Why Disney Gave Up On Tron
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июн 2024
- Disney finally decided to give its cult classic science fiction film Tron a sequel in 2010, nearly 30 years after the original was released. Tron: Legacy was a modest financial hit that went over well with fans, and talks of a third film were underway, but nothing ever came of them, with Disney canceling the film in 2015.
What caused Disney to change its mind in regards to the franchise? From the other live-action Disney films that were struggling to the merchandise that just didn’t sell enough, let’s take a look at the details of why Disney gave up on Tron.

What was your favorite Tron moment?
the night club scene with the Daft Punk music was awsome
Every second of both tron movies.
The end credits. I got up, left, and got on with life. How many times can you really recycle imagination? Bruce Boxleitner has the right idea.
As far as the "toys" angle goes, that's what really drove a stake thru the light cycles. The movies are a loss leader for merchandising. The entire idea has been turned on its head. The bean counters will only "risk" a film if it will pay for itself many times over beyond box office tallies.
When Rinzler totally upstages Sam in the tournament
Every part of both movies and Tron: Uprising.
"Not Disney enough." You got that right: this movie was so good, I still can't believe Disney produced it.
Disney makes good movies for the most part
The movie shouldn't have been for a wide audience, even after the script was dumbed down it was still too cerebral.

Not Disney enough? More like, "Too original for Disney"
Seriously!
Boom!!!
more like "We can't milk this one to death"
True.
They cancelled Star Wars: Clone Wars, right after they bought the Star Wars franchise.
It still had one more season to go (with several episodes already in the works).
Maybe someday, the fans will "fix" the unfinished animated scenes, the way that Doctor Who fans "restored" some of the old Doctor Who episodes, which only had the audio tracts and some photos left.
Tron legacy was ten times better than the Star Wars dumpster fires Disney put on us.
Jerlemi2 I AGREE
It so was
I still haven’t watched new Star Wars. I have the 3 main ones on vhs that I somewhat care about. Tron is 1000 times better
@@critterwhisperer5821 I beg of you even if you're curious dont even bother man. Seriously, its more than just bad, they're offensive films to anyone who considers themselves a Star Wars fan. You really arent missing ANYTHING! And I know people who say that and I've thought, "oh well maybe I'll look and see if I like it ironically maybe it will at least be interesting", no dude I mean it for real. You arent missing...I repeat, ANYTHING!!
Indeed. Rise of Skywalker sucks ASS. I love tron so much I based my profile pic on it (tron H)
I hate it how these movies are so underrated. They’re some of my favorite movies of all time, for many reasons. I loved Tron Legacy so much. I wish they made a 3rd one..
I suggest watching TRON: Uprising the animated series. It has a better story than the movie
Bro what the hell Tron Isn't underatted. Man when it first came out it's trailer was shown in TV even in Indian channels too, pretty much shown worldwide... Man I was shocked with the trailer it was sooo good ❤️ I even played the Tron evolution video game, it's dope dude... Can't believe Anon died and Sam lived 😢
Its actually confirmed there Will be a tron 3
I watched it a billion times as a kid
They are..
tron legacys sound track was something of wonders tho.
louie cunillera you can thank daft punk for that
Darth ball im aware of whom to thank.
What do you expect ?? XD
louie cunillera ah you know your stuff. Fair play
The soundtrack was the best part of the movie.
TRON: Uprising didn't "crash". Disney buried it in a midnight Sunday slot on XD. The fans loved it and they killed it.
Stephen Schaefer
Your right in the fact that the crash was artificial, but a 2 million viewer premiere on a global network with a downward progression isn’t great. Burying it was a good choice.
No, it was buried to cause the crash. Disney didn't want the older fan base the show was gaining, only kids whom they could sell toys to. They were afraid of a "brony" situation like what was occuring with "My Little Pony" at that time.
@@keithreinsel7842 Disney is anti-brony?
Well, if you remember, at My Litlle Pony's height back around the time Uprising was out, there were a lot of middle aged men into MLP and society on the whole had begun to realize this and society's general consensus was that it was weird and unsettling. Disney didn't want that kind of press about one of it's shows (remember, this is still before Disney had bought Star Wars, and not long after they had accquired Marvel and we're still of the mentality, "We make things for kids," as opposed to now where they make things for kids but they understand adults will watch and enjoy it too so it is not geared only for kids).
