Thought of setting up a little trivia game so fire away yours! They can be about anything Disney related!

Here's Mine:

Disney Did You Know? #1

When the character's name Cruella de Vil is rearranged a bit and squished together it becomes the phrase "Cruel Devil", a nice way to describer her!

[msRavenswood]

What a cool idea!

So, here's mine:

Disney Did You Know? #2

"The Nightmare Before Christmas" took almost three years to finish due to the slowness of stop-motion, with the crew averaging 60-70 seconds of footage a week. Hundreds of hand-sculpted heads had to be made for Jack and 10 replaceable faces were created for Sally.

[DisneyManiac]

Really? Wow! I never knew that!

Disney did you know? #5

As you approach Phantom Manor from the exterior queue, there are two windows straight ahead of you (on the side of the house). If you look closely at the bottom left corner of the right window, you can see the phrase 'HELP ME" drawn in the dust of the window from the inside.

[DisneyManiac]

That's interesting, I will look out for that in October!

Disney Did You Know #6

Sometimes, don't know if this still happens, when night time descends onto Phantom Manor look at the three windows at the front of the house, every now and then a light can be seen wandering past. This is said to be the Bride, Melanie Ravenswood still searching for her Groom with lantern in hand.

Still haven't seen the candlelight effect in person.

About my all time favourite disney film...Robin Hood...

As the film was made during Disney's financial slump following the completion of Phase One of the Florida Project and therefore allotted a small budget, the artists reused footage from previous animated features. This is most noticeable during the song-and-dance number, "The Phony King of England"; the characters' movements strongly resemble those from The Jungle Book, The Aristocats, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Disney Did You Know? #9

People dump cremation ashes in the Haunted Mansion all of the time. Ash dumping happens so often that Disneyland had to purchase a special HEPA vacuum that can pick up ashes, but also little tiny bone fragments that are often left behind after a cremation.
