Film Quiz Friday: 30 questions, ‘To Infinity & Beyond’ edition

Welcome to our weekly film quiz: we’ve got no Soul, but we’ve still got 30 film-related questions, including a round on Pixar animated features.

 

While Pixar’s 23rd feature film, Soul, was due to hit UK cinemas today before the latest lockdown measures were implemented, but as it’s the 25th anniversary of Toy Story this week (I’ll pause while our older readers gather themselves) let’s go ahead with a quiz on all things Pixar. In between the usual trivia about live-action fare, we’ve got a round dedicated to some of the studio’s previous films, including some early funny ones, some nuclear weepies, and yes, the odd sequel.

Once you’ve completed all three rounds, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. Please do get in touch in the comments and let us know how you did (scores out of 30 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. Watch out for hopping lamps…
