Voting on the Elite Eight matchups came to a close on Thursday afternoon and four movies earned the title of regional champions and advanced to the Final Four. Voting went about as you would have expected, three number one seeds advanced, but there was one minor upset along the way.
Now we move on to the Final Four where the regional champions will battle it out for a spot in our championship match. As the top seeded region overall, Golden Region champion The Lion King will take on Frozen, the champion from the lowest seeded Modern Region. The other matchup will include our only non-number one seed Lady and the Tramp squaring off with Pixar champion Toy Story.
Before we get to the Final Four matchups, let’s check out how we got here with a quick recap of the Elite Eight.
