March Madness has busted a lot of brackets, but there's one bracket that has nothing to do with basketball that is tearing Disney fans apart.
One fan took it upon himself to fill out a Disney-Pixar bracket filled with dozens of favorites from the Disney vault and his controversial selections for the winners are frustrating die-hard Disney buffs.
It all started Saturday when @smjxmj tweeted a simple filled out Disney bracket saying, "Let's discuss."

And oh, did fans discuss.
Many couldn't understand how "Cars 3" would ever win out over Pixar's Oscar-winning "Coco."
And if you do that, there's no way in hell you're picking cars or any of the toy stories over coco

Coco losing to Cars 3 in the first round is an abomination
— Brian M.🦅 (@BrianoRhino) March 26, 2018
Ok but how is Cars 3!??? Better than COCO?!? This bracket is cancelled.

A lot of people are confused how "The Lion King," one of the highest-grossing animated movies of all time didn't make it further.
It got beaten out by "Tangled."
First Off it should've been Lion king vs Incredibles in the championship with Simba hitting Timon in the corner for the three to win !!! https://t.co/Qsln1yqe7V

How does "Finding Nemo" get knocked out in round one?
Finding Nemo knocked out in the first round......... By Inside Out no less. Throw this bracket in the dumpster.

Don't even get us started on that round one "Beauty and the Beast" elimination.
How is Night before Xmas better than Beauty and the Beast? 🤣🤔😐

Did "Princess and the Frog" even need to be on this bracket?
Honestly remove princess and the frog from this bracket. Add goofy movie and it would have won the whole thang. https://t.co/bjbYeZfYOA

The reactions to "Hercules" beating both "Aladdin" and "The Little Mermaid" are priceless.
Hercules???????????????????
— millennial george costanza (@Mikeyavellii) March 25, 2018
Um, your semi-final winners are both wrong and Hercules was awful.
— Jeff Mobley (@JeffMfromSC) March 26, 2018
I’m perplexed.. Mulan getting to the ship makes total sense but Hercules making it to the sweet along with tangled making it to the final four has me messed up. I’ve never even heard of tangled.. personally lion king is an easy lock for the final four and a tight race w/ Mulan..
— Gerry Cleary Jr. (@Cleary2T) March 26, 2018
And is "Monsters, Inc." really the best movie from Disney and Pixar ever?
You must be high on something if you think Lion King loses to tangled.
— darren j. 💫📖📸 (@DarrenJohnson31) March 25, 2018
Final four is Lion King, B&B, Up, Monsters Inc
And Lion King wins it all beating Up 91-72
Bye
In no world does Monsters Inc win
— Zach Bohan (@BacharyZohan) March 25, 2018
Many took issue with the placement of the movies on the chart.
Not to mention your seedings are all F'd up. How is Up a 1-seed? How is Incredibles facing Wall-E in the first round? Incredibles would not be a 15 seed, so it shouldn't be there.
— Levi Damien (@LeviDamien) March 25, 2018
How do you NOT seed a bracket of this paramount an intellectual exercise. How can we worry about solutions to gun violence or the coming demonetization of the fabric of western society when THIS isn't properly seeded?!? I am beside myself.
— joel cano (@chiefdnteeth) March 26, 2018
There should at least be some older, classic Disney movies on here.
No Cinderella or Peter Pan? This bracket was definitely made by someone born in the 90s
— J. (@That_Guy83) March 26, 2018
Even a Pixar employee got in on the conversation questioning the bracket selection.
Austin Madison is an animator on Pixar movies including "Brave,""Wall-E," and "Toy Story 3."
What kind of Disney/Pixar bracket has Hercules and no Pinocchio? Where are all the Disney classics pre-Mermaid? Given the *highly* suspect options, these are my picks: pic.twitter.com/P4ILaf8bDH
— ⚡️Austin Madison⚡️ (@munchanka) March 26, 2018
But @smjxmj says he didn't decide the seedings. He just "filled it out with the correct picks."
If you want to fill out your own, here's a blank one for you to get started:
And for everyone asking for a blank bracket here ya go, knock yourselves out pic.twitter.com/AVdMEDQa7r
