Pluto is Mickey Mouse's pet dog in the Disney universe. He is a bloodhound who first appeared in 1930 and is one of Disney's most recognizable animated characters. Odie belongs to Garfield, Scooby Doo is his own character, and Mortimer Mouse is a rival to Mickey.

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was Walt Disney's first major animated character creation in 1927, preceding Mickey Mouse (1928). Disney lost the rights to Oswald in a contract dispute, which inspired him to create Mickey Mouse. Archie, Nancy, and Herbert are not real Disney characters from that era.

Walt Disney's full birth name was Walter Elias Disney. He is famous for founding The Walt Disney Company and creating iconic characters like Mickey Mouse. His middle name 'Elias' was his father's first name.

Donald Duck is the famous Disney duck character who appears in Disneyland and Disney media worldwide. 'The Duck' is too generic, 'Ugly Duckling' is a fairy tale character, and 'Disney World' is a location, not a duck character.

Before Walt Disney settled on the name Mickey Mouse, his wife Lillian suggested the name Mortimer Mouse. Walt later changed it to Mickey because he felt it sounded catchier and more appealing.

Yogi Bear lived in Jellystone Park, a fictionalized version of Yellowstone National Park in the cartoon series. This is a play on the name 'Yellowstone'. 'Juicy Park', 'Fruit hill', and 'Picnic Point' are not associated with Yogi Bear.

Tom and Jerry was created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera at MGM, making option C (both 1 and 2) correct. The duo co-created the iconic cartoon series together.

Harry Potter gave his Triwizard Tournament winnings (1,000 Galleons) to Fred and George Weasley to fund their joke shop, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. This happened in Goblet of Fire after Harry insisted they take the money, as he didn't want it. The shop opened successfully in Diagon Alley.

Veela are magical creatures who appear as beautiful women but can transform into scary, bird-like creatures when angered. They served as mascots/cheerleaders for the Bulgarian Quidditch team in the Quidditch World Cup (Goblet of Fire), enchanting the male spectators.

In the Harry Potter series, Leprechauns are the official mascots and cheerleaders for the Irish Quidditch team.

Professor Cuthbert Calculus is the deaf, absent-minded scientist in The Adventures of Tintin comic series by Herge. He is a brilliant inventor known for his hearing trumpet and tendency to mishear words.

The hunchback in Victor Hugo's novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame is named Quasimodo. The correct spelling is 'Quasimodo,' though option B spells it as 'Quasmido' - this is clearly a typo but the intended answer is unmistakable. Esmeralda is the romantic interest in the story, Iago is from Othello, and Rumpelstiltskin is from a Grimm fairy tale.

Remo's signature catchphrase on Dance India Dance is 'That's what i call a performance!' - this became his iconic line throughout the show. The lowercase 'i' is a minor presentation issue.
