About This Quiz

For nearly 100 years, Disney has given us some of the most memorable characters both on the big screen and the small screen. Whether they were animated or live-action, these characters became our friends and were welcomed in our homes over the years. We see their faces and remember their voices, and it all brings us back to our first experience with them. Each character has their own distinguishing features, whether it's the simplicity of Mickey Mouse's ears, Goofy's separated teeth, Pinocchio's nose or the intricate design and layers of Elsa's ice dress and braided hair, these attributes help define the characters that Disney has created, and they become a part of our memories for life.

Generations have had the opportunity to grow with Disney and watch each character evolve through the years. It doesn't matter when you started watching, chances are you've seen Disney characters over the decades grow into stardom or fade into the background. Those that made it big were given sequels, television shows and shorts. Either way, you probably have an eye for the characters you love. However, do you think you can name 40 of them by memory alone? Take this quiz to find out.

Pluto
Disney Television Animation
What is Mickey's dog's name?
Neptune
Mars
Pluto
Jupiter
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

What makes Pluto such a memorable character is the fact that he doesn't speak ... as a matter of fact, he's not anthropomorphic at all (he's simply a dog). This forces fans to ask the question: how do the fates decide if an animal is an animal or a magical speaking being?

Merida

Which character has wild red hair and a stubborn personality?
Mufasa
Rapunzel
Anna
Merida
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

Merida is the kind of character that most Disney fans have been looking for over the years. She is defiant and wants to show the world that she is worthy of taking on some of the most dangerous activities.

Donald-Duck
Disney Television Animation
Can you name this duck that has a tendency to get angry?
Donald Duck
Scrooge McDuck
Magica De Spell
Gyro Gearloose
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

Donald Duck has been a Disney staple character for over 80 years, making his first appearance in 1934. While he gets a little hot-headed at times, things always seem to go wrong around him, which can be frustrating.

Do you remember this character from "Aladdin"?
Genie
Jafar
Iago
The Sultan
Correct Answer

Genie
Walt Disney Pictures / Walt Disney Feature Animation
Can you name this character voiced by Robin Williams?
Prince Charming
Genie
Sully
Beast
Correct Answer
