50 free Strange World trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Strange World arrived on November 23, 2022, from Walt Disney Animation Studios, directed by Don Hall and written by Qui Nguyen. Three generations of the Clade family, explorer Jaeger, farmer Searcher and teenager Ethan, travel into a sinkhole beneath the land of Avalonia to find out why the miracle plant Pando is dying, and discover that their whole world is riding on the back of a giant creature. Jake Gyllenhaal, Dennis Quaid, Jaboukie Young-White, Gabrielle Union and Lucy Liu lead the voice cast. This quiz covers the story and its twist, the characters from Legend the three-legged dog to the blue blob Splat, the pulp-magazine and Jules Verne inspirations, the easter eggs that nod to Firefly and Star Trek, Henry Jackman's score, the Disney 100 logo that debuted on the film, and the box-office run that made it one of the biggest flops on record before it topped Disney+. Fifty questions, four options each, with a short explanation after every answer. Play in sets of ten or print it for family movie night.