There were more young adults watching Uprising than pre-teens who Disney was aiming the show at-and since in their eyes the point was to sell toys and young adults don't buy kids toys the way pre-teens and their parents would.
All these things are why they set Uprising up to fail. There is a reason why it is near impossible to find anywhere online to watch or even purchase.
If my information is correct, there is also one more episode that was supposed to be the real season finale that was never released-you can see one or two brief scenes of it in some of the music videos for the show's soundtrack.
@@keithreinsel7842 yeah there was that one music video.
Man Disney just really don't understand people at all because dumb reasons like that. They should reach a adult audience just as much as a children's audience. What's next they will stop making animated movies and shows because "cartoons are just for kids" stereotypes?
"Tron" to Disney was like what the "Iron Giant" was to Warner Bros, they were both too blinded by money to see what they were missing.
So Disney does not care about what fans want, only how much MORE profit they make. That's greed to the max!
Lemme me tell you, under that safe family entertainment facade their movies have, lies the very own hidden corpse of greedy corporate evil
They almost lost Spider-Man cus of it
It’s called business but oh well 🤷♂️
@Unknown User factss, I hate when people called out Disney beig greddy m, it isnt the case really
Thats how a business works, you try to make as much money as possible.
"Not Disney enough"
Star Wars
EXACTLY!
EonHSD fucking exactly
Star Wars MAKES $$$$$
Also, Star Wars sells toys, Disney like things that sells toys.
MARVEL ???
GIVE TRON TO NETFLIX
@@card.slayer It's a phenomenal idea.
Christopher nolan Is better choice
true
Salman Shahid why do you think that sir
R S I agree they’ll probably add A gay romance with Beck and Bodi which I don’t wanna know what other agendas they’ll put into it, I’d say wait until Disney comes back to their sense and hops back to making good films then Tron would be ready to be used.

The ride is actually really good
Who else LOVED “Tron Legacy”
I did. amazing. made me want to ride in a light bike
I rewatch it around twice a year at least.
Tron legacy was awesome!
I been watching Legacy since I was like 6 or 7
@@generalstaal7075 me 2. And I almost never watch a movie twice
I loved tron legacy. It's a real shame there won't be another one...
If I see one more person with that dog filter as their profile pic i'm suing snapchat lol
But for real the reason you see so many people with this profile pic is because Pewdiepie did a sort of contest a couple weeks ago and to enter it you had to change your profile picture to this.
maggie flanagan why?
Why do so many people hate anime?
Most of them have no idea what they are talking about
Kazoonationify yeah my parents went to see the original and left me and my brother's at my grandparents house. my older brother was upset! Then a year or two later it came on the Disney channel!! we watched it every time it came on!! Keep in mind this was before VCRs were affordable (avg $750)
In bird culture, what you said is considered "a dick move"
I liked legacy
It was that movie that got me Interested in tron in the first place.
so true ^
same...i'd rank it up there as one of the best sci fi flicks of the last decade...then again, there isn't much competition in that genre...such a shame we're probably gonna have to wait another 30 years for a new one
I also enjoyed "TRON Legacy." While, like with the original "TRON," the story was a little thin I thought that it was a good movie. However, I think there is one place where the TRON Franchise could continue: As a comic book. There's enough story potential for a least one monthly comic and I'm sure there are some great creative teams that could write some great stories.
I really like Tron: Legacy as well. Honestly, I don't understand why it didn't do well at the box office. Perhaps it was just the wrong time of year or something because it was not a bad movie.
Tron should be a series on Disney+ like the Mandalorian.
@Bill O'Brien I really hope they decide to do that before the voice actors become too old. The guy who voiced General Tesler is getting up there in age.
@Bill O'Brien that could be the only reason I pay for Disney+
it is!
@@iamoctonate Lance Hickerson AKA Bishop from Aliens
Hopefully Disney does to Tron Uprising what Cartoon Network did to Samurai Jack
If anyone works for Netflix buy Tron from disney I need another Tron movie in my life
Who wants Tron on TV? I want it back in Imax. in 3D.
At least it would be there
And I Need Tron Uprising season 2!!
