These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-07-16,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 4 days.
All questions were written by members of What She Said and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2018-07-16 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 8, Round 7 - Leisure - Board-Game Cities
Many board game designers choose to theme their game designs
around the history or development of existing cities (or other
places with a small area). We've given you a handout
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/8-7/games.pdf
showing the box covers of various games which are named in this way.
In each case we'll tell you the place name that we've obscured on
the handout; you tell us which number game it is.
1. Timbuktu.
2. Bombay.
3. Bruges.
4. London.
5. Carson City.
6. Macao.
7. Vanuatu.
8. Toledo ["Toh-LAY-doh"].
9. Istanbul.
10. Madeira.
And if you like, please decode the rot13 and identify the 8 decoys
for fun, but for no points.
11. Pnepnffbaar.
12. Mnamvone.
13. Fgenfobhet.
14. Qrnqjbbq.
15. Znegvavdhr.
16. Fna Whna.
17. Ongnivn.
18. Onepryban.
* Game 8, Round 8 - Entertainment - Non-Disney Animation
It seems like almost every season there's a category about Disney's
animated movies, so here's one about animated films *not* made by
Disney or Pixar. In each case, name the movie.
1. Released in 1973, this adaptation of E.B. White's book of the
same name was so popular that when it was rereleased on video
in 1993, it was one of that year's best-sellers.
2. This 1982 release, about a unicorn transformed into a young
woman and her quest, featured vocal performances from Mia Farrow,
Alan Arkin, and Jeff Bridges.
3. Also made in 1982: the first theatrical release directed by
animation legend (and Disney refugee) Don Bluth, adapted from
a 1971 children's book by Robert C. O'Brien about intelligent
rats.
4. Bluth's next feature film was in 1986: a story about an unusual
immigrant. Songs in the film included "Give Me Your Tired,
Your Poor" and "Somewhere Out There."
5. 20th Century Fox hired Bluth in the 1990s to run their animation
unit; his first film with them was extremely successful, and
featured the songs "A Rumor in St. Petersburg" and "Once upon
a December."
6. This Biblical epic was the first hand-drawn animated film to
be released by Dreamworks Animation; it included the songs
"Deliver Us", "Through Heaven's Eyes", and "When You Believe."
7. This 1999 film about a boy and his robot was a box-office
failure but has since become regarded as one of the classics
of modern animation.
8. This 2001 Hayao Miyazaki film is the only hand-drawn film
to win Best Animated Feature at the Oscars, and is still the
highest-grossing movie in Japanese history.
9. This French-Canadian co-production, a surreal comedy about
cycling, music-hall theater, and the Mob, won the Genie for
Best Picture of 2004, although it was released in 2003 in France.
10. This 2007 film, an adaptation of Marjane Satrapi's graphic-novel
memoir by the same title, won the Jury Prize at Cannes.
