There certainly seem to be a lot of Spider-Man fans who read
JHM. Because this site just got bombarded with entries for last week's trivia
contest, with all sort of folks competing for that Disney XD goody bag full of "Ultimate
Spider-Man" swag.

So congratulations to Mr. Good. And if Jeremiah would be so good
as to pass along his address info sometime this weekend, I'd then be happy to mail
out his prize package early next week.
Now I know that a lot of you must be disappointed that you
missed out on all that cool "Ultimate Spider-Man" swag. But that's
what happens with you only have one prize to give away. There can only be one
winner.
Which is why — for JHM's 5th Trivia Contest — I've decided
that we're going to go back to multiple prizes. Three, to be exact. Three
beautiful little "Once Upon A Time" journals which I was received
back in March when I covered the WonderCon panel for this ABC series. Which was
where that show's creators — "Lost" veterans Adam Horowitz and
Edward Kitsis — revealed that Graham (i.e. the huntsman character played by Jamie
Dornan) will be returning for the finale.

And speaking of "Once Upon A Time" 's finale …
That episode — entitled "A Land Without Magic" — airs on ABC this
Sunday night from 8 – 9 p.m. ET/PT. And it picks up right where last week's
episode, "An Apple Red as Blood," left off with (WARNING !! SPOILERS
AHEAD) Henry still in a state of deathless sleep. With Emma & Regina now being forced to
work together as they try & find a way to undo the magic of that poison
apple.
Anyway … Given that, this time around, JHM readers will be
competing for "Once Upon a Time" journals (And — more to the point
— because this ABC series often takes its inspiration from classic Walt Disney
Animation Studios productions) … Well, I thought that it might be fun to
challenge you folks with a series of time-related trivia questions which can
only be answered by watching and/or carefully listening to the dialogue used in five Disney animated features.

away in the dungeon of Maleficent's castle in "Sleeping Beauty" ?

- What does the time which Big Ben is displaying get changed
to when The-Boy-Who-Never-Grew-Up lands on the minute hand of that massive
clock in "Peter Pan" ?
- According to the Mad Hatter in "Alice In Wonderland," why is the White Rabbit late for the party? To be specific,
what's wrong with the White Rabbit's pocket watch?
- When exactly does the potion which Ursula makes for Ariel
(which turns The Little Mermaid into a human) stop working?
Emma (Jennifer Morrison) and Regina (Lana Parrilla) rush to their son's bedside.

- When will the spell in "Cinderella" (which turns a
pumpkin into a coach, mice into horses, etc.) be broken?
Now please note that — with Trivia Contest No. 5 (and with
every other contest that JHM holds from here on in) — you'll need to send your
answers along to a brand-new e-mail address: contest@jimhillmedia.com. More to
the point, all entries must be received by 12 midnight ET on Thursday, May 18th
/ Friday May 19th in order to qualify. And the winners of Trivia Contest No. 5 (who will be randomly selected from all of the
correct entries that come in over the next seven days) will be announced here
on this site next Friday morning.
So — again — congratulations to Jeremiah. And good luck to
those of you who will be entering this week's contest.

Have a great weekend, okay? And Happy Mother's Day to all of
you Moms & Stepmothers out there. Especially the not-so-Wicked kind.
And speaking of Moms … I'll be posting a belated Mother's Day story next Friday which (I'm
sure) will please a lot of you Pixar fans out there.
