Fuck this bracket and fuck all of you guys for ragging on my Disney opinions.

I wasn't picking winners on popularity or critical acclaim, I was picking them out of self-interest, FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME.

Also, I don't want to live in a world where Mulan beats Finding Nemo, and where The Incredibles get bounced in the first round. I just won't have it.

Has anyone really watched every single film in the tourney?? There are a few I haven't seen, Incredibles prob being the biggest one... I'm okay with that too. We have enough super hero movies already...

Nope. Very underrated. But wiz put it up against Aladdin which, excluding Pixar, is arguably the best Disney movie of the last 30 years.

Agree. Good movie in a tough bracket. Ill live with the pick but should have went with the head not the heart on that one.

Aladdin is my personal favorite Disney movie. My grandma's hammock was my magic carpet for the better part of a decade. It loses points because Disney changed the lyrics of the opening song to be PC and because some of Robin Williams' impressions date the movie (William F. Buckley, Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson, Rodney Dangerfield, etc.)


Finding Nemo has zero likable characters IMO.

It's a movie about overcoming your physical/mental disabilities. There's a tiny gimp fish, a mentally challenged blue fish, an helicopter parent fish whose wife was brutally murdered in front of him, a shark with an eating disorder, an angel fish with scarred face, another mentally challenged blue fish who believes she is two different fish, a french shrimp, a paranoid schizophrenic yellow fish, a psychotic murderous young girl. I mean what's not to love? Plus it's the only movie my 2 year old wants to watch right now.

If I had manually seeded the bracket, the results would have just been chalk.

@LightsCameraPod on Twitter is a pretty good follow for movie lovers, and they're doing their own Disney/Pixar bracket via Google forms.

If you seed things based on popular vote, it mostly becomes chalk in the later rounds.

They're in round 2 voting at the moment, but here's the Tweet that kicked it off:

Hercules is great, but a bit flawed.

Danny DeVito singing original songs as a satyr is my zone. I can look past the flaws.

And Megara was a stone cold fox.

And I STILL get goosebumps and an adrenaline rush when Hercules climbs out of the River of the Dead with Meg in his arms and glowing golden, like a god.

So then, despite disagreeing with one another on various picks and preferences, we can all agree that Wiz is the worst of us all?

hmm... I don't think anyone disagrees with me per say... more like anyone who has opinions other than mine are just wrong... it's a slight but important difference. I can allow the second part about wiz...

No you're far far worse. Wiz's bracket leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Your bracket made me actually question if there was a language gap.

Well I mean I'm sitting middle of the pack in the rankings, so it appears that I hold some redeeming qualities, though I have been known to not English good.

On that note, I couldn't see anyone's specific brackets. I could just see who entered. What did I miss?

Okay I did one.. geez huge blue blood match-ups in the sweet 16:

Jungle Book/Cinderella
Nemo/B&B
Pinocchio/Peter Pan
Lil Mermaid/Sleeping Beauty

Also, the bracket with Many Ad of Pooh, Frozen, Monster Inc. etc is pure garbage... it was a war of which movie I disliked the least.

My Final Four was

Little Mermaid (very special move for our family plus one of the more important Disney movies in history)
Finding Nemo which upset Beauty in the Beast in the sweet sixteen in a game that could have easily been a national
final
The Lion King Today's revel from ND confirmed he is in fact a racist... it's the only logical answer. Simba and Co blew through their bracket with ease to get here.
The Fox and the Hound TFatH walks away with their bracket after Robin Hood was held out of the tourney for simply upholding their honor code.

The Lion King won in triple overtime after Ariel fouled out on a 50/50 charging call on Rafiki.

On that note, I couldn't see anyone's specific brackets. I could just see who entered. What did I miss?

Very few of us actually put our brackets out there... not sure if I missed anyone else doing so...

Oh, then I'm being lambasted based on the few upsets and the final four that I chose to share.

Good thing I didn't post the entirety of my bracket.

Nah, don't be too hard on yourself, I'd say it has nothing really to do with your bracket per say... the way I see it is you're just very unlikable in general and everyone just took the opportunity to pile on when presented.

This actually makes me feel better than if I were being bullied for my Disney preferences.

I don't understand how this works or how you guys are viewing this, but I'm shocked Pinocchio made it to the elite 8, and surprised Beauty and the Beast did.