This video leaves out the one obvious factor. Disney owns Star Wars now, and doesn't ever need to make another Tron movie again. I think this is unfortunate. I liked legacy better than their Star Wars movies so far.
Richie Castellano And they have Marvel. And when it cones to hard edgy science fiction, with all due respect, Disney has always been reluctant to fully embrace the genre. Star Wars may be considered Science Fiction, but comes across more as Science Fantasy.
it science fantasy! thank you, for once someone knows what star wars is, star wars has and never will be a sci fi franchise, it's a space fantasy opera.
You're welcome. Since it has spaceships and aliens, it's instantly shoehorned in with all other Science Fiction, but as I stated - it's more fantastical than its counterparts - Hence Science Fantasy.
I just realized that Tron Legacy is basically Last Jedi, only it doesn't suck.
You’re not the only one.
Disney should just sell the IP to another willing company. Tron has so much potential and shouldn't be left in the dust like this
AlternateStudios maybe Disney will allow Square Enix to use the script for the 3 movie for kh3
AlternateStudios well ready player one may bring the TRON game world idea back... Disney just make remakes now which is so sad
I was thinking the same. They could hand it off to Fox or DreamWorks.
I agree since they feel like Tron is a "Fail" (despite making 400 million) Let another studio have at the Tron franchise!
i say trade it for the FF rights back for Marvel ...that would be great. Marvel needs Dr Doom badly
We need a Disney+-exclusive sequel, at least
Brooooo... I'd love that! They've made a bunch of original shows on Disney+ (Diary of a Future President, Timmy Failure, etc...) so they could easily make a short show or special for Tron
Agreed
Yeah, I would just like anything tron related now.
If they bring Uprising season 2, I'm paying for it.
I don’t care if it takes my whole life, I’ll wait for tron 3. One of the greatest movies I’ve seen in my life.
Tron Legacy was better than The Force Awakens. There, I said it.
A lot of films are better than the force awakens
the star wars prequels weren't.
Re Mar At least they had their own identity. The force awakens just stole the original trilogy's plot
... stole the original trilogy's plot and then fuck uped it really hard XD
Lmao I'm one of the few people I know who didn't actually care for Force Awakens. Was a decent movie but copied wayyy too much and had a lot of dumb lines that seemed out of place for a star wars film.
I liked Tron: Legacy a lot. Too bad we aren't getting a sequel especially since it was clearly set up for one.
Screw it, give those rights to someone who will give us another Tron. Flynn Lives!
So does Ram.
And Tron himself
After watching legacy almost 9 years later it holds up so much and it should be embraced either as a movie or a series..
i thought it was a fantastic sequel. its no terminator 2, but it had a pretty solid story, believable plot elements, and came to a logical conclusion
@@andykapsar4667 I agree. It has a huge mythos now, still a fan of Tron Legacy
The marketing was not great for the film. Poor marketing can easily impact merchandise and ticket sales
@Gregster Same, even as a kid i found the story boring and plain af, i only watched two times at the cinema because that disc wars and bike scenes and also because was my first 3D movie and was so fascinated with that shit
@Gregster The only thing that threw me off was the mediocre CGI job for CLU's face. That part hasn't held up well.
Parker Crossland that cgi wasn’t even that bad compared to films of the time but okay
@@ddylon For face grafting i suppose so. Still, it definitely fell into the uncanny valley (google it).
Same situation in Tomorrowland and for John carter very very large underrated movies smh
They made the suits look so cool in tron...
I KNOW RIGHT I WISH I WAS SAM
the only thing i want is another dope soundtrack by Daft Punk
I hope they are still alive when Tron 3 is made xd
Overwatch Clips duh they're robots lol
Overwatch Clips robots dont die
Ratko Batinic yeah I hope it turns out better than their latest album. it was a bit of a snooser other than the single...
Jeenkz K That's your opinion. I liked it but whatever
These are all just different ways to say "not enough money."
