Welcome to our page with quiz questions about cartoon awards and cartoon accomplishments. Animation has come a long way. Think back to 1919 when Otto Mesmer’s ‘Felix the Cat’ became the first animated film star, or 1922 when ‘Steamboat Willy’ gave Mickey Mouse his movie debut. Then fast-forward to 1988 when ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’ became the first major movie to have cartoon characters and live-action share the screen together. (Roger gets in a mention in our ten multiple choice quiz questions below). Now consider the photo-realistic high-res CGI (computer-generated imagery) that we now expect from every modern animation and movie – you know it well – it’s that mind-bending eye-popping CGI that makes you lean in to the person sitting next to you and whisper in their ear “Is that real or animated?”. A bit awkward if you went to the cinema on your own.
So it was a long time coming but eventually the Oscar people warmed to the idea of recognising animated movie masterpieces and in 2002 the category of ‘Best Animated Feature’ was awarded for the first time. Of course that’s a really big deal for the animation studio that takes it home but our free multiple choice quiz questions about cartoon awards and achievements don’t just focus on those much coveted lumps of shiny metal handed out by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. We’ve got multiple choice quiz questions about Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, the naming of asteroids, statues and other accolades.
