Tron Uprising

[Keith]

Second 2 episodes are holding up pretty well. I'm very pleased so far.

[Agent ONE]

Wow, this is awesome!!

[Renato]

Count me in among those loving this show so far. And I don't even know what's going on in the broader sense of things because I don't remember what happened in the movies; I might have to rent them again.

Just for everyone's information, the animation is being handled by Polygon Pictures, the Japanese studio which is doing an awesome job with Transformers Prime and also does some Clone Wars episodes.

HDMI connected my Laptop to my HDTV and played both episodes from DisneyXD at full screen... awesome! This show looks and sounds amazing, the voice talent is superb, the animation is striking and beautifully choreographed and lavishly done within its visual style, and the story thus-far is satisfyingly engaging. Bravo to Disney for bringing this to TV and online, and in such high quality. This and TLOK are officially my favorite shows, animated or otherwise.

[Twoducks]

The character designs remind me a lot of Phantom 2040.

[m0n5t3r]

Just finished watching the first ep. Looks very promising. I'll definitely be following this series.

I hope we get to see Olivia Wilde's character and it'll resemble her just like how Flynn/CLU resembles Jeff Bridges.

I can see that from the lankyness of the characters, but the actual design details still remind me of older CG productions like that Dire Straits video & the Out of This World game series.

Doubt Olivia Wilde's character will pop up, but at the same time, you never know. The part of the gird that Flynn is hold up in seems to be closer to Tron City. Plus the end of the prequel game left her & Flynn pretty much licking their wounds after the system monitor got taken out.

[Hikuro]

Digging this more now. Looks like Disney has a win right now.

[Fly4victory]

For those that downloaded the two free episodes from Itunes, did you get them to sync?

I can't seem to get them to sync to my Ipod classic.

Are free-bees now restricted to computer only?

[Arthurius]

wow, saw the first 3 episodes, and this is my favorate series playing right now. The music and animation is a treat.

[Dynaman]

Finished watching the first two, the show certainly has promise but could also fall down a deep chasm of mediocrity if they are not careful. They are walking a fine line between acceptable for younger viewers while still keeping the show gritty.

[Omegablue]

Already into episode 4. Pretty cool, even though the character development is becoming predictable, but the personalities are remaining solid.

[mecha2241]

Don't look for this show to be around too long... (you'll have to scroll down a little)

We are simply going to have to get the word out & support it.

I hate when damn good shows get cancelled because people just didn't take the time to check it out... then when they do it's already gone.

Nope. It's more of the fact that there's too many idiots that can only enjoy stupid reality shows...

[GMANIFESS]

True. TV hasn't been the same since that writer's strike a while back. The reality show plague continues...

With Thundercats & Avengers animated pretty much over, if Tron gets cancelled then Transformers Prime & Young Justice is the last US animation on TV for me.

[Hikuro]

Not too mention there are people who just don't have these channels like myself.

[Omegablue]

Kids these days also only understand Facebook on their phones, or playing gangster or Bieber.

Very little of our youth really appreaciates the simplicity of animation shows...

[Keith]

Damnit, I knew this would happen.

[mechaninac]

To be perfectly honest, if it weren't for this thread I would have never known that Tron Legacy even existed. I've been watching online and enjoying it very much, but I do not have Disney XD in my cable line-up, nor do I plan to ever get it. If Tron were aired on a regular basis in the regular Disney Channel it would have a much better chance to reach a wider audience; but in my case, if The Disney Channel didn't come in the standard channel package I would not have that either as there is absolutely nothing worth watching in that bastion of pablum.

[Hikuro]

Yeah that's another thing. I thought initially this series was starting in the fall and this is summer. So I totally would of missed it if it wasn't for this thread. What kind of marketing has Disney really even done for the series to even have a chance? Granted, I don't even really watch television cause I got basic and there's really nothing even on it!

[Keith]

At this point, if they packed a whole season on bluray with an ending to the story arc, I'd be all over it.

[Fly4victory]

Saw mt first episode on TV and not via download, still a rather straight line plot....but.....I am really glad this was made yet looking that the other programming on Disney XD, am left with the feeling that Tron is the best thing they have to offer and the rest of their stuff is the junk that should be cancelled.

They have other shows on Disney XD? :0

[mechaninac]

The only other shows on Disney XD worth watching from what I've been able to glean from online line-up lists are reruns of Gargoyles, and maybe Duck Tales and Darkwing Duck. All their original programming seem to follow the same formulaic Disney Channel not-fit-for-anyone-over-11yo vomit inducing pap.

[Dobber]

My kids and I actually really like Kick Buttowski.

Chris

[mecha2241]

Phineas and Ferb FTW!

[Dobber]

Yeah, them too, though they are also on the regular Disney channel. Kick is only on Disney XD.

[Keith]

There was some interesting backstory this week. Also a grear render of Quorra, they really captured Olivia Wilde's eyes.

Finally found time to watch the 2 latest episodes.

At least i got my wish before this show kicks the bucket.

Yeah, I thought that too. I forgot to check but did they get Olivia to voice the character too. It sounded like her.

Chris

[GMANIFESS]

I read last week Olivia would be reprising her role as Quorra for the show.

[Hikuro]

She's in the episode credits as guest star so yes Olivia Wilde did appear in the latest episode. At least we got some good back story.

[Old_Nash]

Well.

Ask me how they put the Iso's in the history...

[Keith]

Well.

????

If you're asking wh y Iso's aren't in the show, it's because they were already whiped out before this part of the story started. If the game Tron Evolution stands as canon, Clu took them out with a virus & mass genocide.
