While it is now obvious TRON is more than likely being added to WoC, I wonder if the Christmas show they were talking about is on its way as well.

I suspect someone watching it for the first time now (especially if young) may wonder what all the hub bub is about. Though I am very pleased that my 7 year old is a TRON fan, so much so, he is almost as excited about this new film as I am.

Originally Posted By wonderingalice Ah, Dave... I pretty much always agree with you, but "Tron"... Ugh. I never saw the first one, hated the addition to my beloved PeopleMover and have zero plans to see the second one (although, Mr. Alice seems to be interested. Maybe I'll suggest a guys' night out for him. ;-) Re: Tron in WOC... Fine, whatever... But do a Christmastime show that doesn't include it. I'm just glad that the "ElecTRONica" blecch is only taking place on weekends during that season. We're there on weekdays.

Before TRON, graphics were very rare, and very poor. TRON really was a break through and used some great tried and tested story arks - good vs. evil, spartacus, theological thinking, war movies, liberty vs. oppression, and really cool computer theory too. I really think if TRON was never made, would we have Pixar? It was the movie that really inspired John Lasseter. And I am pretty sure we would not have had the Matrix. I am very excited about this movie. I haven't anticipated a Disney release this much since the original PotC.

Originally Posted By wonderingalice Honestly, Dave... It was that segment on the PeopleMover that made me never want to see the movie. I hated it that much. Felt like it was just thrown in there. I always loved the PM for what it meant to me in 1967 (even though it was 101 the first time I was there to give it a whirl... LOL ;-) To me it was all about a wonderful mode of transportation for the future - the future that all of Tomorrowland made me envision back then. The addition of weird motorcyle graphics and the zipping, whirring noise was a complete turn off for me.
