullivan is the best scarer at Monsters Inc., the power plant that supplies energy to Monstropolis. Voiced by John Goodman, Sulley and his assistant Michael “Mike” Wazowski (voiced by Billy Crystal) discover that laughter provides 10 times more energy than screams. “Monsters Inc. was released on October 23, 2001.

(Q) Jane (14) Porter

Movies need a love interest and Jane Porter provided Tarzan with a girlfriend. Daughter of Archimedes Q. Porter, Jane is the first member of her explorer group to meet Tarzan and a bond grows between them. Disney’s version of this Edgar Rice Burroughs classic opened on June 18, 1999. Jane was voiced by Minnie Driver.

(R) Jessica (12) Rabbit

Without a doubt, Jessica Rabbit is the most provocative character the Disney Studios ever created. As Jessica says to Eddie Valiant, “You don’t know how hard it is being a woman looking the way I do.”

“Who Framed Roger Rabbit” combined the human world with the toon world. In the film, cartoon characters from a number of studios appeared on screen together. Warner Brothers insisted that their biggest star, Bugs Bunny, receive equal screen time with Disney’s Mickey Mouse.

“Who Framed Roger Rabbit” opened on June 22, 1988. Jessica Rabbit was voiced by Kathleen Turner.

(S) John (5) Smith

“Pocahontas” opened June 23, 1995 and told the story of a Native American girl who befriends John Smith, an Englishman searching for gold in the New World. The song “Colors of the Wind” won an Academy Award for Best Song. Pocahontas’ speaking voice was provided by Irene Bedard and her singing voice by Judy Kuhn.

(T) Jose (26) Carioca

Jose Carioca hails from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Jose first appeared with Donald Duck in the movie “Saludos Amigos” in 1943 and again in “The Three Caballeros” in 1944 when Panchito Pistoles joined the duo.

(U) Olivia (22) Flaversham

“The Great Mouse Detective” (July 2, 1986) tells the story of Basil, a crime solving mouse who emulates Sherlock Holmes. In this tale, Olivia’s toymaker father is kidnapped and Basil comes to the rescue. Susanne Pollatschek voiced Olivia.

Because of his super-human powers, Bob Parr and his family have been forced into hiding. However, circumstances force them back into action in the movie “The Incredibles” released on October 27, 2004. Bob Parr was voiced by Craig T. Nelson.

(W) Roger (11) Radcliffe

Everyone remembers Pongo, and Perdita from the movie “One Hundred and One Dalmatians.” But very few remember their owner’s name, Roger Radcliffe (voiced by Ben Wright). It’s interesting to note, Roger’s occupation was a songwriter, yet the movie was not a musical. The only song given any real air time was “Cruella de Vil.”

(X) Thomas (16) O’Malley

After the success of “Lady and the Tramp,” Disney tried to strike gold again with a story about felines in “The Aristocats” (opening December 11, 1970). Although the plot was different, the similarities are glaring. For example, the heroine, Duchess the White Cat (voiced by Eva Gabor) is well-to-do and pampered (just like Lady). She falls in love with an alley cat (similar to Tramp). Thomas O’Malley was voiced by Phil Harris who also voiced Baloo in “The Jungle Book.”

(Y) Wendy (25) Darling

Wendy, Michael, and John are the three children who travel to Neverland in the movie “Peter Pan” (opening on February 5, 1953). Their last name was Darling. In stage versions of this story, the part of Mr. Darling (the children’s father) also often plays the part of Captain Hook. Wendy was voiced by Kathryn Beaumont who also voiced Alice in “Alice in Wonderland.”

(Z) Windwagon (6) Smith

This was perhaps the most difficult of all the questions as Windwagon Smith is definitely a lesser known character (although still the star). This protagonist appeared in a Disney short titled “Windwagon Smith” released on March 16, 1961. The story tells of a sea captain who attempts to cross the American prairie in a wind-driven Conestoga wagon. This short was narrated by Rex Allen.
