"Bluddle-Uddle-Um-Dum"

Great answers everyone, thanks for playing along.

1.) A dream is a wish your heart makes, specifically, when you're fast asleep. Which is how I wish I still was. Friday mornings are no place for civilized people.

2.) The human male lead in 101 Dalmatians was not, as Dave guessed, a chimney sweep, but good guess. It would be three more years before Disney glorified the humble sweep in Mary Poppins. Roger Radcliffe was a songwriter, and makes some good money as the writer of the song "Cruella de Vil" (...if she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will.)

3.) Bambi! That is correct. I had to check and re-check this quote. In my head it was always you can call me Flower... but every page I found had it sourced as he can call me Flower... . Gotta go with the internet. It has a much better memory than I do.

4.) As a lover of jazz music, I always enjoyed The Aristocrats. Scatman Crothers played a cat called Scat Cat, not the most original naming, but some good fun jazz sounds: "... everybody wants to be a cat, because a cat's the only cat, that knows where it's at..."

5.) Melissa, never put salt in your eye... and never second guess yourself! "Some Day My Prince Will Come" is from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

6.) Maleficent is the Big Bad in many if not all of the Kingdom Hearts games (I've never played them either.) If you haven't seen Sleeping Beauty recently, re watch the end, where Maleficent grows to building size, and morphs into a dragon. For my money, its still a scary scene.

7.) Dave is sort of right, in that it doesn't have a strict meaning , but come on! It's obviously an exclamation of joy! Go and make yourself a wooden sword. Then, raise it in the air, shout "Oo-De-Lally!" and chase after something, like a spouse, a cat, or a child. I guarantee your life just got a little bit better. A pox on the phony King of England! Oo-De-Lally!

8.) Full points and the bonus ball to Maren, who not only knew the specific Cocker Spaniel, but managed to quote the film as well.

9.) Piiiii Nocchio! Melissa is correct. For all you super trivia nerds, J. Worthington "Honest John" Foulfellow, is the character's name. He sings "Hi Diddle Dee Dee" with an all but mute partner, a cat called Gideon, who doesn't manage more than a hiccup. The man voicing that hiccup? Mel Blanc

10.) Alright, credit where it is due, Dave got the general idea correct. Merlin defeats Madame Mimm by turning into a germ, but lets not be pedantic. I always liked this often overlooked Disney film. None of the songs turned into classics, and the characters never really got merchandised, but it's a alright film, with a funny villain.

11.) Dumbo's mother is called Jumbo! Nice play from the left fielder, skipping the cutoff man and throwing straight for home.

12.) The Darling children fly off to Neverland, nice memory Melissa, but how Dave remembered that their mothers name is Mary is anyone's guess.

13.) AAAAA very merry Unbirthday to you (to you) a very merry unbirthday to you (to me?)
this classic scene is taking place between The Mad Hatter, the March Hare, and the much put upon Dormouse. (Remember... what the Dormouse said...) Alice shows up and they continue, until they are interrupted by the White Rabbit, whereupon Alice leaves the other three to their merrymaking.

14.) The Jungle Book. Another great one.

Thank you all for playing. Hope you enjoyed the quiz.
I've got fun plans this weekend, so if we're lucky, I'll have pictures next week.
