50 free Disney Movies trivia questions with answers. Kids know their movies better than most adults, and this quiz is built for them. It runs 99 questions on the films children actually watch on repeat: Frozen, Moana, Encanto, Toy Story, The Lion King, Finding Nemo, Coco, Zootopia and the Disney classics their parents grew up on. Most questions are pitched so an 8- to 12-year-old can answer them without help: character names, sidekicks, songs, magic objects and which film a scene comes from. A handful near the end are harder, about the studio's history and the people behind the films, so grown-ups playing along still have something to chew on. Every answer has been checked against a reference source, shown under each question once you answer, so it is safe for a classroom movie day, a birthday party or a family quiz night.
