This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: Sleeping Beauty (1959).

About the movie: A snubbed malevolent fairy casts a curse on a princess that only a prince can break, with the help of three good fairies.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Sleeping Beauty (1959)?
a.		The term "holy roller" doesnt have a French equivalent or logical translation, so the film was released in France with the English title "Jewish Connection."
b.		This film is presumed lost. Please check your attic.
c.		Walt Disney suggested that all three fairies should look alike, but veteran animators Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston disagreed with this idea, saying that having them be alike wouldnt be exciting. Also, the idea originally included seven fairies instead of three.
d.		Over 16 different nationalities worked on the film, which was filmed in Morocco.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Sleeping Beauty (1959)?
a.		Bernard and Miss Bianca were supposed to go to a mouse supply room in the International Rescue Aid Society Headquarters. In here, they were supposed to have bins full of items Bernard and Miss Bianca would need on their journey. Once they were packed Rescue Aid would then send them off. Ken Anderson drew conceptual art of this storage room, what was inside of it, etc. This idea never made it past this stage.
b.		Several story points for this film came from discarded ideas from Walt Disneys previous fairy tale involving another sleeping heroine: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. They include Maleficents capture of the Prince and the Princes daring escape from her castle. Disney discarded these ideas from Snow White because he believed that his artists were not able to draw a human male believably enough.
c.		20th-Century Fox paid Mary Orr $5,000 for all rights to "The Wisdom of Eve".
d.		Some of the original lyrics were changed for the film, partly enriching its content ("Hosanna", "The Temple") and partly making it more acceptable for a Christian audience. In a scene where a group of beggars overpowers Jesus, "Heal yourselves!", was changed to "Leave me alone!". In "Trial before Pilate", Jesus said "There may be a kingdom for me somewhere, if you only knew", while the original line had been "if I only knew". And in "Judas Death", the line "What you have done will be the saving of Israel" was changed to "...the saving of everyone."

b.		The Disneyland castle was named for this film, even though the park opened four years prior to the films release.
c.		Robert Picardo doesnt just reprise his character from Star Trek: Voyager, but there is a very subtle reference to the joke that made him earn "The Doctor" role: During his Voyager audition, he was asked to say, "Somebody forgot to turn off my program." He did that, then added, "Im a doctor, not a light bulb," and got the part. In this movie, he says, "Im a doctor, not a door-stop." See Voyager trivia.
d.		The picnic scene in which Francie (Grace Kelly) asks John (Cary Grant), "Do you want a leg or a breast?" as well as Johns response, "You make the choice." was an improvisation.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Sleeping Beauty (1959)?

However, after the warm water of the shower washed off the moleskin, Alfred Hitchcock still did one more take. The take was used in the finished film.

Second only to Dumbo (who didnt speak at all), this Disney title character has very few lines of actual dialogue throughout the entire film, which is actually about the three fairies who protect her, not about the Sleeping Beauty herself.
