Animated Film Tournament

[The_Return]

Ive been waiting partientily, and now with only 1 tournament currently running I though this would be the perfect time to unveil...


THE ANIMATED FILM TOURNAMENT!



As you may recall, I had a contest at the end of my last tournament. Whoever correctly predicted the winner got a prize. What was the ptize you ask? Why to choose the topic of my next tournament! As Austin was the first person to guess The Thing, he chose this to be the next tournament.

The rules work like any other tournament, but I'll restate them anyway:


Two Films will be posted at a time
Either the fist film to 5 votes OR whichever has the most with 5 or more will move on to the next round
You CANNOT change your vote!
You CANNOT you twice in the same match
This round will consist of 31 matches + a Wild Card match at the end



Ready? First match will be posted shortly!

This is the FIRST MATCH man. Of course Aladdin is in it. So are 60-something other films, many of which are very, very good. Stick around, it gets better than this!


Anyway, it's 2-0 for Watership Down

[The STE]

For all you know whatever you want to predict might not even be in the tourney. Thats why I want to wait until the end of Round 1 before I accept predictions.

I'm one of very few people that seem to, but I actually liked

Thats what the Wild Card match is for;). Shaping up to be a pretty good one too, some great films have been knocked out.

I cannot believe that Grave of the Fireflies lost that match. How sad.

Anyway, I vote for Memories.
