Time for Round 2 of everyone’s favorite poll! Here is Round 1. Every option that received 15% or more in its respective poll has advanced. This round will have a single poll.
I went ahead and used the split poll for the Dark Ages / Renaissance, which saved Robin Hood, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, and The Little Mermaid (!) from elimination. TLM was narrowly beaten by Aladdin in the original poll. The Classics split the vote pretty evenly with only Cinderella advancing .
Shoutout to @mm1928wd for being the sole vote for Pinocchio (I love it even though Pleasure Island is disturbing af ).
All right, time to vote!

Jeff's Official Polling Rules for Cynics and Skeptics
In case of a tournament, the following protocols will be followed:
All voters are eligible to participate regardless of their familiarity with the various options
Voters may cast or change their vote as desired until the poll is closed (generally timed)
The first option to receive over 50% in any round upon closing of the poll is deemed the winner
The percentage displayed by the forum software will be deemed the official result, regardless of the absolute number of votes cast (i.e., rounding differences may be decisive)
If no option receives over 50%, additional rounds will be held
All options receiving 15% or more will advance to the next round
If all options have received 15% or more, the option receiving the lowest % of the vote will be eliminated
In the case of a tie, the option receiving the higher % in the previous round will advance
If there is still a tie after following the above rules, the option listed first by the forum software in the results will advance
All results are final – no recounts, re-dos, challenges, or complaints will be accepted; however, discussion and debate is welcome.
I almost almost went with Beauty and the Beast. But ultimately it fell into the number two spot for me, because I appreciate so much Disney getting away from the prince and princess and romance being the center of every single movie. I love love the movies that I grew up with, but I’m so thankful for the turn that Disney has taken toward deeper story lines.
So you voted for Moana, I see? Good choice! Personally I think BatB is quite a bit better due to better construction and musical numbers, Moana is one of my favorites and it does have very good music. The overall feel of Moana is very inspiring and adventurous.
Yes! Moana. I can definitely see those points. It’s more the story that wins it for me. But BatB will always have a special place in my heart, despite the obvious flaws in the story.
Little Mermaid is not actually my favorite Disney animated film, but I strongly feel it set off the Renaissance - so that everything that followed had a chance. so LM it is.
