Anyone else notice how the opening started out in fullscreen while taking place in the 80's and then switched to wide once on the grid? It was a cool artistic choice that worked very well =D

It's almost a regret (but a necessary choice) that the real world was animated

and we can at least keep Bridges's image if not his voice

[sportzhead]

That was BOSS! New favorite animated show. Looks so good in HD.

[Rikyfree]

With this getting made, what are the chances of a third movie sooner rather than later?

Was Legacy good?

[Grisby]

Just watched the first episode. Really fun. I don't think I get the Disney XD channel though so I'll probably have to go through itunes or something.

The writing was pretty poor and the voice acting wasn't super great but man what a looker. It was also framed pretty well and the fight scenes were very entertaining.

edit-Thanks for the youtube link btw.

[Andrex]

Was Legacy good?

Some people would say no, but those people are wrong.

[Skel1ingt0n]

Umm... wow. That was WAAAY better than it had any right to be!

Can't wait for more episodes!

[Slappy967]

Super excited for this especially since I just bought the collectors edition PS3 Tron game and rewatched Legacy for the 16th time or so. Needless to say the five minutes I watched of this has me excited to finish it on my big ass HD tv later this week. Really curious to see if the ISO's will play a decent part in this series as I loved Qorra and think Olivia Wilde deserves more credit for how well she played the role. Count me in the Legacy was awesome camp!

[KevinCow]

It at least shows that they haven't abandoned the property.

Hopefully they recognize that Tron has some appeal, and Legacy would've been far more successful if it was just a better movie. I mean it wasn't bad, I enjoyed it enough to see it a few times, but better story, characters, and action on top of the fantastic visuals and Daft Punk soundtrack would've been one of my favorite movies ever.

[Shard]

I find it sad that this pilot did a better job of establishing Clu and his flunkies better as villains then all of Legacy.

[Secret_Riddle]

Some people would say no, but those people are wrong.

..and you are now one of my favourite posters.


I'm from Canada, so I'm still trying to find an ideal way to watch this online while actually supporting the show (since I'm fairly certain they're testing the waters for another sequel).

[Fezan]

Really loved the show.it had everything missing form tron movie.Great cast good action and a story and motive :O

[duckroll]

Finally found the time to watch the first episode. Fantastic stuff. The designs by Robert Valley rock. Each character looks really distinct, and they have great iconic features. What really surprised me was how lavish the art direction and general direction of the show is. Really detailed backgrounds, dynamic camera work, and really good storyboarding for the action sequences in particular. The animation is fluid, and really brings the elements together well. The first episode is paced really well with lots of action and it really shows off what they're trying to do with the show. I'm kinda surprised Disney is really investing in a show like this, but it's a good thing that they are. :)

[Tizoc]

Good first ep., but...I'm 50-50 about the character designs, or rather the faces...why are they so long lol.
Now I wanna rewatch Tron X3

[Interactive Fiction]

Amazing first episode. I hope later episodes can keep up this level of quality.
Good job, Disney. You did not let me down with this.

[wildfire]

Just saw the first episode and it was excellent. Far better than what I was expecting.

The writing was very good except for one very poor melodramatic moment when Beck said he didn't know why he did it when 7 minutes ago he told when he realized Brody wasn't coming back he had to act.

Someone said he was just getting cold feet over Tron the Program the Myth the Legend was bestowing an honor on him he felt he didn't deserve. While that is a reasonable justification, backpedaling in that manner broke my suspension of disbelief. He could've made any other excuse except for the one that contradicts the most emotionally hurtful memory he has.


The animation was sick. The comparisons to Aeon Flux are understandable; but unfair, because Aeon was pretty ugly.


I liked the music from Tron Legacy a lot and to see one of the instrumental composers working on this shows music just increases the coolness factor.

Honestly if the next few episodes come close the quality of this opener I'll be confused over why the target audience is 6-13 year olds. They would be putting too much effort into the writing and direction and I doubt so many well known actors or the animation technique they are using are cheap.

[Jtwo]

I'm a pretty big TRON geek so cool?

[wildfire]

Just go watch it. It is cool.

They're probably gonna announce something about Tron 3 after the show ends

[SpeedySwaf]

I think there were some lip-synching issues, and like wildfire I was irked when Beck suddenly lost all drive in his quest when he found out that Tron was alive.

Still, the series definitely has great potential, and I would love to see what they can do with a world that's essentially a program.

