Yeah I noticed this not that long ago. Don't really care about seeding but let's see where my thoughts take me as I dig into this.

Opening Round:

Spoiler:

Lion King vs. Tarzan: Starting in the top left, we get Lion King and Tarzan. As much as like both movies and their musical scores, I give the edge to Lion King's voice acting cast. Winner: Lion King

Princess and the Frog vs. Lilo and Stitch: First Disney Princess film involving an African American lead vs the Blue mischievous Alien and his Hawaiian adoptive family. Not going to lie this made me think for a few minutes but I give the edge to Lilo. TV series gave it the needed bump. Winner: Lilo and Stitch

Tangled vs. Big Hero 6: Wow is this a toughie. I loved the movie Tangled and the TV series is really well done(seriously go give it a look). Big Hero 6 was created by the same group that made Ben 10 and Deadpool if you'd believe it. I was a bit surprised at who the antagonist was in BH6 as well and I've always liked the mix of Sci-Fi with Hero/action. Winner: Big Hero 6 in a minor upset.

Frozen vs. Moana: Seriously... this matchup in the first round?! More suited for an Elite 8 or Final Four honestly... and omg so hard to decide. I love the songs in both movies but ironically there are two reasons I'm giving the edge to Moana. 1) My nieces sing "How far I'll Go" a lot(to the point where it's driving my brother nuts) and 2) Dwayne Johnson who voices Maui grew up in my hometown. Winner: Moana

Aladdin vs. Hercules: Zero to Hero vs. You Never had a Friend like Me.... dear lord another toughie. While I like Aladdin(Robin Williams RIP), I'm giving the edge to Hercules for the simple fact I love Zero to Hero. That and James Woods as Hades... yeah lol. Winner: Hercules

Little Mermaid vs. Pocahontas: Not as nearly as hard as I thought. Little Mermaid in a landslide. Winner: Little Mermaid

Mulan vs. Zootopia: Maybe I'm exhibiting bias here but how exactly does Mulan beat one of the better Pixar movies that does a really good job in dropping you inside a Mystery while mixing in humor that even Adults can appreciate? Don't get me wrong I can cite several Mulan songs but I give the edge to Zootopia. Winner: Zootopia

Beauty and the Beast vs. Nightmare Before Christmas: As crazy as it sounds, this is a real toughie. I'm not as big on Beauty as my mother is(it's her favorite title, even the live remake was good in her eyes) but I got to give the edge to the animated Beauty for the songs. "Be our Guest" is probably the best performed Disney song in the last thirty years and I'm not joking. Winner: Beauty and the Beast

UP vs. Brave: Ugh... pitting two really good Pixar films against one another. While my roots scream for me to pick Brave(and I love the antics of the three boys), giving the edge to UP here. I like dogs and they steal the show honestly. Winner: UP

Toy Story vs Toy Story 2: The film that put Pixar on the map and it's sequel. Both were pretty good but I'll give the edge to original. Winner: Toy Story

Coco vs. Cars 2: I loved Cars 2 and the whole Spy theme but Coco doesn't get the credit it rightfully deserves. In a minor upset in some people's eyes, giving the edge to Coco. Winner: Coco

Toy Story 3 vs. The Good Dinosaur: I still shed a tear each time I watch Toy Story 3. Dinosaur movie is good but TS3 is hands down winner. I'd even argue it's better than the original if they happen to meet up. Winner: Toy Story 3

Ratatouille vs. A Bug's Life: A Bug's Life was one of Pixar's earliest films and although I do like it, Peter O'Toole as Anton Ego seals the win for Ratatouille. His critique near the end of the film to this day gets to me every time I hear it. Winner: Ratatouille

Finding Nemo vs. Inside Out: Seriously wtf is up with these Round 1 matchups?! I literally can go either way but Inside Out is honestly a rare and unique treat that may not be matched in terms of creativity. That and Jack Black as "Anger" gives it the cherry on top win. Winner: Inside Out

Monsters Inc. vs. Cars: First Cars Movie was really, really good but I find that the chemistry between John Goodman and Billy Crystal Give Monsters Inc. the win. Winner: Monsters Incorporated

