Live-Action Survivor 1.10

Post by AwallaceUNC »

The last round was crazy-close, and we voted off 2 more films!
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
Round 1.9 - The Happiest Millionaire, The Love Bug

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 24 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 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 Saturday, August 7th.

I'd kind of forgotten about this 'till now, but I really dislike Old Yeller. I doubt I'll get much support on that, though, so I may end up changing.

I know I'm coming in late. Y'all have already done nine of these. And I'm coming in just under the wire for this one. But I'd like to vote off Flight of the Navigator.

Then you probably noticed the sad absence of Mary Poppins then, right? :lol:

We also played this for Animated Classics, as well as for "Other Animation." You're of course welcome to join in at any time. The game's not quite as active during the summer, so the more the merrier is especially true now. :)

To be honest, I didn't. Why would anyone vote off "Mary Poppins"???

*Sigh* There was an alliance that wanted to dump the biggest competition for their respective #1 picks as early as possible. It was a big ordeal, now termed the Poppins War by the alliance's own JJJ. :lol:

That's kinda funny. At least "Poppins" was voted off as a threat. That's a bit better than being voted off just because it's not good.

Hello all,

I am at my buddy aarons house, and i have decided to post the OFFICIAL results of this round of UD Survivor. Here it goes:

The two movies that leave are The Incredible Journey, and Candleshoe

We are both deeply saddened by the loss of these two movies and wish them success in the endevors in the future.

I hope you all keep voting to make this round even better than the first! Without your help, this game will not succeed. This game is only as strong as the members, so it is up to each and every one of you to help.

This is OUR time. We can make this world a better place, and there is NO VENUE MORE APPROPRIATE than this board.

I hope to hear from you all on the board. God Bless

That being said, I am announcing my candidacy for UD President in the November 2004 election.

RIP Mary Poppins

-The Turd
