Bracket: https://www.bracketmaker.com/tlist.cfm?tid=476159

First matches will start Sunday night. Match topics will have the tag [BAME] in the title. (It's easier to fit all the matches in the topic titles that way.) That's all I've got for now. Hope this is a fun contest!

Oh thanks for reminding me! Everybody, if I set up a match between two of your favorites or put one of them in a really tough matchup, I can assure you that it was 100% planned that way just to spite you personally.

Just kidding, that only applies to my favorites. Any other unpleasantness in the bracket is just an unfortunate coincidence.

These were likely the biggest snubs in my opinion. Some of them are extremely surprising. (Hopefully I am not listing one that is actually in the contest that I just missed)

Cars
Frozen
Luca
How to Train Your Dragon 2
Kung Fu Panda (all)
Despicable Me
Finding Nemo
Howls Moving Castle
Shrek
Soul

I also love Rons Gone Wrong and really liked Kubo and Rayabut I believe they were all Covid movies that didnt get much theatre time so I suppose that makes sense they didnt get the noms.

alright Ill quit flooding your topic now. Haha.

Finding Nemo
Howls Moving Castle
For me it's those 2 + Snow White, Animatrix and Cat Returns. 96 is a good size for the bracket though.

This is actually the first time Finding Nemo has missed the field. Same thing with Frozen if we don't count the years prior to its release. Soul and Luca both missing out is a bit weird, but I guess new Pixar movies just don't make as big an impact anymore. I wonder if Turning Red would have gotten in so easily if it weren't the "new" one?

It's definitely a shame Finding Nemo didn't make it, still one of the most creative front-to-back animated movies of all time.

Nemo still has the most lifelike undersea world in an animated feature some 19 years later. It's also Pixar's most atmospheric work, reinforced greatly by Newman's excellent score:

Cool mix of films! There's some surprising misses but none that really bother me, and I didn't expect so many of the ones I nom'd to actually make the field! Let's go Team Takahata!

I'm most surprised by Soul not being here- I was pretty disappointed with that film but I thought the consensus was that it was one of Pixar's best in a long time.

Predictions:

Akira
Lilo and Stitch

Iron Giant
Toy Story 2

Up
Tangled

Spirited Away
Treasure Planet

Lion King
Mulan

Kikis
Totoro

Wolfwalkers
Aladdin

Little Mermaid
Beauty and the Beast



Akira
Spirited Away

Lion King
Aladdin



Lion King and Spirited Away finale. Lion King wins. Predictable and safe picks maybe, but fun nonetheless. I hope Mulan has enough gas to topple Lion King and makes a curveball in the contest. Or maybe if Moana takes down Mulan and then Lion King that would be neat too.

I wish Akira was a safe pick for top 4. In the 2019 contest it lost 10-25 to Ratatouille (which then lost to Wreck-It Ralph lmao) in round 1 and was last place in the X-Stats. Spider-Man will probably win this year.

This sounded wrong so I actually went and checked. It was only second to last in the stats. But that's not still bad, plus it is literally the only movie with an all-time 0-7 record in these contests. Expecting Akira to do much of anything is a fairly bold prediction.

Akira literally needs a bye in round 1 in order to reach round 2. I also recall Akira losing to Pokemon one time. that's how popular Akira is on this board.

Oh shit Turtles Forever made it let's go. I think I was holding off on that cause I figured it's a bit reliant on the 2003 series which I wasn't sure how many people would've actually seen it, but then I forgot to actually use my double and the rest of my nominations lol. ironically because I wanted to see if rottmnt would make it in time and then i've been too busy to check back since i nominated stuff

think i'm gonna be way more invested in this contest than i first thought let's go

Personally, I'm using Place's clips more as a way to figure out which movies are worth watching that I haven't seen. (Though the list of films I haven't seen and might actually want to watch is pretty short.) Mind Game is definitely worth watching if that clip is your kind of thing.

After looking it up: Sept. '98 for the VHS release, Oct. '98 for CN airing.

Side note: Getting blown out by a TV movie would be more humiliating than losing similarly to a direct to video movie, right? (Also, where does streaming fall in the hierarchy?)