Yeah and that only happened because Disney SUCKS at Marketing.
lol tron was a hit but disney didn't know how to capitalize it, GTA has a game mode for tron and was a hit and I'm pretty sure if they had a great story for the animated series and kept going it would have been a hit because i remembered watching it but lost interest because i didn't know when a new episode would air
exactly, they started being shifty on when they'd release them. i definitely remember that, i'd wait a week and it wouldny air. i'd be so upset lmao
I played the GBA game online and it's great! when I was still playing it I actually wanted to keep playing even if it was just an emulator
Disney should’ve given Rockstar Games the rights to the Tron franchise
If Disney isn't going to make another Tron movie then just sell the rights to someone else and let them do it, like seriously.. I just hope they don't butcher it and re-cast everyone, because i enjoy the Tron movie's, especially Tron: Legacy.
Yeah true tbh I 100 percent agree
Holding an IP prevents other people from making something good with it. It eliminates competition.
Sell to marvel
Yeah, but there is probably a lot of business that would have be covered.
Disney should’ve just traded the rights to Tron in exchange for Star Wars
I didnt actually like tomorrowland but I loved Tron.
Same here. Tomorrowland was a pretty boring movie filled with clichés. "Tron" at least looked and sounded awesome. And it had the Dude!
Same here.
CiJ Tomorrow Land sucked because of studio intervention. Its sad because it could have been a fine movie.
Tomorrowland was uninspired, mostly boring, and missed the mark for whatever it was going for.
Legacy was ok, but had some issues. All that being said, I'd pay $1,000 for a sequel and a new Daft Punk soundtrack to go with it (heavy emphasis on the Daft Punk soundtrack).
To be fair, I enjoyed the first part of Tomorrowland that introduced George Clooney's character as a child. But once he grew up and the story focused on the girl, it turned very lame indeed. But the music, done by Michael Giacchino himself, was a work of wonders!
Who's here in 2020 after watching Tron again then looking for a Tron 3 to just find out that Disney did this.
Me 😢
This series had such potential... especially in the modern age! The movie was soo innovative in the 80s, and although the second one was a bit weaker, I still liked the concepts. They could make this into an incredible franchise!!! If only it could be recognized like Star Wars.... TRON has hope. Star Wars is dead until someone else besides Kathleen steps in.
Tron Legacy and Tron Uprising were both fantastic. Underappreciated. I enjoy them more now than I did when they first came out.
How sad that they value money over quality storytelling.
That's business these days. Some pretty top notch TV shows get canceled simply because not enough people watch the show during its airing....despite the fact that most people tape TV shows on their cable box to watch later, or even watch online. Networks don't count those numbers. They limit themselves to who watches during the original airing of the show, and they judge the show's performance on those numbers alone. RIP Almost Human, The Cape, Forever, and other great shows who didn't make it past 1 season!
Alas, yes.
RIP Firefly
Business has always been like that.
Believe me, all businesses are like that. There are some businesses who care about money but still make good content, but they are all in for the money. Why else do people work?
The tron sequel was an amazing movie. The effects were great and the soundtrack too. The best disney movie ive ever seen
Tron evolution is underrated imo it’s a pretty fun game.
Played it and loved every second of it except the ending,where i was unable to finish because of the difficulty shooting into infinity...... so i never finished it.... :(
Disney should just sell the rights to another studio with better writers that could make make Tron Franchise better or just get better writers.
you know Disney would never let anything go if they think one day they'll get a lot of money out of it. they would rather let an original movie shrivel up and die rather than risk giving it to another company. After-all why should they risk letting another company out-due them when they can release live action remakes that the masses just gobble up for some reason (even though the animated versions are better) and not have to worry about competition?
They should continue Uprising on Cartoon Network
Or at least release the last of it on DVD like they did with Clone Wars!!!
Makes me wonder....why don't they just sell Tron to someone else since they don't even need it anymore?
Feeltheforce2629 NOOOOOOOOOnononono... Cartoon Network ruins things already now, Uprising is better off on Netflix where it won't get screwed over constantly
The narrator forgot to mention Disney is also occupied with Star Wars, that's probably the main reason tron got pushed to the side
I, too, think that Star Wars was the biggest reason the third Tron movie was canceled. Tron has been referred to by many as Disney's answer to Star Wars. Now that they have ACTUAL Star Wars, they don't need a wannabe franchise. And between The Force Awakens and Rogue One, they have proven that Star Wars is in good hands. Sure, some hated TFA for one reason or another, and the same goes for RO, but both of Disney's current Star Wars offerings have enjoyed significant global box office success, and that is what the executives care about.
