There are still four #1 seeds, three #2 seeds, two #3 seeds, and three #4 seeds, so not many films have broken seed. The Cinderella story (or rather Oliver & Company story) of the second round was Bambi, a film that advanced despite only receiving 5 of the 13 votes, the worst vote total of any second round winner. Ironically, the victim of this bad luck was in fact Cinderella.
Three of the four most recently released films: Tangled, Winnie the Pooh, and Toy Story 3 are all in the Sweet 16 (Cars 2, the worst/only bad Pixar film to date is the only one of the four excluded). The three oldest Disney films: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Fantasia, and Pinocchio also remain in the field. My theory is that Disney started strong and is currently strong, but spent 70 years making bad filler material.
Thanks so much for voting and enjoy the Sweet 16! I'll continue to update the brackets every day until we have our champion.
