The Ultimate Disney Bracket: Sweet Sixteen

disneybracket_mar31

The first round of the Ultimate Disney Bracket saw almost every major seed advance to the Sweet 16, until the Classic Region flipped the script and sent us into chaos.

Bambi became the first 8-seed to beat a No. 1 in ultimate bracket history when it came back from the dead to knock off the movie you learn to appreciate in college, Fantasia.  The upsets didn’t end there, either. Lady and the Tramp powered past Pinocchio, who simply couldn’t shake off the 70-year reputation of being a pathological liar and a bit of a donkey. Peter Pan became the third underdog to pull off a victory in the Classic Region by sending Alice in Wonderland through the looking glass and out of the tournament.

Over in the Modern Region, Winnie the Pooh sent Hot Topic shoppers everywhere into shock when it knocked off No. 3 A Nightmare Before ChristmasHercules lifted itself over James and the Giant Peach, sending a resounding message that people don’t value stop-motion even a little bit.

The stage is set for a compelling Sweet 16. The Little Mermaid and Frozen kick things off in a matchup pitting a time-tested classic film of epic proportions and a movie with a really popular song.

Sixteen movies enter, but only eight can advance.

Voting begins at 9 a.m. ET Tuesday and ends at 7 a.m. ET Wednesday.
