Match #1:

Home on the Range!


Versus

 

[Darklordavaitor]

Meet the Robinsons!


And... Break!

 

[LinusFan303]

I'm picking Meet the Robinsons, a great early Disney CGI movie that was actually interesting with a good story.

 

[RoyalRubble]

I think I'll vote for Home on the Range.

 

[Pooky]

Even though I remember enjoying Meet the Robinsons more at the time, these days I'm more interested in Home on the Range, it has an interesting (if unfortunate) place in Disney history, and I like its unusual (at least for a Disney film) UPA-derived aesthetic, so I'll vote for that one. Should note I haven't seen either in full since the 00s though.

 

[PinkieLopBun]

I'll go with Meet the Robinsons.

 

[Dr.Pepper]

Meet the Robinsons. It’s hardly my favorite thing in the world, but it’s a masterpiece compared to Home on the Range.

 

[RainbowCupcake]

Meet the Robinsons, easily

 

[wonderfly]

Oh, no contest whatsoever: "Meet the Robinsons" is one of my favorite animated films of the 2000's.

It's one of those "Hidden Gems" that just grows on you with each passing year (this Youtube video goes over it pretty well). Just iconic, I'm hoping it at least gets into the "Top 8" in this tournament.

 

[Shiloh Otter]

Meet the Robinsons, which for me is a modern classic.

 

[StorytellerMJ5]

Meet the Robinsons is a really fun movie. So that gets my vote.

 

[Light Lucario]

I'll go with Meet the Robinsons. I thought that it was a fun movie with some really good emotional moments to make it stand out. I'm not too surprised it doesn't get as much attention compared to other CGI Disney movies, but I remember liking it.

I've never seen Home on the Range, so Meet the Robinsons wins by default. Despite its reputation, I probably should watch it one of these days.

 

[Darklordavaitor]

Both of these are somewhat important films in WDAS (Walt Disney Animation Studios, an abbreviation I'll use from here on out) history- Home on the Range was the last hand-drawn animated feature from the studio, or at least was meant to before John Lasseter's tenure as head of the studio, while Meet the Robinsons was the last feature to largely be in production before his tenure started. He was only able to offer minor contributions to the film.

I had a feeling that one particular film would win, and I was right, although it's nice to see Home on the Range receive some sort of following in recent years.

Meet the Robinsons makes it to the next round, which will begin shortly.

Match #2:

A Bug's Life!


Versus

 

[Darklordavaitor]

Bolt!


And... Break!

 

[LinusFan303]

If there's one thing to know about me, I really really really really really love Bolt. That's my choice. I think it's a fun movie with a story that doesn't go out there, neither does Bug's life, but there's a charm to Bolt, the dog, Mittens, and even Rhino. It's a funny and heart warming movie, with a twisted nature to it where they had Bolt pretty much thinking he was really doing what he was doing and the twisted world of Hollywood that's something you wouldn't expect from a Disney animated movie. Great Movie!

 

[Shiloh Otter]

A Bug's Life.

This matchup is a lot closer for me. I used to have a Bolt plushie, but A Bug's Life is the better movie.

 

[RoyalRubble]

A Bug's Life for me.

 

[Perla Magica]

My vote also goes to A Bug's Life. Underrated Pixar movie.
