This is All A Fairy Tale: a Quiz

I made one of those "how well do you know me?" quizzes purely for amusement. This formatting on the original quiz website is funkier than I'd like, so I'm revising this post to include it as plain-text. Answers will be revealed when you highlight them at the bottom. It really doesn't matter what score you get, but you do get extra points (added in the comments section) for spotting the jokes sprinkled throughout.

Question 1:

Question 3:
Which Disney adaptation of a fairy tale irks me the most?
