I'll go with the classic Rudolph.

[Lori]

I want to be a dentist.

[Mikey]

Bumbles bounce.

[williamssl]

Abominable

[Krydor]

Nightmare is far better. I see this as one of the few chances to advance a show not designed for kids.

Isn't " > than " redundant?

[National Champion Chris Cole]

Yes it is.

[Krydor]

Hey, I'm no dentist!

[Batman]

I love that these two movies are up against each other.

And how the hell is "Nightmare" not made for kids? My kids have watched it a bazillion times. It's about Halloween and Christmas, the two greatest times of the year.

Too bad it's up against Rudolph.

[Krydor]

Thematically, it's adult. It;''s a film with layers.

[Batman]

Blegh. Rudolph has lots of layers. And it's less self-conscious about it, too.

Also, Nightmare exists because of Rudolph.

[Lucky]

That Nightmare has layers is the point. Its not designed for kids. Its designed for kids to enjoy but for adults to enjoy as well. There are elements of that play to various levels of intelligence, knowledge, and sophistication. That's the era of new cartoons which Nightmare was really one of the first of. True "Family Films." Ones that you can watch with your kid and not only do so without wanting to kill yourself but actually enjoy, in some ways for things that your kid doesn't get. It also gives a cool element to the shelf life of these cartoons because as you kid grows up he may discover new things about it that he never got. Instead of Rudolph which when you rewatch you probably are just enjoying for the nostalgia.

I have no idea which way I'm voting.

[Chris Eco]

Lucky, I think you just talked yourself into Nightmare. Besides, it doesn't deserve to go down by this much.

[creepy]

Like both. Gonna vote NBC just because of the dorky scientist evil dude. And it was longer. And it's losing. And my wife likes it more. And it's Tim Burton. And it's the only one of these that I own. And it's Halloween and Christmas. And it's Creepy.

[Batman]

You eat what you like and I'll eat what I like!

[Batman]

This . . . is MAN'S work.

[Batman]

He's a mighty humble bumble!

[Courtney]

Crap!!!!!!!!!!

I hate it when two of my faves go against one another in the first round. Nightmare was my #1 nom. I love that fucking movie and now it's gonna be gone. This is bullshit.

[Chris Eco]

See? You guys are going to make Courtney cry. All over freaking Rudolph.

[Lucky]

Courtney cries during half of these things. And yet I don't think she's been doing it for the ones I've cursed about.

[Courtney]

Except for Joker and Batman, none of these freakin' things have gone the way I wanted them too.

Maybe TV will be better.
