HOW DOES a Disney fan debate go viral? Well, in recent days, it took one case of perfect timing and two levels of inexplicable fan behavior to strike just the right spark.
Last week, the Twitter user @yeeitsanthonny tweeted his own blank Disney Animation vs. Pixar March Madness-style bracket before conducting polls. And then, last Saturday, the user @smjxmj tweeted out a filled-out version of that bracket, all leading to tens of thousands of bracket retweets and likes — and a lot of heated Internet passion.
Now, we speak from experience here. In 2015, The Washington Post’s Comic Riffs conducted its own interactive Pixar bracket, as voted on each round by readers. (Spoiler: “Toy Story” beat “Finding Nemo” in the final round.)
And many of these kinds of brackets, including ours, offer some type of tournament-style seeding, and @yeeanthonny’s did not. That’s forgivable — though if the seedings were intended to be implied, then the bracket can be seen as even more bizarre.

Here's how mine looks:
{Spoiler}
There were some insane battles in the first round for me. Mulan and Zootopia went to war and put on a ****+ classic, but the bunny squeaked it out. Moana and Frozen was especially brutal, and WALL-E vs. The Incredibles was closer than I initially imagined it'd be. The Lion King was almost like Goldberg as it plowed its way through my bracket. Both Cars films went down hard early, however, and Good Dinosaur wasn't able to muster up much offense against Toy Story 3.
Big Hero 6 and Frozen might have put on the match of the tournament. That table spot Baymax did against Elsa will be played in highlight packages for a long time. Robin Williams' Genie barely out-foxed Zoo, and Inside Out pulled off a key upset against Incredibles to work its way to the finals. The final end result was all but expected, however.