The Incredibles vs. Wall-E: While I love the robotic courtship in Wall-E, I'm not too fond of the Climate Change theme of the movie. To make matters worse for Wall-E, Incredibles might be my favorite Pixar movie of all time. Like seriously I've seen it about 100 times in the 15+ years it's been out. Winner: Incredibles

Round 2 matchups:

Spoiler:

Lion King vs. Lilo and Stitch: Kind of a no brainer here. Lion King with the win. Winner: Lion King

Big Hero 6 vs. Moana: Another toughie for me but I'm going with Moana here. As a parting gift to BH6, go see the TV series. It's not half bad. Winner: Moana

Hercules vs. Little Mermaid: Ugh another toughie. As much as it pains me to do this to my Zero to Hero protagonist, going with the Jamaican Sea Crab on this one. Winner: Little Mermaid

Zootopia vs. Beauty and the Beast: Another toughie and although I love B&B's music(three of its titles easily are in my top 10), I'm giving the edge to Zootopia. I just prefer it frankly. Winner: Zootopia

UP vs. Toy Story: Another doozy of a matchup. Literally flipped a coin here and outcome came in Toy Story's favor. Winner: Toy Story on a last second shot

Coco vs. Toy Story 3: Both films tug at your soul but I'm giving the edge to Toy Story 3 here. Winner: Toy Story 3

Ratatouille vs. Inside Out: Another blockbuster matchup. Giving the edge to the Rat and Peter O'Toole. Winner: Ratatouille

Monsters Inc. vs. The Incredibles: Incredibles in a blowout. Winner: Incredibles

Quarterfinals:

Spoiler:

Lion King vs. Moana: As good as the Lion King is, I think Moana is good enough to top it in a very close but contested contest. Winner: Moana in OT

Little Mermaid vs. Zootopia: Our lovable characters from the sea run out of water when facing the Rabbit and Fox. Winner: Zootopia in an OT upset

Toy Story vs. Toy Story 3: Really good matchup here that as I predicted ends up with the third chapter claiming the win. Winner: Toy Story 3

Ratatouille vs. The Incredibles: Blockbuster matchup here. I like the cast in Ratatouille more but the music and action in Incredibles gives it the narrow edge. Winner: Incredibles in a buzzer beater

Semifinals:

Spoiler:

Moana vs. Zootopia: Really good matchup here and I honestly have no clue who truly deserves it. Going to give the edge to Moana. Winner: Moana by 1 point.

Toy Story 3 vs. The Incredibles: Toy Story got spoiled by having its sequel only a few years later and the third installment about 10 years after that and they just previewed Toy Story 4. Incredibles had to wait 15 freaking years(15 years too late but that's what the antagonist said)... Incredibles dominates this matchup. Winner: The Incredibles

Finals:

Spoiler:

Moana vs. The Incredibles: On one side I have a movie that my twin nieces adore, local representation in Dwayne Johnson and musical scores that can hang with the best that Disney/Pixar has to offer. On the other side I have an action movie that still holds its glisten and screams TV series but has yet to get one. It's sequel series was not in this contest but honestly I don't think I could pick between the two. "Honey, where's my Super Suit" takes the title. Winner: Incredibles

This is next to impossible, but I shall try...

 

[Fletchling]

I can tell you for a fact had Wall•E not been paired with Incredibles on the right side it would've been Wall•E vs TS3 in the final... but still. Fun bracket!!

 

[Trev]

Spoiler:

Deciding between The Little Mermaid and Mulan was very tough. Wish they had been on opposite sides so I could've taken The Little Mermaid to the finals, but oh well.

 

[Hyzenthlay]

Honestly, pitting some of these against each other, it's just not fair! My poor broken heart.

Never seen Tangled or Big Hero 6 I take it or you just didn't care because Moana beats both? I didn't bother filling in the bracket but did it he long hard way with descriptive text. My pick is also not surprising heh.

 

[EC]

They've apparently never seen Coco either.

 

[Fletchling]

Coco can't touch Toy Story 3
