A Musical Disney Challenge For The Kids
Ah, the words of that happy-go-lucky song many remember, lent by the voices of Nathan Lane (Timon), Ernie Sabella (Pumbaa), Jason Weaver (Simba the Cub), and Joseph Williams (Simba, as an adult) in the popular Disney movie, The Lion King.
I am sure just hearing the title of that song, paints the picture of the three characters prancing and singing through the jungle, living the translation of the song’s title, that being, “no worries.”
There are many, if not all, of the songs that came from Disney movies that will do that, but sometimes we might be a little confused on which song came from which movie. So, let’s see how much we actually can remember of the Disney movies that provided so many wonderful sing-a-long songs, that didn’t just entertain our children, but they brought a lot of joyful feelings to adults, as well.
You guessed it. Its quiz time, but let’s put on a little different spin with this one. This time, how about sharing the questions with your children and grandchildren, challenging them, and see who comes out on top recalling which movie that the named songs were part of.
Twenty-five songs at four points each is the scoring and, as always, the answers will follow so you can self-correct. (If I were a betting man, I bet the younger kids will show superiority in this one, so adults, be prepared for a possible defeat.) Good luck, all.

The Wonderful World of Disney was a mainstay watch in our house as I was growing up. Along with the Wonderful World of Disney came the Wonderful Music of Disney films. Just writing this piece played those songs in my mind while my two typing fingers scrambled to get through the questions and answers to test your memories.
Hope this one brought back some fond nostalgia to you, your children, and your grandchildren. Have a Great Week and remember, Hakuna Matata.
