The HMF Draft Vol. 1 - Disney Animated (Discussion Thread)

[Reign in Blood]

Is #25 suppose to be my #25? I'm still not getting this and I'm not clicking on the podcasts to learn because I don't have time to squeeze that in.

Yes, and it's easy. You'll pick your film at your designated spots (list form in the other thread) 25, 16, 15, 6 and 5. You can veto or override our picks while you wait to make yours. You'll get it no problem once we start rolling. But you start the list/draft with the first film at the #25 spot.

Now, I don't want to confuse too much with potential strategy until you get the hang of things. You don't have to just pick whatever is #25 on your flickchart perse, but just do that for now.

That said, you should start with Dumbo.

Sometimes on the show they would eliminate things that were to chalky. For example they eliminated Argento from the giallo draft because everyone would pick Argento movies. Not saying we do that for Disney movies just thought I would mention it

Hot damn, never thought of that looking at Argento's skeletal frail ass. Talk about a monumental big dick flex. You remove him from the genre and good god.

How'd that draft go? "Hey class, today we're gonna make a list of words with no vowels in them, okay?"... Well this game sucks.

In a way the draft was more informative because excluding Argento made the people drafting have to dig deeper. I heard some titles that were new to me. Jaws franchise was excluded from the Aquatic horror draft and I don't remember who won

Yeah, I get it, some things are just so dominant. But Argento really has giallo on intense lock. Like if you remove Cheech and Chong from stoner movies, you still got some good ones to sift through. Scorsese from gangster movies etc.

*checks present list without adjustment for Goofy Movie* Yep, it currently sits at #25

I'm also wondering if I should be counting Legend of Sleepy Hollow with Adventures of Ichabod & Mr Toad as it was theatrically presented, which would totally drop it's current placement.

That's a question for Head

[Headhunter]

Theatrical cuts of the eligible movies please.

[Headhunter]

Btw there are some different schools of thought on how to play these lists. Some do play it straight and will play their #25 at 25, their #10 at 10 etc. Without getting into it too much, I’m probably only going to pull from my top 10-15 and try to play titles where I think I can get them on without being vetoed.

[Tiggnutz]

The only real goal is to get your favorite movies higher up the board. There is no winner really. We want a solid list when its completed

[Tiggnutz]

Let's do this

[Headhunter]

D, whenever you’re ready to pick a #25 in the draft thread, we will get started and you’ll figure out the rhythm of the game quickly.

[Tiggnutz]

How do we give the ok so we can progress?

The four other players post veto or no veto in the draft thread.

[Headhunter]

Okay so if Reign doesn’t veto, Cinderella will be locked in at 25 and we will move to Tigg’s pick at 24.

[Tiggnutz]

I texted Reign let him no we are underway

[Jason]

Somebody gotta veto the Bob Newhart Disney movies and put them in the top ten imo...

I do think that one is low tbh

[Jason]

Zomb. Save us.

[Reign in Blood]

Fuck, if it was the OG no big deals, but Down Under is just outside my top 10. George C. Scott as the villain and fucking John Candy as the main comic relief, man!

[Headhunter]

I would wait a good bit of time to try to play this one again. It might be worth a veto tbh

[Jason]

Are you guys saying the sequel is better than the original?
