LAST WEEK’S RESULTS:

Title: “Interior Shots”
Prompt: This week’s contest answer is a noted American of the 20th century.
Answer: WALT DISNEY
Correct entries: 567 overall, of which 535 were solo solves

Five one-word movie titles concealed themselves among last week’s theme entries:

17-A: [Caffeine and such] = STIMULANTS. MGWCC is brought to you weekly by caffeine, in fact.

23-A: [Complain incessantly] = MOAN AND GROAN. Ada used to [Complain incessantly] after being taken out of her evening bath, but the five post-bath minutes of dressing for bed are now blissfully quiet because we play this song for her:

.

38-A: [Switzerland’s original confederation, similar to the U.S.’s colonies] = THIRTEEN CANTONS.

62-A: [Rodgers or Hammerstein, to the other] = CO-COMPOSER.

So we’ve got MULAN, MOANA, ENCANTO, WALL-E, and COCO, all of which are Disney movies, making WALT DISNEY our contest answer. I chose to ask for the company’s eponymous founder rather for a movie studio because Pixar had a hand in 3 of these 5 and I didn’t want anyone wiping out early in the month on a semi-technicality like that.

Matt Let me set the stage I am almost 75 My kids are 48 and 52 My grandkids are 14 and 18 I know nothing about kid’s movies. I had to be told to look for movies and had to google each one of them by trial and error. And I did not know that all five were Walt Disney movies So this is definitely not a solo solve.

Hi Matt, If you’d like to see Walt Disney, the man, I recommend checking out his episode of What’s My Line? That show has a really remarkable roster of celebrity guests from the mid-20th century.
