OK, I really need to see RotJ. I found it on dailymotion, but for some reason there was only parts 4 and 5 (of 5.) I don't know if the uploader forgot the first three parts, or if those parts got reported and taken down but the last 2 didn't or what. I even went to the video store and tried to pay for it. They had B:TAS on DVD, but none of the movies, and no Batman Beyond. The clerk said I was the first person to ask for it.

I know I could bittorrent it, but that takes forever, and then you might get a version that you can't figure out how to turn the commentary track off.

So can anybody hook me up? Is it on youtube or dailymotion somewhere and I just can't find it? Or maybe somebody has it on their hard drive and would be willing to up it to megaupload?

[Lori]

Totally forgot about nightmare. That's a great movie. Jack Skellington is the bomb, yo.

[Courtney]

Creepy, that's the best copy/paste job I've ever seen.

I would feel gratified except you took off Shrek.

[creepy]

Never was a fan. Sorrys!

[Batman]

This thread has gotten me off my butt (to the video store and then back on my butt) to watch some animation I've been meaning to get around to. The Incredibles, Howl's Moving Castle, and Steamboy were all very good. But Metropolis? Holy frijole, that was a freaking masterpiece!

If you have ever liked any Japanese animation ever, go rent this now. If you're not convinced, watch this clip, and maybe you'll be convinced.


Fucking incredible.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

Just a reminder that you have a few more days to get noms in. Also, I've taken all the noms so far posted in this thread and put them into my file. Please let me know if you make any changes between now and the deadline so that I can update with the correct info. The only person I have not put into the file thus far is Lori since she had no order to her list yet.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

One final reminder. Let me know if any changes are made before Monday.

[Lori]

I really tried to reach 25, but I can't. I don't think I'm really going to like this showdown, because it's designed to be all kids movies. Princess Mononoke is one of my all time favorite movies, and just happens to be animated, but can't make the list due to its PG13 rating. Where do the animated movies go that aren't allowed here? For me, Southpark, Team America, and Cool World all deserve a shot at kicking Bambi's ass.

So here's what I got, and I stole most of them from other's lists just to fill mine up...

1. Spirited Away
2. Robin Hood
3. Who Framed Roger Rabbit
4. Shrek 2
5. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
6. Shrek
7. The Jungle Book
8. Monsters Inc.
9. The Little Mermaid
10. Toy Story
11. Charlotte's Web
12. Aladdin
13. The Lion King
14. The Incredibles
15. The Nightmare Before Christmas
16. Beauty and the Beast
17. The Sword in the Stone
18. 101 Dalmations
19. Lady and the Tramp
20. Sleeping Beauty
21. Snow White
22. Peter Pan
23. Bambi
24. Dumbo

[Batman]

If there's enough interest to warrant an adult animation showdown, I'd be willing to run it.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

Nominations are now CLOSED.

I'm not sur how to use that bracket website but I did make a bracket in excel. Let's see how that looks posted here. (ANSWER: Not good at all)

Hopefully one of the Showdown Vets can help me post the bracket and the Nomination Results very shortly.

[Batman]

So you've already added up the results and created the brackets? You've done the hard part. If you can manage that, I'm sure you can figure out bracketmaker. Just go to bracketmaker.com and fiddle around with it a little.

If it's really giving you trouble, though, you could type out the brackets and seeds and I could put it on bracketmaker for you.

Now sharing the results is a little harder. I've tried two ways. You can take a screen shot of your excel file and upload that to photobucket and post it here as an . Or you could upload the excel file to Google spreadsheet and just post a link. Be sure to set the sharing setting to "public."

[National Champion Chris Cole]

The screen shot sounds like it can be done fairly easy. I'll give that a shot first. And I'll fiddle around with bracketmaster now also. Thanks for the tips.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

Let's try this now. Here is the Bracket.



And the Nominations