I really wish they would have done TR3N, but if they can give Star Wars that much more of their budget, I am willing to accept that they didn't. One thing Disney knows how to do well is leverage their successful IPs. And with a Star Wars movie coming out once a year for at least the next four years, especially maintaining the energy and momentum of the two they've delivered so far, I think I'll be well entertained.
Rogue One and the forthcoming Han Solo anthology films explore events between Episodes 3 and 4 of the main saga. And we have to remember that there is a 30 year gap between Episodes 6 and 7 in which even more anthology films could explore events in the vastness of the Star Wars universe.
Regarding the future of Tron... I would like to se them introduce the world of Tron in the form of a Free To Play massively multiplayer environment, in which we can be both spectators of and/or participants in a yearly story arc. I would so play that.
Yeah, lets face it, right now Disney is busy pumping out a HUGE string of movies.
In just the next 12 months: 4 (5?) Marvel films, Star Wars, Pirates, 2 (3?) Pixar films (Cars 3 and Coco, Wreck it Ralph 2?); and not long after: Live action Mulan, The Incredibles 2, another Star Wars, 2 MORE Marvel films. And Im sure Im missing some. They are busy as hell.
Dude, I loved Tron Legacy. Im cool with letting another 20+ years go by for a 3rd movie as long as the same amount of love goes into it that Legacy got. Well, that and another DP soundtrack.
I misread pumping out as pimping out and didn't think twice.....oh Disney
Tron legacy was very under rated i love this movie i can watch ot over and over again
I just rewatched Tron Legacy. It was such a good movie.
Here's the one reason you forgot: Disney bought STAR WARS, so now they don't need TRON to be their flagship Sci-Fi franchise.
Omni Viewer I don't think they ever treated Tron like a flagship
K. Flynn No, but it honestly could've been if it had gotten the same kind of love their other stuff gets.
I'm pretty sure that was Disney's intention, and they certainly did try to make it happen. There was a brief period where Tron was EVERYWHERE, and Disney didn't want you to forget it. Remember those Marvel Comics variant covers with characters redesigned to look like they were in Tron? Those covers had nothing to do with the content of the issues; they existed solely to promote Tron as your new favorite thing. Too bad for them, people lost interest quickly.
The whole scenario just goes to prove the old adage, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." Disney bombarded us with Tron, but Tron isn't what we wanted.
It makes me so angry that so few people cared enough to see it.
Omni Viewer they should still bring back tron though
I hate Disney! They should sell the rights to Tron! I actually really enjoyed this movie and was looking forward to Another installment!
Mor2come21 I agree 👍
Mor2come21
Give it to Netflix. They have deep pockets and lots of patience.
Mike Freeman 100!

Mor2come21 I totally agree 😳
Suddenly 3 years later, there's talk of a sequel being back on.
That so?
@Adam Akmal yeah??
Sell it!! Some of us actually want another tron. I really enjoyed the movie.
Tron Uprising was actually one of the best shows Disney XD has put out in years, dark, funny, not too childish yet not too mature, it had a perfect balance; heck, it even won awards and Disney pulled the plug on it! It's like The Clone Wars, an impressive show, with everything on it's side, yet it gets cancelled and replaced with garbage (Rebels is good, not as good though)
Clone Wars didn't quite get plug pulled on it tho, I mean sort of because of the Disney Star Wars buy out, but it at least wrapped up its story unlike Tron Uprising. I would say Uprising was a lil like Disney's Legend of Korra, a great mature animation that kept getting fucked over by its own network
Cole Hughes i dislike the endingto it and final fight but hey at least their fans got the final story pieces and continuingcomics
Cole Hughes No it didn't they still had two to three seasons worth of story to tell.
sithlord2225 I know right?
teens don't buy toys
animated kids shows are commercials for their toy lines
I liked both Legacy and Uprising actually..
Mark Isaacs Uprising was good but Disney thought it was too dark
Wow dark?? I mean like de-rezzing people in the show was fairly mild when you compare it to Star Wars rebels that didn't mind showing Kanan's blinding by Darth Maul
And Kanan being tortured by the inquisitor.
