Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How does the family end up shipwrecked?

Answer: Pirates chase the ship into a storm and the crew abandon ship.

We see the ship in a storm as it strikes against rocks. We later learn that a pirate ship chased them into the storm and that the captain and crew abandoned ship in the middle of the storm, leaving the Robinsons and a wide array of animals behind.

2. What are the names of the captain's dogs?

Answer: Duke and Turk

They are also left behind by the abandoning crew. Francis finds them and tries to grab them, but the Great Danes begin dragging him around.

3. What is the first animal encountered by the Robinsons on the island?

Answer: Tortoise

When the family first lands on the shore, Francis and the dogs go chasing after a tortoise on the beach. Francis tries riding it. He has a fascination with catching animals on the island.

4. When the men are bringing the animals to shore, they are attacked by sharks. What does the last "shark" turn out to be in reality?

Answer: sea turtle

Ernst lassoes the sea turtle and it helps pull them to land. He is more of a thinker than a worker.

5. What frightens the baby elephant when Francis is trying to catch it?

Answer: a tiger

The tiger is watching as Francis leads the elephant into a snare. As soon as the elephant is caught, the tiger shows himself. The dogs arrive just in time to save Francis and the baby elephant.

6. What kind of animal do Fritz, Ernst and Roberta rescue from the mudpit?

Answer: Zebra

The hyenas, a cheetah, and some buzzards are waiting for the zebra to die when the three arrive. Fritz tries to use a log to pry the zebra up, while Roberta tries to get it to bite a branch so she can pull it out. Ernst lays small sticks across in front of it for it to walk on, but we never actually see just how they get it out.

7. What special day do Fritz, Ernst and Roberta get back just in time for?

Answer: Christmas

Mother is playing "O Christmas Tree" on the organ when she starts crying. She stops playing and they can hear singing coming from below.

8. In the race, each rider rides a different animal. Which rider is paired with the right animal?

Answer: the monkey on the dog

No one wins the race as the animals run everywhere except to where their riders want. The zebra takes Roberta all the way to the beach where she sees that the pirates are on their way, prematurely ending the festivities.

9. Everyone laughs at Francis' ideas of a "pirate alarm" and trapping a tiger in a pit. His ideas are used nonetheless, but do they actually work?

Answer: Yes

They catch a tiger by hanging a piece of meat over a covered pit. They re-cover the pit when the pirates attack and several of them fall into it. When the pirates begin climbing the mountain behind the family, they get entangled in the net of bells, warning the family.

10. Where were the Robinsons originally trying to get to when they are shipwrecked?

Answer: New Guinea

Roberta's grandfather helps Ernst to get into college, but Mother and Father decide to stay in their new home. Roberta and Fritz also decide to stay on the island. They expect more people to come and colonize the new island, hoping maybe even Father will be made governor.
