Live-Action Survivor 1.9

Post by AwallaceUNC »

Voted off so far...
Round 1.1 - Victory Through Air Power, In Search Of The Castaways, The One & Only Genuine Original Family Band, Popeye
Round 1.2 - Return To Oz, Herbie Goes Bananas, Never Cry Wolf, The Cat From Outer Space
Round 1.3 - Tron, Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo, Benji The Hunted, Blackbeard's Ghost
Round 1.4 - The Gnome Mobile, The Reluctant Dragon, Return From Witch Mountain, The Ugly Dachshund
Round 1.5 - Son Of Flubber, Pete's Dragon, The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again, The Sign Of Zorro
Round 1.6 - Davy Crockett and the River Pirates, Mary Poppins
Round 1.7 - Herbie Rides Again, Now You See Him Now You Don't
Round 1.8 - So Dear To My Heart, Treasure Island

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. 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 26 movies:

Song of the South
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier
Old Yeller
The Shaggy Dog
Darby O'Gill and the Little People
Pollyanna
Swiss Family Robinson
The Absent-Minded Professor
The Parent Trap (1961)
Babes in Toyland
The Incredible Journey
That Darn Cat! (1965)
The Happiest Millionaire
The Love Bug
The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes
Bedknobs and Broomsticks
The Strongest Man in the World
Escape to Witch Mountain
The Apple Dumpling Gang
The Shaggy D.A.
Freaky Friday
Candleshoe
One Magic Christmas
Flight of the Navigator
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids


Voting ends at midnight (EASTERN TIME) on Wednesday, August 4th.

Well one night I post too early and the next night I post too late. I need to keep up. :lol: Actually, my net connection went screwy last night, I got booted out of chat and then the boards were loading so slowly that I gave up.

Anyhoo...

We have a 3-way tie. Please vote against one of these three movies:

The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes
The Love Bug
The Happiest Millionaire


Voting for this tie-breaker ends tonight (Thursday, August 5th) at midnight (eastern time).

Sorry to bug you buy you know I am an auditor.

I believe it is a three way tie with three votes each. I think you counted Guru's original tie-breaker vote for Happiest Millionaire when he had already voted for the Computer Who Wore Tennis Shoes. I will wait for your final ruling before casting my vote.

Well then I will vote for The Computer Who Wore Tennis Shoes

You are quite right! I didn't know any tie-breaking votes had been casted. I'm not on my A-game, am I? lol. I just told a friend "goodnight" at 11:30 am. :lol:

Correcting the tie-breaking post.
