Mouse Madness 3: Best Sherman Brothers Songs — Brackets Revealed

It is with greatest pride and deepest pleasure that we welcome you today, to our 3rd Annual Mouse Madness competition. You may remember our inaugural tournament in 2014 where we crowned The Mighty Ducks as the Best of Disney Sports. Then in 2015, we settled the argument of Disney's greatest princess by crowning that beauty known as Belle.

This year, we're doing our first music related tournament as we will let you, the Disney fans, decide on the Greatest Sherman Brothers Song of All Time. Actually, to be 100% accurate, we're only choosing the greatest Sherman Brothers Disney song. But would Chitty Chitty Bang Bang really have a chance at winning anyway?

For the uninitiated, here are a few of the Sherman Brothers accomplishments:

• Wrote more movie scores than any other songwriters in the history of film
• 9 Academy Award Nominations, 9 Grammy Nominations, 23 gold and platinum certified albums
• A Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
• Inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame
• Received a National Medal of the Arts from President George W. Bush
• Were played by B.J. Novak and Jason Schwartzman in Saving Mr. Banks

So, after many hours of deliberation and fisticuffs, the committee is ready to debut its brackets for this 16-team, single elimination tournament.
