Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I saw it and I am really excited.

I was a little cynical as I am not a big fan of remakes, but as films like Freaky Friday were ok, I am curious. Once I saw the trailer, I am now stoked, and if the story stacks up, I cannot wait to see this. First Disney film I have been excited about since POTC!

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo This is very true, except I do not like Empire as much as a New Hope! But if you list all of the sequels ever made and weighed up whether they were improvements, the ones you have listed will find little company, especially in the last 10 - 20 years.

Originally Posted By Anatole69 ^^ I agree about Hollywood loving to sequalize and remake. Honestly though, this franchise was probably moribund except for Lassiter loving it so much. If it weren't for his interest in the project I seriously doubt it would ever be made, so I don't think the motivation for this movie came from trying to exploit the original film. - Anatole
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Agreed, which is why I am excited. TRON is certainly in my all time 100, and one of my prefered Disney films. So I am really hopeful of this one. I do wonder if they will break new ground like the 1st one though?

Do you remember the really cool "Programmes" marching in MSEP? To me they were a highlight. They also came out and danced on stage when we saw the Pointer Sisters "Doing the Neutron" in Tomorrowland one night too.
