	It is technically just Smokey Bear. Also, accept just "Hutt" instead of "Hut," it is insulting.

	Why does it take me so long to realize they're in alphabetical order?

	@PennSt4Life: Thanks for your feedback. Yes, technically it's just "Smokey Bear", but the character was also very well known as "Smokey the Bear", as in this forest-fire-prevention PSA which was specifically about the character: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goEozOAQ6yI Given the light-hearted nature of this quiz, I went with the conscious decision to accept "Hut" as I felt that a fair number of general movie-goers might forget the second "T". I realize that can detract from the satisfaction of "knowing" it has two of them and typing them in, and I apologize to you for that.

	Surprising that something from LOTR is currently the least guessed.

	What's the cause of this commotion, motion, motion, Our country through? It is the ball a-rolling on For Winnie-the-Pooh, and Tigger too. And with them we'll beat little Heffalump, Heffalump is a used up chump. And with them we'll beat little Heffalump.

	Poor old Bill. He wasn't given nearly enough screen time in the movie.

	You're missing out if you've never seen Clifford the big red dog!!!! ;)

	Damn alphabetical order... I was thinking "Bill the Cat" from Doonesbury, but since it's in order that won't work. Then see's Bill show up for the Pony.

	Bill! Seriously, you get 5 globes from me just for Bill. I always shipped him with Minnie the pony in Wuthering Heights (the only character I liked in that book).

	Excellent mix of old and new characters

	Thanks, and many thanks to Sporcle for publishing the quiz.

	I was okay with Smokey the Bear. It just sounds right. The clues were enough to figure most of them out. Maybe I never noticed but did they really say "Horton the Elephant" ?

	needapausebutton:	Jan 22nd, 2013 at 23:49 GMT		2 points
	AlysonV: One of my primary criteria for choosing a character was "has the character become 'known' that way", and I found enough instances during research of the character being referred to as "Horton the Elephant". There were dozens of characters that I had also heard mentioned as [character-the-animal] which I did not put in the game because when I looked them up I'd not find enough references to feel justified.

	I don't really get why Casper and Oscar are here. they're not really animals. But still good quiz

	@ketchupcat: Thanks, and to clarify, two things in response: The original title of the quiz was shortened (as is customary) for publication, and the instructions at the top of the page state: "Can you name the missing words from character animals/creatures known as '____ the ____'?" I specifically have had the word "creatures" in the instructions from the beginning in order to account for Casper and Oscar!

	I think Star-Kissed Tuna missed an opportunity when they didn't name their mascot "Albert Core the Fancy Tuna".
