As some of you may or may not remember, to solve a mixup at the end of the first round I said that there would be a 3-way match part way through the round. Well, here it is!

I loved Ninja Scroll! But my vote has to go for Aladdin.

[The_Return]

3-1-0, Ninja Scroll leading with Aladdin 2 votes behind. It seems that the Cat likely wont be returning next round with no votes thusfar.

[persuasian70]

Ninja Scroll

[bwind22]

Hmm. This is a tough match because Aladdin is easily the coolest Disney movie as far as I'm concerned, but Ninja Scroll... Well, Ninja Scroll is probably the best Anime aside from maybe Akira....


Hmmm....


I'll have to go with Ninja Scroll...

Fuck. It's too late, but I'll give my vote to Batman. For the record, BTW, everyone who voted against Watership Down sucks. So let it go donw in HDC history that I would have voted WSD, even though it meant I agreed with Amalthea.

You can make a superior movie but if nobody likes it then it's nothing but a technical achievement.

This one's tough because I liked both but I think I'll have to give the nod to Batman.

[Amalthea]

If Ice Age are gay, am I gay with Diego! :D

[AUSTIN316426808]

Well, I'd rather make a superior technical achievement instead of some piece of shit ''blockbuster''. But that discussion is irrelevant in this situation because Mask of the Phantasm is a well liked movie, not as much as Ice Age or other ''blockbusters'', but well liked nevertheless.

[The_Return]

7-3. Ice Age wins a heated match (yuk yuk yuk)
