Both Disney and Jane Yolen took the name from the Brothers Grimm version of the story, in which the princess was named Briar Rose. Disney also drew very heavily on the 1890 ballet by Tchaikovsky in which the princess is named Aurora, which itself came from the Charles Perrault version of the story in which the Princess is unnamed, but her daughter is named Aurora (the Perrault version goes a ways beyond the Princess being woken up, to a point where the Princess's mother-in-law is a literal ogre who wants to eat her and her children.)
Anyway, Disney had it both ways, making "Aurora" the princess's name and "Briar Rose" the name she was given while in hiding with the fairies.
Good suggestion! After updating, a number of alternative spellings will be accepted! Aurora will also be accepted as an alternative for "Sleeping Beauty".
Although that is correct, many quizzes such as this include common misspellings of words and names for people who are less familiar with seeing the names written/have more trouble with spelling for various reasons
I don't want to nitpick, but for 'his mother was shot by hunters', that could also work for Todd, the fox from Fox and the Hound. It was also a Disney movie. :)
Heracles is the Greek name, Hercules is the Roman. Both are the ACTUAL spelling. But Reg is also right, Hercules is the version Disney used so correct here.
The movie was animated by Walt Disney Animation Studios, numerous spinoffs including comics, film shorts, and video games featuring the character have been released under the Disney banner, and the character has appeared and had themed rides at the Disney theme parks. He's definitely a Disney character.
A number of other people answered this response but it's fun to keep answering it. The title of the quiz is "Disney Animated Characters". Though Heracles or even Herakles is the Greek form, we are not being quizzed on those. "Hercules" is the name of the character in the film so that is what people should be typing.
Perhaps if you STOPPED reading HP you'd broaden YOUR mind and recognize satire when you see it. My entire comment was satire and sarcasm. Dude. Get MY joke.
I'm not a dude, although I admit I'm not too bright since I just accidentally deleted my previous comment. I still see no reason to keep berating Harry Potter fans. The books are written for children and I think they teach good principles to my grandchildren, such as it doesn't matter who you are, it is what you do that counts, and that good can triumph over evil even when the odds seem stacked against it. (I also read War and Peace if that makes you feel better toward me.)
Exactly, but Bambi gained a level popularity as a girls name, or at least a stage name for exotic dancers. Similar to how Paris has/had popularity as a girls name, although the mythological Paris was a prince.
Technically, but she self-identified as a buck, even had the surgeries. Testosterone shots bulked her up. Some does will get spike horns, but the T shots produced quite a rack on her.
not bad... got the average score of 20/24. kept not capiitalizing sleeping beauty and getting it wrong, i figured out though. didn't get robin hood, Arthur, roger rabbit, and mowglli. Nice quiz!
As long as everyone else is picking their nits, I'll throw in my 2 cents. Her name is Cruella de Vil, no extra "le" on the end. The thought is that she is evil like the de-vil, not that she is "of the town/city." Anyone trying to write de Ville will still be counted as correct as de Vil will pop in before the last "le," but that isn't her name.
Other way around, goofball. Spell the name, remember the song.... Obviously you're not Mickey Mouse Club generation like these people where that song was part of ingrained childhood initiation.
Please take [ridiculous, not even close suggestion] instead! I continuously click on quizzes I am not equipped to do well on, so I want you to change the answers to help me get a higher score, instead of maintaining the integrity of the quiz. Thanks.
Good quiz! Just a nit picky suggestion, that's completely unnecessary, but you could add Wart to the Sword in the Stone answer, since that is what he's known as throughout the film.
only missed goofy. i didnt grow up watching the typical shows, i.e. mickey mouse, loony tunes. I grew up with the wiggles and playschool. forgive me. I am also a Harry Potter SUPERFAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
His mother is Mrs. Jumbo, and she says his name is actually Jumbo, Jr. It's the other elephants that start calling him "Dumbo" as an insult, and that's the name that sticks.
It says VERY clearly in the description "Not all necessarily characters invented by Disney" Meaning almost none of these characters are invented by Disney
that is a different character. goofy is the one standing upright with big ears and well... rather goofy.. and yes it is not immediately apparent that it is a dog.
Do Goofy and Pluto ever interact in the cartoons? I feel like that would be weird for Goofy, seeing a fellow dog-creature running around on all fours, naked except for a collar and unable to speak the common language.
Must add that Goofy IS NOT A DOG. The character is a stereotypical and very racist depiction of a "negro" as seen by the unapollogetically racist young Disney (undoubtedly, a product of his time). He's portrayed as sloppy and lazy and he talks, as opposed to the actual dog, Pluto, who is loyal and active and doesn't talk, because he is a dog.
There's an interesting take on Goofy in this article: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/so-what-is-goofy-1358726.html which includes a quote from Art Babbit in 1934, "Think of the Goof as a composite of an everlasting optimist, a gullible Good Samaritan, a half-wit, a shiftless, good-natured colored boy and a hick". Babbitt also admitted "a vague similarity" between "the Goof's head and Pluto's". But their animation was to be "entirely different". "One is dog. The other human."
I'm 42 years old, and this is the first time I've even once seen that comparison or thought of it. Even if it IS historically accurate, can we just leave alone the loveable character of Goofy that by now is just Goofy being Goofy?
I hate Disney sometimes. Hercules was Roman! Heracles was his Greek form! It would've been fine if Pluto, Jupiter, Juno, etc were there, but they're not!
Anyway, Disney had it both ways, making "Aurora" the princess's name and "Briar Rose" the name she was given while in hiding with the fairies.
And i quote;
"Not necessarily characters created by Disney"
Also 100th comment on this quiz. That's a pretty cool milestone :P
Go Hermione. Real life version right here!!
Forgot Elsa. -.-
"Goofy is a funny animal cartoon character created in 1932 at Walt Disney Productions. Goofy is a tall, anthropomorphic dog"
