Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 0 (-1) Pinocchio 11 (+1)
-----------------
Well, guess that's that, then.
Prolly shouldn't come as a surprise to me "Pinocchio" would be the clear winner. "Snow White" *is* a good movie, with a well-plotted story; a leading lady whom I find endearing, the dwarfs themselves who prove to be wonderful comic relief but also add their own $0.02 to the story, a spine-chilling villain in the form of the cold, but elegant-looking Evil Queen; some delightfully memorable tunes such as "Heigh-Ho," "The Silly Song" and "Someday My Prince Will Come" - there's just so much to like about "Snow White."
But, being Disney's first animated movie - not to mention the first-ever full-length animated movie attempted - there are bound to be some things that people will nitpick at, like the animation hasn't quite found it's footing yet, the Prince getting the short end of the stick, pacing problems with the story or how it flows... but it really can't be helped, y'know?
"Pinocchio," on the other hand - it just seemed like everything was firing on all fours. You've got a solid story, some fantastic animation as the Nine Old Men start coming into their own, some of the most colorful and richest background paintings ever conceived for a Disney film; the title character is utterly endearing and his companion Jiminy Cricket is probably one of the best sidekicks featured in a Disney movie (courtesy of Cliff Edward's sprightly performance), a bagful of great tunes like "I've Got No Strings," "Hi-diddle-dee" and the haunting melancholy that is the Disney Company's anthem "When You Wish Upon a Star." It's easy to see why some movie critics at the time of its release thought it an improvement over "Snow White." And over 75 years later, I feel it's indeed still one of the best. The ending always leaves me with misty eyes when 'Pinoke' finally is rewarded with the one thing he worked toward after everything that had happened to him over the course of the movie. If that doesn't get your emotions, then I don't know what will!

Well, now that this round's outta the way, what's next?

Well put, Zorgoth . Pinocchio is a more than deserving winner.
Moving on to the Marvel films from phase 2. To make this round more brisk, we'll adapt the recently introduced idea of two plus and two minus votes from Episode Game (until we get down to the final three). Iron Man 3 ... 4 (-1) Thor: The Dark World ... 5 Captain America: The Winter Soldier ...4 (-1) Guardians of the Galaxy ... 6 (+1) Avengers: Age of Ultron ... 6 (+1) Ant-Man ... 5
