How to approach it
Treat the six studios as six separate slates and walk each one year by year instead of recalling favourites. Cross out every title with a merchandising line, a ride or a franchise sequel still in cinemas; those are the picks everyone else makes. What remains is the useful stock: early hand-drawn features, mid-budget originals that underperformed, straight-to-video continuations, holiday material expanded to feature length, and overseas co-productions. Check each candidate against the rule that the studio produced it rather than merely distributed it, and that it ran to feature length. Then rank your shortlist by how long it takes an average player to recall the title, and play the one with the longest delay.
Get a hint
Work backwards from the scoring: a title only pays when the crowd misses it, and the ones with the widest cultural footprint were claimed in the first seconds of the round.
A little more
Read the six catalogues as release calendars rather than greatest-hits lists, lingering on the lean stretches, the contract years and the follow-ups that skipped cinemas entirely.
One step further
The richest seam is feature-length but footnote-shaped: compilation packages, continuations that arrived a decade or two late, and co-productions whose original-market title barely crossed a border.

Why these answers count
The distribution in this round is unusually generous at the top and harsh at the bottom: 138 of the 212 recorded titles reached 60 points or better, which leaves 74 in the low band, and those are precisely the films a group produces in the first few seconds. Familiarity is punished because the scoring measures how few players land on the same title, so a household name that a hundred people type is worth a fraction of an entry only a handful remembers. The single 100-point slot went to Make Mine Music, a package feature almost nobody lists first, while a dense middle tier of 67 titles sat at 85: Abominable, Strange World, The Rescuers Down Under and The Black Cauldron all landed there, together with straight-to-video continuations and modest spin-offs. Seventy answers clustered at 60, the reward for being merely unglamorous rather than genuinely obscure. The lesson is that the gap between a forgotten sequel and a forgotten anthology is worth more than the gap between a hit and a flop.
