Famous trivia from Hollywood movie : The Princess and the Frog (2009)

This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: The Princess and the Frog (2009).

About the movie: A fairy tale set in Jazz Age-era New Orleans and centered on a young girl named Tiana and her fateful kiss with a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Princess and the Frog (2009)?
a.		John Carpenter and his crew convinced St. Louis authorities to shut off the electricity for ten blocks at night.
b.		Theodore Joadson (Morgan Freemans character) is a fictional creation. In real life, it was Josiah Willard Gibbs (played by Austin Pendleton), a Yale professor of linguistics, who discovered James Covey, the Mende sailor who served as a translator for the Amistad captives. As depicted in the film, Gibbs learned to count to ten in Mende, and wandered around the docks of New York repeating the numbers, until Covey heard and recognized his own language and spoke to the professor.
c.		While the film takes place in the mid-1920s, the time when Prohibition was still enforced until 1933, alcohol is seen being served in Tianas restaurant, on the riverboat, and at the La Bouffs masquerade ball. Prohibition was widely ignored in the US generally, and particularly in New Orleans, so this isnt very surprising.
d.		Throughout the movie everyone wears the same clothing (or some variation of the same clothing). All of the clothing is also from the 1970s. Director Wes Anderson did this intentionally so that it would appear that the Tenenbaums are trapped in the era of their heyday while time moves on (the gravestone at the end reads 2001). Much of the setting, including the use of gypsy cabs and Green Line buses, are also in keeping with this theme.

Alan Menken and his new lyricist Glenn Slater were originally going to do the music for the film, but John Lasseter didnt want the public to feel that Disney was becoming repetitive, because Menken had been scoring another fairy tale film, Enchanted. Newman had also previously done a jazz-inspired score for Turners 2D animated film Cats Dont Dance.
