#6 Beauty and the Beast vs. #3 The Lion King

         

Mike: Oh man! This might be the match-up of the bracket!
Dan: It’s hard because I haven’t seen either movie in forever.
Dan: Emotionally, I think that The Lion King resonated more, so I’m going to go with that.
Rob: Do you think that’s because The Lion King came out after Beauty and the Beast?
Chris: I think that does play a role.
Rob: Beauty and the Beast has a chick main character…
Dan: That’s true, but they also had those funny supporting characters.
Rob: And I think Gaston is one of the most hilarious Disney bad guys.
Mike: And his minion was great too!
Chris: Critically, Beauty and the Beast was nominated for Best Picture.
Rob: Yeah, it was the only animated film to be nominated before they expanded the number of nominees.
Chris: I’m going to go with The Lion King.
Mike: I have to go with Beauty and the Beast.

Winner: The Lion King

#5 Jurassic Park vs. #4 Aladdin

        

Chris: For me it’s Aladdin.
Dan: I have to go with Aladdin as well.
Mike: Aladdin is my favorite Disney movie. I would’ve picked it over Beauty and the Beast.
Dan: That is one movie I’ve probably watched a hundred times.
Mike: But Jurassic Park is one of my favorite movies of all-time, so I’m picking that.
Rob: As a kid I watched Aladdin more, but obviously now I’d put on Jurassic Park.
Dan: Jurassic Park is so influential.
Mike: Growing up, Jurassic Park was my favorite movie. I was blown away by the epic-ness of the film.

Winner: Aladdin

#40 Rookie of the Year vs. #1 Toy Story

        

Rob: I’m surprised Rookie of the Year was still around.
Mike: Don’t be so surprised!
Dan: I still vote The Mask over Rookie of the Year.

Winner: Toy Story
