Toonzone/Anime Superhero "Battle of the Brackets" Bonus Round thread (2024 edition)!

[Darklordavaitor]

I have a soft spot for both, but Balto is probably the better movie.

 

[Shiloh Otter]

Balto, even though the story of Balto isn't entirely accurate as it's presented.

(In reality, there were other dogs in the team that shared time being the lead dog, with a couple in particular having just as much time being the lead dog as Balto did.)

 

[Dr.Pepper]

I’ll go with Balto, but I have a soft spot for Fern Gulley. I don’t know why, but I really want to say it’s one of the first movies I ever saw.

 

[PinkieLopBun]

I'll go with Balto.

 

[RoyalRubble]

I'll throw in a vote for FernGully if it makes any difference.

 

[Light Lucario]

I adore Balto, so I'm definitely voting for it. I love the music, the visuals and the characters. It's a movie that has always really clicked with me. I think it would be my favorite non-Disney and Studio Ghibli animated movie, or at least pretty high up there. I love it that much.

FernGully was pretty good though. It had some good songs and fun characters, but it never stuck with me nearly as much as Balto has.

I'll throw in a vote for FernGully if it makes any difference.

You know what? It's the Bonus Matches, we make up the rules as we go along. FernGully wins by 1,000 points!

Continuing with our theme of "90's animated films that think they're in the Disney Renaissance - but they're not Disney films!"

EXTRA Bonus Match #10:

Once Upon a Forest!



Versus:​

 

[wonderfly]

Quest for Camelot!!




Who do you vote to win?!?​

 

[Shiloh Otter]

I've only seen Once Upon a Forest, so I go for it by default.

 

[RoyalRubble]

I vote Quest for Camelot.

 

[Dr.Pepper]

I guess Once Upon a Forest. I liked it as a kid, but I haven’t seen it since. I never saw Quest for Camelot as a kid, but when I watched it a few years ago it was one of the most dreadful animated movies I’ve seen.

 

[PinkieLopBun]

I'll go with Once Upon a Forest.

 

[Light Lucario]

I'll go with Once Upon a Forest. I remember renting quite often at Blockbuster back in the day. I don't know if it has aged well, but I remember liking it quite a bit.

I've also never seen Quest for Camelot, so Once Upon a Forest wins by default for me.

 

[wonderfly]

Eh, one last "90s animated films that were "Disney Renaissance-ish"".

EXTRA Bonus Match #11:

Thumbelina!



Versus:​

 

[wonderfly]

Anastasia!!




Who do you vote to win?!?​

 

[LinusFan303]

I'll pick Anastasia, it will always be odd that someone thought using a real historical figure and rumor they were still out there and thought yes that's my family film.

 

[Shiloh Otter]

Thumbelina.

It's not popular, but I don't think it's that bad.

 

[Dr.Pepper]

I'll pick Anastasia, it will always be odd that someone thought using a real historical figure and rumor they were still out there and thought yes that's my family film.

I think the animated Anastasia was based on an earlier live action movie. I heard a rumor that Don Bluth was given the choice of doing an adaptation of that movie or My Fair Lady.

Anyways, Thumbelina. Even though I think Anastasia is probably the stronger movie, I only saw it once. Thumbelina was the first movie I saw in theaters and seriously my mom, my grandma, and I were the only three there.

 

[PinkieLopBun]

I'll go with Anastasia.
