About This Quiz
What would Disney's classic "Aladdin" have been without a spirited monkey named Abu? Or "Pinocchio" without Jiminy Cricket to act as a conscience? And poor Ariel would have spent the first half of "The little Mermaid" talking to herself if it weren't for her animal friend Sebastian. While there's a reason that the stars of beloved Disney films go on to become household names, let's not forget that the movies wouldn't have made quite as much of an impact on pop culture without the stars' animal sidekicks. And then of course, there are the flicks in which the animals themselves take a leading role. Think "The Aristocats," "Bolt," "Chicken Little," or "The Rescuers." These movies all went on to become Disney classics, no princesses required.
Yet even as the lyrics to songs like "Be Our Guest" or "Under the Sea" roll off our lips long after our childhood days, and we can pick these cherished animated animals out of any lineup, there's still one piece of Disney trivia that might not be as easy to recall - where these animals live. Some are obvious because they are based on classic books - "Robin Hood," anyone - while others require reading the clues presented in the movie, including hints to language, design and local culture or history.
Think you can guess the locations that some of your favorite Disney animals call home? Take our quiz to find out!