And the giant desert spiders that eat people.
Mark Isaacs Every unit or program who disagreed with Clu got deprogrammed or derezzed. Maybe not bloody but it's the worst that could happen. The show was meant to give people the illusion they were safe from harm. So that they wouldn't revolt. Clu is just as bad or conniving as Dart Sidius. Both Star Wars and Tron are about totalitarian regimes. Although the world in Tron is closer to our world. And therefore more real and darker.
IKR!!! DAMN YOU DISNEY!!!
"I fight for the users"
I wish disney would've said "I'll produce it for the fans" idc wish it would've made it for the fans just because or someone else make it
2040
HOW IS HERE?
The reason the Tron video game failed is simple: it wasn't the right genre. A tron MMORPG similar to GTA but in the Tron world would have made so much money
A MMORPG may have also struggled in the video game market. That particular style of game has declined and even the famous World of Warcraft had half the number subscribers in 2015 compared to its 2010 peak.
The Matrix trilogy also had a MMORPG. Despite the movie franchise popularity, it eventually shut down due to a lack of paying subscribers.
Tron Evolution failed because of its design flaws.. way too much trial and error/cheap deaths to be enjoyable and the combat really could have used some work. I still beat the bloody thing but it was far from a good game.
Reshyrah man I loved that game, absolutely destroyed in it too
@@Reshyrah not good but somewhat enjoyable, especially the parkour
Give me a Tron game similar to WoW and my life will be complete.
That's because Disney lost it's creativity. They're all just reboots
Richard Lew this is sadly true.
star wars part 7 is a perfect example
You know things are getting bad when even Disney is losing its creativity
This isn't just disney There have been many reboots by quite a few studios these days. But yes Disney is probably the biggest offender.
I guess that's what happens when you become a multi-billion oligopoly of the media and film industries.
I've literally never heard of 'Tomorrow Land'... maybe that was part of the problem, reach?
It is a movie that lets you figure out what is it about in the final 30 minutes
That movie is actually bad, tron legacy is awsome
There’s bad movies
And there’s Tomorrowland
As one of the few people who played the transfer game, he was downplaying when he said it was sad that it never launched. That game brought so much nostalgia and happiness to me. It actively changed my view on the grid.
I loved Tron 2. Great CGI, great music. Too bad.
The story and the actors were just average though.
That's why it wasn't very successful.
Overwatch Clips I strongly disagree
Tron: Legacy didn't have the heart and creativity of the first one. It looked and sounded really cool, but that can't save the lacking script.
I personally liked Legacy too but you gotta admit that the story of it isn't as thought out as in many other movies.
The scene where Kevin rewrites Quorra's code, they shouldve turned her into the new Tron with the "T" logo and everything. It wouldve been great, Kevin wouldve given Quorra Admin access, turning her into "god" so he wouldnt have had to stay. Then Kevin and Sam couldve gone home together and felt safe leaving The Grid in Quorra's hands, just like when Kevin left it in Tron's hand in the original movie.
That's a shame. I really wanted to see another. Olivia Wilde's character was so interesting. I would have loved to see a movie about her life after The Grid.

He doesn't rewrite her code. He even says it's too complex for him but he manages to decrypt it ONLY to fix her arm. He couldn't turn her into anything else because he also says the ISO's are more advanced than programs, including Tron or CLU.
The point of the movie wasn't to be an easy victory. It is super influenced by the bible and other dichotomic religious icons. That's why CLU's personality is based on the mythology of Lucifer. He looks just like Flynn (God) but is only a copy with limited rationality. That's why his light isn't white but the second brightest color: Yellow.That color is also the color of the sun, which is the Morning Star (Lucifer). Sam is the son of God and even his coming is announced by the opening of the "gate" which is a bright star in the sky just like when Jesus is born. Tron represents the angel corrupted by CLU, turning him into a red program. The ISO's represent the part of humanity who is able to find divinity through mortality, the enlightened ones. While the rest of the programs are just the regular humans doing what society tells them to (programs), serving whomever is in charge without being able to look beyond the world they're in.
Gabriel Caram Well Gabriel, perhaps you should tell this to everyone that hates this film. Anyway, I was just looking for a Tron film, but tron was hardly in this, and his total screen time as the actual tron was extremely miniscule.
