Live-Action SURVIVOR Round 1.2

Post by AwallaceUNC »

Voted off so far:
Round 1 - Victory Through Air Power, In Search Of The Castaways, The One And Only Genuine Original Family Band, Popeye

Even with the auditions, there are 108 remaining live-action films that survived the auditions. Therefore, we'll be dividing the game into three rounds, each of which will be further divided into sub-rounds. Round 1 will concern movies made prior to 1990 (I had to make the slight change from the site's grouping, which breaks at 1980, to even out the two groupings). Round 2 will concern movies made from 1990 to the present day. The winners of the first two rounds will go head-to-head in Round 3. Therefore, this is Round 1.1. Got it? Good. :)

Live-action films have already been defined for us by Luke's pages for them here on the site. Films made prior to 1980, all of which are covered in Round 1, can be found here (complete list). The complete list of films made between 1980 and 1990, also covered in Round 1, can be found at the bottom of this list.

It works just like the Survivor TV show. Basically, come on here once every 2 days and vote for the live-action Disney film that you want to vote off, i.e., the one that you like the least. Everyone is welcome!!

At the end of the round, I'll come on here and announce which films got voted off, and a new thread will start for the next round. This gets to be a lot of fun, especially when it gets down to the wire (as you hopefully know from the last two games).

You can talk about your reasons for your vote, but I ask that you put the full title of what you're voting for in bold letters so that it's easy for me to count them all in a hurry.

There are more titles in Round 1 of this game than there were in all of the Animated Classics Survivor. Therefore, for Round 1, we'll follow this plan: Four movies will be cast off in each of the first 5 sub-rounds (the four with the most votes to leave). After that, two films will leave in each sub-round, until we reach the top 10. In all, that should make for 52 sub-rounds in round 1. Make sense? The winner of Round 1 will square off against the winner of Round 2 for the ultimate winner, which will join the reigning champs, The Lion King and Toy Story 2.

So, Survivors ready?? Come on in and vote off ONLY ONE of these 48 movies:

The Reluctant Dragon
Song of the South
So Dear To My Heart
Treasure Island
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier
Davy Crockett and the River Pirates

That Darn Cat! (1965)
The Ugly Dachshund
The Gnome-Mobile
The Happiest Millionaire
Blackbeard's Ghost
The Love Bug
The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes
Bedknobs and Broomsticks
Now You See Him, Now You Don't
Herbie Rides Again
The Strongest Man in the World
Escape to Witch Mountain
The Apple Dumpling Gang
The Shaggy D.A.
Freaky Friday
Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo
Pete's Dragon

The Cat from Outer Space
The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again
Herbie Goes Bananas
Tron

Voting ends at midnight (EASTERN TIME) on Friday, July 16th.

Oh my. I'm weeping for Return To Oz. Of the movies listed here, it would certainly be in my top 5. :cry:

As for now, I'll vote for Herbie Goes Bananas, though I'd vote for just about anything to save RTOZ.

Aaron, you usually have such good taste.

Return to Oz was just so..so..horrible. What do you like about it?

Thanks for the compliment. I honestly had no idea most people didn't like it. I am a HUGE Oz fan, and I just always liked it growing up. The idea of further adventures in Oz, only a little darker this time, really appealed to me.

I think Return to Oz is a very good movie. My vote goes to <b>Tron</b>: visually very interesting, but overall, disappointing.

Blackbeard's ghost, I think the P&Scam made it very unenjoyable

Still half a day left. Folks, if you aren't too committed to your pick (as I suspect a lot of you probably aren't at this stage in the game), then may I suggest moving your vote to a movie that someone else already voted for? Don't vote for anything you don't want to, but it's an "I could go either way situation," it could prevent the gigantic tie we have right now :wink:. The first 5 rounds always have their kinks, lol.

Wow, Victory Through Air Power was voted off in the first round? Crazy! Anyway, my vote is Never Cry Wolf.
