Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the pirates' ship called?

Answer: Tarantula

You can see the name of this ship in the first scene twice. However, you must look quite closely to notice it.
2. Who is the youngest daughter?

Answer: Mabel

Since Mabel is the youngest, she gets different shoes. This makes her seem really special to her father. (In other words, she appears to be her father's favourite.)
3. How does Major General Stanley escape the pirates?

Answer: He describes himself as an orphan

The Major General is very well respected. We can clearly see this is the 'Modern Major General' song. The daughters are standing up straight in this scene, which shows that they are mighty proud of the father.
4. Who does Frederic fall in love with?

Answer: Mabel

When Frederic and Mabel see each other, it's love at first sight. In the movie, when her father's life is in danger, she immediately turns to Frederic for help.
5. What is the name of the Pirate King's lieutenant?

Answer: Samuel

It doesn't say his name anywhere in the movie, except in the credits. However, you can clearly see that he does have some authority over the other pirates.
6. What do the policemen like to sing?

Answer: Tarantara

In the movie, the policemen sing 'tarantara' after the Sergeant sings a line of the song. This is even made into a duet with the general's daughters.
7. Who is Ruth?

Answer: Frederic's nursery maid

In the movie, Ruth is actually in love with Frederic, and feels betrayed when he goes off with Mabel. But by the end of the movie, we can see that Ruth has accepted this. She even falls in love with someone else!
8. What mistake did Ruth make?

Answer: She bound Frederic to a pirate instead of to a pilot

Ruth made this mistake through being hard of hearing. Even though Ruth made this mistake, Frederic felt honored to be apprenticed to the pirates.
9. When was Frederic born?

Answer: 29th February

This means that on his 21st birthday, if he went by actual birthdays, he would only be five and "...and a little bit over." (Quote by the Pirate King) When Frederic finds this out, he takes the news pretty well. He actually ends up laughing and going back to the band.
10. What is the pirates' secret?

Answer: They are all noblemen

This is not revealed until the end when the pirates are being arrested. Ruth states it to get the pirates out of trouble. No one knows if it is actually true.