A better ending would've been to let the recently woken Tron prevent Flynn from reintegrating with CLU, making him the hero at the very end allowing both Flynns and Korra to exit, thus serving its purpose as the program made to protect the users. You're right in pointing out how the movie is named TRON and he doesn't even show his face once besides from the flashbacks. I think Disney just didn't want to put an effort into it because of their current business motto of rebooting only what is already known and liked without taking any risks...besides from Ant-Man which I ended up liking very much even when it seemed like it was going to suck.
I know that is a shame Olivia Wilde was amazing in Tron legacy
Petition for a tron legacy carry on?? Im not waiting 30 years
It should come as no surprise, seeing how Disney has behaved just like the villains in all their stories.
They are the very ones who ruin our great childhood memories.
Too many people supported Disney, only to be taken for granted.
Well, if that works, then why do people slam on Tomorrowland, Wrinkle in Time, and Artemis Fowl?
I thought this movie was so awesome maybe it's because Olivia Wilde is my celeb fantasy wify lol, I could imagine Tron in VR though would be epic!!!!!
Elite Patriot X mine is Vanessa Morgan
The scene where Kevin rewrites Quorra's code, they shouldve turned her into the new Tron with the "T" logo and everything. It wouldve been great, Kevin wouldve given Quorra Admin access, turning her into "god" so he wouldnt have had to stay. Then Kevin and Sam couldve gone home together and felt safe leaving The Grid in Quorra's hands, just like when Kevin left it in Tron's hand in the original movie.
Elite Patriot X well there is a gear VR game called Disk league and it's pretty good
He would never do that though. Kevin would never leave Quorra on the grid, he could never leave her behind because she is the last ISO, and therefore more important than an ordinary program.
Holy crap! I never realized how much I need a Tron light cycle game on my Vive until now. Somebody make it happen!
Tron Legacy made as much money as Star Trek, which got 2 sequels.
Ikr, If Hollywood can make all these sequels to movies no one remembered then I'm sure they can do a Tron 3
Creed Luvari and cool fidget spinners people always forget that one
Sure, but Disney down't own Star Trek, so it wasn't their call. If they did, then likely there wouldn't have been any sequels.

Tron: confirmed another sequel
*Threequel
I want to create a 3rd person open world tron game set after Tron Legacy and Evolution. You'll be able to customize your program with different helmets, cloaks, suits, the light patterns on the suit, your program's face, and much more. You'll be able to aim and throw your disc, the longer you aim the stronger, faster and more tracking the disc will have. You'll be able to dodge by flipping around, block, and parry, as well as be able to use different weapons such as lighter or heavy disc, light staffs, light swords, and end game weapons like being able to use 2 disc.
Multiplayer will have disc wars which will have light cycles, light jets, light tanks, and light runners all with different variations for balance. There will also be duel tournament mode similar to the movie Tron Legacy.
I have much more in a game document. I am a huge Tron fan and would like them to bring it back as well as expand the lore more and add more stuff.
see you guys in 2040 for the new tron film
Makalon102 I just hope Daft Punk will still be alive for the soundtrack.
Razmig Melkonian nah man we'll have to wait on their kids to grow up.
Makalon102 Is Tron really coming out on 2040?
+Makalon102 ur pic fits so well...yes rip
I'll wait patiently. :)
I liked both TRON: Legacy and Tomorrowland. Hugely underrated movies. Such a shame money has to control everything. Creativity should go first.
SpikaLim I didn't like either of them. Those movies were so boring.
Opinions are like assholes... everyone has one
Overwatch Clips lol XD
Overwatch Clips But some stinks more than others. :P
I do NOT what to be the judge of THAT contest!
I thought Tron Legacy was going to be amazing so I rented the original from Blockbuster. That way I could have the backstory. I wasn't disappointed. Then when I saw Tron Legacy in the movies. I was blown away at the story and the visuals. It reminded me of how I felt when the 1st Matrix came out, you just knew you were experiencing something that was never seen before. I think they're underestimating how much Tron had left in the tank.
