Scuttle March Madness

March Madness Disney Sidekick Edition – ep 101 – plus SXSW

Cage Match time. Abu the Monkey vs. Baloo the Bear. Slinky Dog vs. Bullseye. Flounder vs. Meeko. Timon vs. Pumba?! Such nerve-wrenching match-ups could happen in the 2021 edition of Old Millennials Remember Movies March Madness.

Tyler and Angela work together to choose the BEST Disney Animation sidekick from the 80s, 90s and a pool of special “legacy” characters from older animation classics.

The bracket: 32 characters across four categories: 1. Wild Animals. 2. Legends and Magic. 3. Pets, People and Early Pixar (3Ps) and 4. Legacy Characters (think Tinkerbell and Jiminy Cricket).

The Old Millennials must decide on ONE winner. Can anything stop Robin Williams as the Genie in “Aladdin,” and how do you narrow down the juggernaut supporting characters in “Beauty and the Beast,” “The Little Mermaid” and “The Lion King”? Does it matter if a character gets to sing a song? And why is everyone undervaluing Kronk from ‘The Emperor’s New Groove”? Patrick Warburton might just be a sleeper here, as is an upstart 8-seed from “101 Dalmatians.”

Also in this episode, Tyler and Angela discuss the Snyder cut of “Justice League, plus Tyler runs down his favorite movies from this year’s South by Southwest (SXSW) virtual film festival.
