Think you know your Disney movies? There’s no better way to put that theory to the test than taking on Disney trivia questions. The company’s been churning out classics since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs — in 1937, mind you! — so you know there’s more than enough material to justify a full Disney trivia game night.

If you’re making an official Disney trivia night of it, stop now and assign someone the role of emcee. They’ll be the person to read off all these Disney trivia questions (and answers) and keep score. The emcee can also choose whether you focus on general Disney trivia or take the game in a more niche direction, because let’s face it: the wonderful world of Disney (trivia) is a big one. Luckily, we’ve done the work of creating categories for you.

Below, you’ll find themed Disney trivia questions and answers that cover a range of both Disney and Disney-Pixar films, from mega-hits like Beauty and the Beast and Toy Story to more fringe fare. (Atlantis: The Lost Empire or Angels in the Outfield, anyone?) And, on the subject of fringe movies, we also added a section of difficult Disney trivia for diehard fans. Playing with friends who don’t own 10 pairs of Mickey Mouse ears? We’ve also got easy Disney quiz questions and answers, too — perfect for your pals who “think they saw the ‘Let It Go’ movie once.”

So, what are you waiting for? Get a Disney movie night on the calendar so everyone can prep. Then, let the trivia games begin!
