So far, we've voted off...
Round 2.1 - Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey, Flubber, Heavyweights
Round 2.2 - Homeward Bound 2: Lost In San Francisco, The Big Green, My Favorite Martian
Round 2.3 - Max Keeble's Big Move, Rocketman, The Country Bears
Round 2.4 - Mr. Magoo, The Lizzie McGuire Movie, Snow Dogs
Round 2.5 - D3: The Mighty Ducks, First Kid, Air Bud
Round 2.6 - Blank Check, The Rocketeer, 102 Dalmatians
Round 2.7 - D2: The Mighty Ducks, White Fang
Round 2.8 - Iron Will, Air Bud: Golden Receiver
Round 2.9 - Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Newsies
Round 1 - Winner: Pollyanna

We've completed the first of three rounds in Live-Action Survivor! Now, we set out to pick the movie that will square off one-on-one against Pollyanna for the ultimate championship in Round 3.

Round 1 dealt with movies made prior to 1990 (I had to make the slight change from the site's grouping, which breaks at 1980, to slightly even out the two groupings). Round 2 will concern movies made from 1990 to the present day.

Live-action films have already been defined for us by Luke's pages for them here on the site. The complete list of films made between 1990 and today can be found at the bottom here (this list also includes movies made between 1980-1990).

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 sub-round, I'll come on here and announce which films got voted off, and a new thread will start for the next sub-round. This gets to be a lot of fun, especially when it gets down to the wire!

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.

As always, I ask that you let me make the final announcement of each sub-round's winner, so as to avoid confusion/ambiguity. I occasionally come in a little late, but for the most part, I'm usually able to come in and make the announcement shortly after the round ends.

There are even more films in Round 2 than there were in Round 1 (six more, in fact)! Round 2 will be structured slightly differently. Three movies will be cast off in each of the first 6 sub-rounds (the three with the most votes to leave). After that, two films will leave in each sub-round, until we reach the top 10. Make sense?

So, Survivors ready?? Come on in and vote off ONLY ONE of these 36 movies:

The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement
Miracle
The Haunted Mansion
Freaky Friday (2003)
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Holes
The Santa Clause 2
Tuck Everlasting
The Rookie
The Princess Diaries
Remember The Titans
Disney’s The Kid
Inspector Gadget
Mighty Joe Young
I’ll Be Home For Christmas
The Parent Trap (1998)

Jungle 2 Jungle
That Darn Cat (1997)
101 Dalmatians (1996)
Muppet Treasure Island
Tom and Huck
Tall Tale
Man Of The House
Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book
The Santa Clause
Angels In The Outfield
The Three Musketeers (1993)
Cool Runnings
Hocus Pocus
The Adventures Of Huck Finn
The Mighty Ducks
The Muppet Christmas Carol
Honey, I Blew Up The Kid



Voting ends at midnight (EASTERN TIME) on Saturday, October 2nd.

Summer of the Monkeys

Brilliant strategy Guru, I am following.

Hey, Aaron how come you didnt answer my PM about offsite at Disney?

I am sad too Aaron - Rocketeer and Roger Rabbit were two of my top 5. If I had thought it out more I would rather have seen That Darn Cat go than Newsies. Wasnt a huge fan of it but at least it was original.

OK back to the real vote

Princess Diaries 2

While I am sad to see Newsies go, I do feel that Who Framed Roger Rabbit deserved to be voted off, especially considering the controversy over whether or not it is actually Disney. That being said, I choose:


Mighty Joe Young

Sorry- I have a few yet-unanswered PMs that I need to reply to. I have a very bad habit of reading a PM, clicking to read something else with the intention of replying, and then just never doing it. I'm about to head to bed, but with a reminder on this thread, I'll reply tomorrow!!

What a sad round we just had! LUKE Framed Roger Rabbit! :-P I'm even more upset by Newsies leaving, though. Two top 5 films, but oh well, the beat goes on.

Cool Runnings

For the love of everything Disney...

I'll excuse everyone for making two crucial mistakes last round.

Aaron- Cool Runnings deserves to make it to the last five rounds.

Man of the House is leaving the house.

TALL TALE
sorry about that Aaron.
I just look at what is being voted for currently by the other players,
then make a choice for one of the ones that already have a vote.
I promise to pay more attention to the list from now on.
:wink:

Attn CJ, JJJ, Leia, and DG:

Summer of the Monkeys is not a part of this game, so I can't count those votes (it doesn't hurt to browse the list :wink:). It did have a limited theatrical run, but was only under the Disney banner as a DTV, according to the site.

Voting for a movie that is not on the list - its brilliant, there has gotta be some great master plan by the Guru and I want in on it.

Maybe, we are all gonna change our votes to Pirates at the last minute. PM me Guru - I need to know the plan.

Wow! A whopping 9 movies received votes in this round, but with no ties.

The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement and Tall Tale are gone with 3 votes each.

The next round will be up in a few! Oh, and no worries to the Summer of the Monkies folks. :)
