Monsters University does not get enough credit for being a kids movie that says, “No - you can’t do ANYTHING you want just by working hard! Sometimes you need a gift to accomplish a specific goal and sometimes you just don’t have it.”
College really isn’t for everyone, and I like that Monsters U isn’t afraid to not only show that, but remind us that Mikr and Sully were still able to live happy, productive lifes even after they learn this the hard way.
I don’t know when I’ll stop voting for Pat Carroll in this bracket, but I’m pretty sure it’s not going to be anytime soon. Absolutely perfect as Ursula and the fact that she wasn’t the first, second, third, etc choice is astounding.
Have you thought about doing brackets for foreign Disney attractions? Your parks brackets never leave the US, even though plenty of their best ideas are elsewhere
In truth, I haven't -- I've sadly not visited the non-U.S. Disney theme parks, so my own familiarity with those attractions is pretty limited. Always a slim possibility, though!

Agreed; I really like how it's message is ultimately "you can be the hero of your own story, but not the hero of every story."

Val Kilmer’s career-defining performance in Tombstone is seeded very low for my taste, but them’s the breaks.

Billy Crystal might just get out of the first round!
Well, everyone acts as though SAVING MR. BANKS is a terrible movie, etc., but what my vote presupposes is, maybe it's actually good.
...you do you, Todd. ;)
Once again, Val Kilmer is completely unappreciated and will be removed from a bracket far too early.
