Just a part of what makes Disney so special is that it’s been in our lives for generations, bringing movie lovers together with stories of animated creatures from all over the globe, not to mention their countless live-action projects. Many childhood favorites from past decades have been brought to life on the big screen in new ways, as we saw with The Lion King in 2019. Beyoncé was a huge part of bringing that to life, and now, her eldest daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, is carrying on the family legacy as she voices Kiara in the upcoming prequel film, Mufasa. The movie has a scheduled release date of December 20th, so before then, you’ll want to make sure you’re up on your Disney Trivia.

We’ve split our questions into two categories, the first is relatively simple – mostly about filming locations or obvious details from the movies we love. Further down on the page, you’ll find our more advanced Disney Trivia, challenging you to name all the superpowers in The Incredibles family and testing your knowledge of the history of Disney parks. See how many of these you and your friends can answer, then tell us your score out of 75 in the comments. Good luck!
