March Madness in June - Disney Edition

So earlier this year ("earlier this year" LOL see how behind I am on blogging things?) I happened upon a Twitter thread whereupon a dude filled out a bracket of Disney/Pixar movies and it went viral. Mostly because of how wrong it is. Take a look:

You can't look at this bracket and tell me it's right. I mean, the guy picked Tangled over Lion King. TANGLED over THE Lion King. In what universe??

So anyway, to make a long story short, there was lots of spirited, funny, and highly entertaining discussion around his bracket and due to popular demand, someone ended up making a full seeded Disney/Pixar bracket so that people could fill out their own. Find it here. There's lots of internet fighting these days, and everyone's always mad about something but I dunno, being mad about what Disney movie is best I just feel like is a good thing to be mad about you know? People are passionate about Disney movies and I really appreciate that.

So, upon discovering this full seeded bracket, you can bet that instead of being productive and working hard on a Tuesday afternoon, my coworkers and I instead, devoted the entire afternoon to filling out our Disney/Pixar brackets. We carefully paced up and down our cube aisle debating aloud, "Beauty and the Beast or Mulan?" "Incredibles or Monster's Inc?" "Beauty and the Beast has the better soundtrack right?" RIP, work.

You go your entire life just loving Disney movies right, and anytime one comes up in conversation (cause I dunno about you but Disney movies come up in casual party conversation often) you're just like, "omg yes I love that one!" so to sit down and actually rank them, and pick which one you like the absolute best was a challenging exercise. It was an emotional journey. Cathartic. Heartwarming. Nostalgic. But in the end, there can only be one winner. And mine, was the The Lion King.

My final four were Aladdin, The Emperor's New Groove (most underrated Disney move everrrr), Lion King, and Toy Story. I feel good about my final four and I feel good about my top pick. Lion King is classic Disney. Timeless. I have to admit though, I had a really tough time deciding between Aladdin and Emperor's New Groove. I was OBSESSED with Emperor's New Groove. I ended up picking Aladdin over it because of the Soundtrack. Aladdin soundtrack is fire, be honest. I ran into the same problem with Beauty and Beast vs. Little Mermaid. How does one pick?! I went with Little Mermaid for two reasons: 1.) I did a gymnastics routine for my school talent show in 6th grade to "Under the Sea," and 2.) When my sister and I were kids, we used to put scrunchies around our ankles when we went swimming and pretended we were mermaids, flopping around with our make-shift mermaid tail. I dunno, the mermaid life is just really close to my heart you know?

What's your top Disney pick?! Final four?! Fill out the bracket and let's discuss!
