Marathon Weekend 2027

[lhermiston]

All right, folks! The voting has been tallied and we’re ready to start head to head match ups in March Movie Madness on Sunday. A couple of notes before revealing our qualifiers in each category. First off, a big thank you to @Novatrix for fully embracing her new role as Disney Movie Villain! Secondly, remind me not to do this during registration week next year. Having to sift through 50+ pages of registration posts to find all the votes is no bueno. With that out of the way, here are your March Movie Madness qualifiers in each category:

Disney Animation

1. Lion King
2. Beauty & the Beast
3. Encanto
4. Little Mermaid

Pixar Animation

1. Up
2. Toy Story
3. Incredibles
4. Coco

Disney Live Action

1. Pirates of Caribbean: Black Pearl
2. Mary Poppins
3. Who Framed Roger Rabbit
4. Enchanted

Disney Acquired IP

1. Empire Strikes Back
2. Guardians of the Galaxy
3. Raiders of the Lost Ark
4. Rogue One

One quick note on the results. In the Disney Acquired IP category, Rogue One and Avengers: Endgame actually tied, so Rogue One was advanced based on receiving the most 1st place votes.

I look forward to kicking off the head to head voting on Sunday!

This is a solid bracket! Thanks to you and @Novatrix for your efforts this week.

Thanks for doing this!!
A lot of work between of the registration messages..

The path ahead doesnt look easy.. I somewhat refuse to knock out most of the movies in the list…

Thank you @camaker for all your hard work compiling this and setting it up, particularly considering the need to dig through all the registration madness.

To save your future sanity, maybe next year it should be an April Fools Bracket....

I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised that the lists have mixtures of expected as well as surprise picks. It's going to be tough to choose but in the end, like the Highlander, "There Can Be Only One."

Yes, thanks to both @camaker and @Novatrix for doing this! Although it’s adding mental stress and fatigue (maybe some emotional stress as well), as it will be so hard to choose!!!!!

Thank you @camaker and @Novatrix !

I was actually thinking about how tough this would be to compile when I saw some SAFD votes coming in on registration day. Maybe next year you add a rule that no votes can be placed on the Tuesday - that way you can skip the whole day.

I think the one that surprises me the most on this list is Rogue One (even though I voted for it). This is going to be absolutely brutal - it might take me right up until Sunday to decide who I'm voting for.

Life’s full of tough choices, isn't it?

In exciting news….I bought my very first pair of goodr sunglasses at a running expo today. Guess I’m officially a runner now, huh?!
