It is trickier than it seems. Whether it is from Moana or Snow White; Mulan or Frozen, everyone has at least one Disney character which holds a special place in their hearts. But there are some characters which are a little more well-known (or at least easier to recognise) than others – and we figured there’s no better time to test how well you really know […]

Disney fans are, at this point, pretty likely to be familiar with some of the can’t-help-but-get-stuck-in-your-head songs.
