TRIVIA TIME
Who is buried in Grant's Tomb?

Answer: NOBODY! To be entombed means your final resting place is above ground.

THE 50/50 CHANCE
Just like a regular TRIVIA TIME question, only there are just two possible answers, hence the even odds of getting it right. Ready?

TRUE OR FALSE: Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the world's first full length animated feature.

Answer: FALSE! Not to take anything away from Walt Disney's many accomplishments, but animator Charlotte "Lotte" Reiniger in Germany actually created full length silhouette animation productions BEFORE the Disney Studio movie.
Remember, the question said "the WORLD'S first full length animated feature." Snow White was the first full length animated feature in America.
