Flik is an unconventional, inventive ant who is desperate to make a difference to his colony's way of life.

5. The answer is c) Edna Mode!

NO CAPES EVERRRRR! Edna Mode creates all the super suits for The Incredibles, and makes sure there is never, ever a cape in sight. Edna is known for her short stature and habit of calling everyone "dahling”, she is highly accomplished at her craft and as demanding of others as she is of herself.

 

6. The answer is c) Anyone Can Cook!

Written by Auguste Gusteau, Anyone Can Cook is Remy’s most beloved, favourite book of all time! Remy stole the book from the old lady that the clan of rats used to live with, and then, when he was in the sewer, Remy "talked" to Gusteau through this book to find his inspiration.

9. The answer is b) Bully, Chipper, Snob and Neurotic!

Fifteen blue-birds land one-by-one on a power line, and soon they encounter a huge and goofy-looking bird. They mimic and tease him, but he goes on the cord anyway, trying to be friendly. The first four small birds to land on the power line are named Bully, Chipper, Snob and Neurotic!

 

10. The answer is a) The Wilderness Explorers!
Russell is the nine year old boy in Up, and a proud member of The Wilderness Explorers, whose motto is “A Wilderness Explorer is friend to all, be it plants or fish or tiny mole”.
