Watching the video. Tiki is absolutely right. I was doing my best to get an actual project in, but I just couldn't get the concept to go in quite the direction I wanted it to, so I wrote a restaurant an hour before it was due. Really, only to vote tiki out.

I also don't expect to win, and, frankly, I don't want to. Compared to the others, I am most certainly the least deserving of winning this game, let alone make it to finals. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about being blatantly told that I will never get a vote cast towards me, but I do understand completely.

I'm actually not the youngest :D;)

I thought I would end 6 or 7 based on my SA ranking and the other competitors.

About my time available I'm on spring break this whole challenge:D

Big Hero 6 is only Walt Disney Animation Studios third highest grossing film of all time only beaten by Lion King and Frozen

Their most recent failure has to be Winnie the Pooh it made about 60 million at the box office, but it went against Harry Potter Deathly Hallows part 2.

I feel like vipraa will be first and me third for this challenge.

Winnie the Pooh going up against Deathly Hallows part 2 is one of my big "tin foil hat" conspiracy theories that someone at Disney essentially wanted to kill 2D animation by giving it that release date. Putting Princess and the Frog up a week before Avatar was short-sighted but forgivable. Putting Pooh up against Potter is just asking for box office death.

I agree with this. Disney Animation has hit a stride as of late. I would argue it hasn't been just Frozen, it just seems like it because people are so obsessed with it.


2010 - Tangled
90% $592 M
2012 - Wreck it Ralph
86% $471 M
2013 - Frozen
89% $1.274 B
2014 - Big Hero 6
89% $645 M

(The % is its Rotten Tomatoes Score and its Box Office Earnings)

Winnie the Pooh was also only 63 mins long, not advertised well, and of course, went up against Deathly Hallows Part 2. It was doomed from the start.

I loved Winnie the Pooh particularly because it WAS only 63 minutes long. My favorite film in the Disney cannon is probably Dumbo...another movie that's a masterclass of character and storytelling told in just over an hour. Winnie the Pooh felt like a big return to form not just from the 90s golden age, but from Walt's era of simpler and more laid back animated films that don't have to tell big epic stories or have a joke every two minutes.

Completely agree.

Especially for kids who have short attention spans, they would get restless sitting though a 3-hour long Pooh movie (I would as well), so I appreciate when films can succinctly tell a narrative in a shorter amount of time.

That being said, I wouldn't have every film be so short. I would prefer films like Avengers: Age of Ultron to veer closer to the 2.5 - 3 hour range, just because it seems like there's so much material to cover. But, even so, I just realized the other day that the Empire Strikes Back is only 124 mins. I always thought that was much longer because there's so much going on, yet compared to other sci-fi/action films nowadays, 124 mins seems on the shorter side.

Sorry for the tangent:p, I guess the point was there's a window of time for everything :).

So @DisneyPrincess1993 and I were sitting in our Neuro class today and the professor was talking about Voxel-Based Lesion Symptom Mapping.

I kept on asking myself why the name Voxel sounded so familiar? Well, a simple check back here and it all makes sense

Thanks @Voxel - at least we will get that question right on the exam ;)

Haha, I'm glad I could help. While I'm not familiar with the theory in Neuro, I'm gonna go on and assume that it has something to do with using 3-d mapping of the brain to maps symptoms and conditions. ?

Haha, fun story I actually get my name Voxel from the 3D graphics work I did in my Computer Science Undergraduate. I spend 4 months in the work of vectors and points and voxels..

Wow that's awesome! Neuro and Computer Science have really become synonymous over the last few decades. So many advancements in both fields and the 3D computer mappings have done wonders for studying the brain, especially since there's so many intricate wiring and synapses that can only be detected in virtual 3D images.

It's that way with alot of fields. It's pretty fascinating stuff to be honest.

Ahhh, Gary...how the web misses you. :p

How about this one...which got ebaums sued for the first major content takedown of a video / meme ever (they were sued by Hasbro)...this was before Eric sold the site.

Antoine! Yeah...ok, well...the queen of rule #1 and rule #2 (though, not the laws, rather the rules)...

Funny story, she works for E! now, I think.
