Over at AMC Movie News they are doing a fun project in honor of March Madness which is a college basketball bracket tournament but in this case it is Animation Madness!  They have selected 32 animated films and you have the chance to vote on different pairings at their website

Here John Campea and the team debate the value of different movies and what their picks would be.  I especially liked when all the girls started singing Little Mermaid (I would have done the same).  Some of the pairings are unfortunate as films would go a little farther if not initially up against such strong competition.  But here’s what they have to say.

I watched Akira tonight so I have seen all of the films in the bracket and they are all worthwhile although I would have made a few changes but there isn’t a bad film in the bracket IMO.  So I have filled out my bracket with their 32 and I also created a bracket with my own 32 films.  The interesting is that despite being very different I ended up with the same final 4, 2 and winner on both!  I guess my favorite animated movies are Up, Little Mermaid, Spirited Away and Fantasia however you shake it.

AMC Bracket-

My Best 32 Bracket

It would be fun if a bunch of my fellow bloggers put up their own brackets.  You might be surprised with how things work out.  Brackets are different than making a list because you are thinking about 2 movies at a time instead of an overall top 10.  Anyway, it’s all in fun so go and vote for your favorites and share your brackets.

Happy Bracketing!
