Hello trivia enthusiasts! I am sure you were enjoying the fun, zoom-based, summer season of pop culture trivia series, hosted by Mission Viejo Library. 

Our 3rd trivia, hosted on July 23, Name that Tune: Disney Edition was as exciting as it sounds. Our enthusiastic and knowledgeable trivia host covered an array of nostalgic Disney movie tunes. The trivia was designed in three rounds. Every round had 10 mind scintillating tunes. The host played every tune three times for the trivia enthusiasts. The host went through every round twice: once for the clips and once again for the answers. If the attendees didn’t know the tunes, they had an option of guessing the movie name. Our generous host then challenged his audience more with a bonus round based on Disney TV tunes. The bonus round had 4 questions and had the same rules as the regular rounds.

Here are some of nostalgic tunes/ movies he covered:

• “When will my life begin”: TANGLED
• “Almost there”: PRINCESS AND THE FROG
• “Un Poco Loco”: COCO
• “Kiss the girl”: LITTLE MERMAID
• “You’re Welcome”: MOANA
• “You can Fly”: PETER PAN
• “Everyone wants to be a cat”: THE ARISTOCATS
• “Friend like me”: ALADDIN
• “Topsy Turvy”: THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME
• “Theme song”: PHINEAS AND FERB

I would totally recommend participating in fun family friendly events like these!
