On February 7, 1940, a Walt Disney animation made its debut at the Centre Theatre in New York City. This movie went on to become the first animated feature to win an Academy Award.
As a retired trivia writer, editor and quiz compiler, I wholeheartedly agree with Bertrand Russell’s quote:
“There’s much pleasure to be gained in useless knowledge.”
Trivia of all sorts has always fascinated me, and for many years, I’ve written and compiled trivia for various media, including traditional TV and radio quiz shows, newspapers and magazines, apps, and other digital platforms.
