From Quiz Evan Almighty

Answer: Sheep

In the story of Noah's Ark, two of each animal in the world, one male and one female, come onto the ark and survive the massive flood. This is the reason that pairs of animals begin to follow Evan wherever he goes, including two sheep that suddenly appear in the back of Evan's new car, just like God did. Steve Carell (Evan) said in a behind the scenes clip that his favorite animal that he worked with in 'Evan Almighty' was the camel because of its smell.

From Quiz Evan Almighty

Answer: Steve Carell

Carell played Evan Baxter, a congressman, whom God called upon to build an ark because a flood was on the horizon. Baxter felt as though this was crazy and didn't give it much thought. Suddenly, animals appeared wherever he went and his hair grew out of control. God sent many materials to Baxter's house and inevitably Baxter started building an ark.

From Quiz Evan Almighty

Answer: To change the world

The reason God chooses Evan to be New York's Noah is because Evan, like himself wants to change the world. He tells Evan so by saying "You want to change the world son, so do I." Evan thinks that he is going to change the world by doing what God says, but in the middle of the movie everyone thinks he is an idiot and his wife and kids leave him. At the end everything works out in Evan's favour.

From Quiz Evan Almighty

Answer: Morgan Freeman

It took God a while to convince Baxter to build the ark. But, his constant presence and gifts of building materials were finally what got him convinced. Baxter felt he had no choice but to build an ark for a flood that was to happen on September 22.

From Quiz Evan Almighty

Answer: Rita

Rita is Evan's personal assistant and receptionist. She spends most of the movie trying to get Evan to go back to what he was like instead of being New Yorks Noah. Even though in the movie you see all the animals together, they had to be filmed separately because otherwise they would have all attacked each other. For instance the scene with all the animals in the meeting with Congressman Long, most of these animals were animals that would have attacked each other. They had to film each animal separately and then CGI (Computer Generated Images) them all together to make the final piece.

From Quiz Evan Almighty

Answer: White

Because God is turning Evan into 'New York's Noah', he needs to have a beard just like Noah did. At the start of the movie Evan has no beard at all. Then partway through the movie it starts growing back as soon as Evan shaves. No matter what Evan does the beard keeps growing longer and longer. By the end of the movie his beard is lower than his shoulders and is pure white in colour.

From Quiz Evan Almighty

Answer: Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)

This song is played at the end of the movie with the credits. In the background there are clips of the cast and crew dancing along to the music and in some clips, they are even singing along to it. Just before this clip comes on God says: "I now issue a new commandment: Thou shalt do the dance." Throughout the movie, whenever something good happens to Evan he does a wacky dance. This is why this part was put in.

From Quiz Evan Almighty

Answer: John Goodman

Congressman Long was very sneaky. Long was the reason that the flood was going to happen. He helped build and oversee the construction of a dam on a nearby lake that did not meet quality standards. God knew that dam was going to break and that was when he recruited Baxter to help with the building of an ark.

Answer: God appears to Joan
