Just an example cast. Today’s six stay under wraps until you hit Play.

Every board has a twist

Toy Story is obviously Animated. Right? Plot twist: Nemo needs Animated, so Toy Story takes the Tom Hanks part.

Six movies, six parts, three checks. Plenty of movies fit more than one part. Only one lineup survives the twist.
