Question #14 is a subject for debate as different movies got different TV shows but some of them in the form of character spinoffs: one major example being "The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa" which only feature Timon and Pumbaa with other TLK characters making cameos once in a while. "Jungle Cubs" is sorta iffy cause it's the Jungle Book characters as cubs but you rarely see Mowgli in the show. "101 Dalmatians" is another iffy one too cause although it is a TV series based off a film it only focuses around a few certain characters most of the time and none of them main leads. A couple you forgot is "Winnie the Pooh" and "The Emperor's New School".

Question #15 is a matter of opinion mostly.

Answers:
3. Peter Pan, The Jungle Book

Do Tigger Movie, Piglet's Big Movie, and Heffalump not count?

For question 9, is Disney officially on record about The Great Mouse Detective being the first animated classic to use CGI? I remember them making a big deal about using it in the Big Ben scene. But there's a scene in The Black Cauldron when the dragons (I forget what they're actually called) are chasing Hen Wen and I'd swear the field they are flying over looks CGI (though that could just be my perception).

For question 18, technically Mickey Mouse also appears in Fantasia 2000 (besides Fun & Fancy Free) since The Sorcerer's Apprentice segment appears in both Fantasia and Fantasia 2000.

For question 20, in addition to those mentioned (i.e., Saludos Amigos, Three Caballeros, Make Mine Music, Fun and Fancy Free, Melody Time and Dinosaur) don't forget Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 (interstitials). I'd also include Lilo & Stitch. There's a few very brief instances of live action when Stitch looks into the window of an electronics store and watches B&W horror movies on the TVs in the window.

This is true. The Black Cauldron was the first to use any CGI.

I'd also include Lilo & Stitch. There's a few very brief instances of live action when Stitch looks into the window of an electronics store and watches B&W horror movies on the TVs in the window.

Also, both The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and Winnie the Pooh open and close with Live-Action Scenes.

The field is not CG as far as I know, but it's been a while since I've sat down to watch it. However, the cauldron itself is definitely CG toward the end of the film. I've never really been able to differentiate it though as there's so freakin' much going on at once.

Shouldn't "cannon" be spelled canon?

[Disney Duster]

This was fun!

But for question 20, any film that opens with a live-action storybook "incorporates live-action". That includes even the first film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Pinocchio is the only one I can think of that has an animated storybook instead of a live-action one.

Thanks. I forgot all about those! That's why I said for people to feel free to correct and repost.

3. Peter Pan, The Jungle Book

Yes, I believe they do. I had completely forgotten about those. Thanks for reminding me.

[Angeldude98]

You know, I wasn't sure about that as actually English is not my first language and I still struggle with some words at times. Thanks for pointing it out.

Well, technically you're right, but I was actually just referring to actual footage of live action actors and landscapes, not the opening sequences of several films.

[DisneyMatt89]

Personally I would consider Hunchback to be darker than Black Cauldron. Black Cauldron is just violent and scary. Hunchback deals with really mature themes.

Re: question 19. There's also a wedding for Robin Hood & Maid Marian at the end of Robin Hood.

Re: question 8. Lady & the Tramp is also about dogs.

Re: question 19. There's also a wedding for Robin Hood & Maid Marian at the end of Robin Hood.

Re: question 8. Lady & the Tramp is also about dogs.

Thank you!!! I don't know where my mind was! I've already corrected them. Hahaha!

[Angeldude98]

For question 18, technically Mickey Mouse also appears in Fantasia 2000 (besides Fun & Fancy Free) since The Sorcerer's Apprentice segment appears in both Fantasia and Fantasia 2000.

Thanks. I have corrcted that question to reflect that.

[Disney Duster]

Personally I would consider Hunchback to be darker than Black Cauldron. Black Cauldron is just violent and scary. Hunchback deals with really mature themes.

Darkness does not equate to only "adult". Or you mean it has the mature themes on top of also being violent and scary? Honestly Black Cauldron could still be the darkest.

[Jäger-Rose]

Game 1:
7. Which films in the cannon have had two direct-to-video sequels each?

Actually, Lilo & Stitch hat 3 DTV sequels: Stitch! The Move, Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch has a Glitch, Leroy & Stitch.

But thanks for the questions. Looks fun and you're learning
