| 0) Oswald was a lucky rabbit. 1) There were three Disney Oswald films following The Fox Chase, and Walter Lantz continued the character after Disney lost the rights to him. 2) Yes, it was Charles Mintz, and Universal had the rights and distributed them 3) The advertising slogan for this (fourth) Herbie film was: 'Yes, We Have A ________' Banana is incorrect. 4) How many payphones are by the restrooms at Wolfgang Puck Express? |

| Trivia Nut & Supplier of Games | 3) 'Yes, We Have A Bananza.' 4) There are two Wolfgang Puck Expresses! Not that it makes any difference, since this is just a guess anyway! 3 payphones.