Are you sure the target audience is 6-13 year olds? Because that doesn't seem like the case. Disney started this as a new experimental project of making high quality television animation. The entire run of the show is only 10 episodes, and it's created as a complete miniseries like premium cable shows. That doesn't suggest to me that they're only targeting kids.

[AgentOtaku]

Just watched this


HOLY SHIT!


No seriously, I was amazed about how good this really is. Dialog and VA itself is solid and writing itself is, well, not stupid and actually clever yet minimal. Then there's animation/art direction.... it's just so damn well done and cohesive. They really nailed the action staging and style to mimic Joseph Kosinski's work. This looks glorious on iTunes HD and kudos to them for making it free to download.

Also, the music really shows just how important Daft Punk's touch was to this franchise. It really does make the both the film and now the show

10/10

Can't wait to the see the next one and my 8 year old thought it was awesome too. Took him to see Legacy with me in the theater when it came out.

[RPGCrazied]

This is going to be a full series and not a mini series? That was awesome, I missed the first 10 minutes though. Though I don't know how many episodes of that quality they can pump out. The only thing that looked weird was the characters. The backgrounds and action scenes though made up for it in spades. Hope this stays on awhile.

[Rafa=FedKilla]

18 episode miniseries brah.

[RPGCrazied]

18 episode miniseries brah.

Oh? The OP says 10, maybe the ratings will be super high and they will just make another season. I know I'd watch this day 1 on Disney XD. I have the channel.

[duckroll]

18 episode miniseries brah.

It's 10 episodes.

According to Variety 6-13 is the target group.

Rereading it I see they also quote the producers as hoping the franchise gains enough ratings to encourage a sequel to Legacy, so you can't have that without gaining the appeal of older audiences.

It's 10 episodes.

They are now going to do 18 according to the same Variety source.

[Coldsnap]

So stoked to find out about this. I loved Legacy, like loved loved loved it.

[duckroll]

I think that's a typo, because otherwise they would actually have a bigger story talking about how it has been expanded to 18 episodes from 10. It's a big jump.

[Epcott]

Missed the episode on the 18th, but it's coming on in 30 minutes... omg I can't wait!

[isny]

Here's some concept art for ya'll!

I caught it on accident and I really enjoyed it. One of those shows you can kick back and watch while enjoying the amazing visuals. I was almost mad when I heard that clu almost killed tron from some other animated show.

[isny]

Coming June 3-7th to the Downtown Disney District at Disneyland in Anaheim, California.

[RPGCrazied]

Comes on tomorrow?

Excite? I am.

Comes on tomorrow? Excite? I am.

Yup, the first episode "The Renegade, Part 1" airs tomorrow night, followed by "The Renegade, Part 2" the following week. Four weeks in a row of Tron Uprising goodness!

(Although, checking BOTH Disney Channel and Disney XD, neither of them have the show listed as being shown tomorrow...)

Strange that the online ones don't list it.

The official FB page has been updated quite a bit over the past few days with a bunch of concept art.

Bump for the episode tonight.

I don't think that link above is the official Tron Legacy FB page, but the good news about it being unofficial is that the person running it says they'll be uploading the second episode tomorrow, so we'll be getting two episodes within one day =D

Can't wait. I hope this show has stellar ratings and ends up being a full time series.

What's gonna happen to the bike?

Is that Weaslely lil dude gonna get backhanded for this shit?

Just watched the pilot and was pleasantly surprised. The environment art is breathtaking!

No need to sign up with itunes. Episodes can be watched on the disney website.

So far so good. This show is building up with some likeable protagonists. The villains could use some more work though.

[acksman]

wow this is not to bad.

[Andrex]

Second ep was much much better than the premiere, legitimately impressed. Also surprised that the music has kept delivering, it really channels the movie score well while also having several great themes of its own.

[methane47]

So this show is great.

everyone Definitely should watch

[Gila]

Watched the first two eps, good stuff

Emmanuelle Chriqui = drool

[GameplayWhore]

This is really promising stuff. Pretty tight overall, save for any of the Zed stuff, which seems to serve a purpose of only breaking up the flow of the story with uninteresting side plot.

The action choreography is occasionally slick as all get out.

[Cipherr]

Wow... they sort of did a pretty good fucking job with this. The first episode at least, I havent seen the second, but wow. Very interesting and very well done.

[Ryu]

OMG, Lance Reddick in episode 2? Quality. Pure quality.
