Animated Film Tournament

Do you care to expand? If not that's OK.

Well I spent like last twenty minutes writing my speech in my head. I don't know why I did this. What do you want to know?

Oh whatever. I'll do my best raul.

I don't think it's unique to Disney films necessarily, could have been any but this is one of her fave movies. For one thing it's just an incredibly fond memory of a great bonding experience. My mom has this weird ability where she makes you think and feel better about everything completely unintentionally. But it's also the fact that I watched it just after seeing Sicario, a realistically brutal movie. The strong contrast between dark realism and feel-good make-believe is obvious, so it got me thinking. I'm obviously someone who loves the dark stuff, horror and whatnot, but I felt so positive about life after watching Lady and the Tramp that I kind of understood the importance of that kind of feel-good storytelling in a way I hadn't before.

That's not my speech btw.

I dig it. I love those sorts of feelings and connections people can make.

that's pretty cool, swan. I've done that, watch something very dark and then follow up with a light-hearted comedy or the like

Round 1, Set 2

Only two I can vote in, only seen one in each of the other matches

Just put in a request for Atlantis from the library so I'll be prepared when that comes up.

Speaking of requests, Camo - when you post the next set in the OP, can you please also put a note of the deadline for voting in that set?

I probably won't get to watch any other films in the part 2 matches

Yeah, no problem. I'll give exact times for set 3, set 2 is over sometime on 30th January.

Sorry for asking this, i mean he/she pushed Great Mouse Detective into the lead Is Siddon an Alt though? I don't ask this i usually get annoyed when people do but their first post was in this thread and they only have 12 posts outside it with no avatar or anything. I've counted their votes so far so whatever but yah.

I thought I could vote not nominate, as for me being a sock puppet or something I did spend two hours filling out the lists part of my profile.

You can vote. Alts have been a problem lately so everyone is a little hyper-suspicious.

I'm okay with anyone voting as long as they join the Cronenberg club have seen both films in the match-ups.

There's about a day and three hours left in this set.

Siddon, it's cool i counted your votes. I do still find it weird that you joined the day this started and that your first post was in this thread but whatever must have been a coincidence.

I picked up Atlantis from the library today. I really need to get caught up on my 12th HOF watching, but I've been stressed out lately so I will probably watch this instead since I should have an easier time focusing on something animated.

It's not a coincidence, I sent you a PM that will hopefully clear up your issues.

The Nightmare Before Christmas - tat 5 vs Fritz the Cat - Swan 3

I also watched Fritz the Cat over the weekend...that was an unpleasant experience.

Around 23 hours left, thankfully we have no ties right now.
