Round 2 of the Disney Movie Madness is over. I received quite a few more ballots for this round than Round 1. It made for a couple of interesting contests. Most movies advanced by a comfortable margin. There was also the tightest race of the entire tournament thus far. Once again I waited to vote last but my choices did not decide any of the races.
24 classic Disney films have been eliminated. It’s now down to the “Enchanted Eight”. The winner of these match ups will be awarded the title “Bracket Champion” and a spot in the “Fantasy Four”.
Here are the pairings for Round 3.
Pixar Bracket Final: Finding Nemo VS The Incredibles
I really am rather surprised that there is not a “Toy Story” film in this match up. I guess as popular as the characters from that franchise are the movies are not considered by you, the voters, among Pixar’s best. I agree with this final match up. Both of these adventure films are really about relationships; that’s what makes them wonderful films.
2nd Golden Age Bracket Final: The Lion King VS Beauty & The Beast
A better name for this contest would be “Clash of the Titians”. I mean the all time highest grossing hand-drawn animated Disney film against the first animated film ever to be nominated for the “Best Picture” Oscar. Both have great heros, supporting characters and comic relief characters. Let’s not forget the Asher/Menken soundtracks. This is going to be a very interesting vote.
Story Book Bracket Final : Snow White VS Cinderella
Of course it comes down to a pair of princesses. One is wishing for the one she loves and the other is dreaming that someday her prince will come. They are both definetly “old school” and classics but among Walt Disney’s greatest film accomplishments. Choose your favorite.
Animal Tales Final : Jungle Book VS 101 Dalmations: After surviving the closes vote of the tournament (beating Lady & The Tramp by 1 vote, I did not vote in this one) once again the animal characters from The Jungle Book go up against 101 puppies and a countless number of spots. Sometimes a movie just can’t get a break.
So there, you have the Bracket Final match ups. Pick your Bracket Champions and let them move on to the Fantasy Four. You can vote from now until 10PM CST Sunday April 1. That’s when I will announce the movies that will compete for the chance to go head-to-head for the title of tournament champion.