It’s one of my favourite movies ever it’s like to future to me but look at what greed has done to it and video game franchises of today
It really makes me sad that Disney would much rather go with properties that we have seen a billion times (and are probably getting sick of.) instead of taking a chance and improving a franchise. Thankfully they are building a tron ride so that's something. ❤️
and they are ruining alot of the classic cartoons with their fucking live action mainly The Jungle Book. Beauty and the beast was ok but still they fucked up The Jungle Book like comeon Disney.
Yeah...unless you live near it...there is no point...
It's not Disney's fault that Tron and tomorrow land failed. let me put it like this, why take a risk and make something new if no-one is going to see it. I have loved every original live action film they have made (except pirates 4) so it makes me sad that Disney is to scared to do anything about it.
A_Dissapointment you know what is Disney’s fault? The failure of everything else of Tron, the series? Got axed because they keep changing the time slots, the toys? “No can do they’re all out of service” or something like that, the games? “Let’s not adverfuckingtise this game cause the movie didn’t do as good as we wanted”. Those are things Disney is to blame and I really liked this movie
tron uprising was hella good and it failed because disneyXD kept airing it at like 11PM
zeNUKEify That's my big issue with this video. How can we say the Tron franchise was doing objectively badly; when Disney pushed it into shitty timeslots, underhyped it, and undermined much of its chances?
zeNUKEify I totally agree
zeNUKEify no it's not audiences it's called Disney doesn't know how to Market or handle Tron
I recently watched the original tron, tron legacy, and tron uprising on Disney+, man I really want a sequel and season 2 after watching them now 😭
3:30 soooo we aren’t gonna talk about how the discs are like a big collectors thing sometimes going for like 300$
Looks like Disney didn't want Tron Uprising to succeed at all. It was really great, possibly my favorite entry to the Tron franchise, but it kept changing schedules on the fly and got the worst TV times possible for a Disney Channel show. It was also criminally undermarketed. Tron Uprising is like Disney XD's Legend Of Korra: Great animation, great, mature story, fucked over by the network.
Also, you don't even (reportedly) have the chance to buy _any_ Tron merch whatsoever in Disney Lands/Worlds. How was Disney expecting a (spends 5 minutes thinking ofa metaphor) horse to run when they cut off its legs?
exactly!. I remember going to disneyland and california adventures a year after the movie came out and tron merchandise was very rare, i stopped at every shop i saw and only things i found was a tron legacy shirt made by hurley, a 80s tron mickey pin, and a drawing of 80s tron mickey which i bought all three. I also miss elecTRONica at california adventures, such a cool spot, i know last time i went after they replaced it with madhatters tea party place i had my tron shirt on and one of the workers seen my shirt and said she misses elecTRONica and was sad that it got replaced.......
I know... I LOVED Tron: Uprising, I thought it was really good
Yea I'm 17 and haven't seen the original but I am in love with Tron and the world but as u said they used to show Tron legacy at around 9 pm and that time it was usually my bed time me being 10 or 11 so I wouldn't be able to watch it and same with the Tron merchandise when I went to Disney world Orlando I couldn't find any Tron
From what I heard, Disney created an all-new Pay Per View channel and forced fans to pay extra just to watch episodes. It's that reason which caused ratings to drop, because the fans simply couldn't afford the extra expense.
EXACTLY! THEY LITERALLY STARTED WITH A TIME SLOT OF 8 PM THEN CHANGED IT TO 9 PM AND THEN OUTRAGEOUSLY TO 12 AM. OF COURSE A SHOW IS GOING TO BOMB BECAUSE OF THAT! It literally looks like Disney made the show do bad on purpose because they werent interested at all and just wanted to get it over with.
I would give anything to see another tron
Me too man, me too
xAmRcNx same
xAmRcNx I WOULD SELL MY SOUL
i loved legacy, im excited for another!!

In June 2020, Walt Disney Studios President of Music & Soundtracks Mitchell Leib confirmed in an interview that a third Tron film was being actively worked on at Disney. He said that Disney has a script written and was looking for a director, though was hopeful that Kosinski would return, as well as saying that it was a high priority for them that Daft Punk return to do the score. In July 2020, The Disinsider reported that the third film is still in development as a sequel at least of sorts with Leto and is currently looking for a director and could see the cast of Legacy returning. In August 2020, Deadline reported that Garth Davis had officially been tapped to direct the film from a screenplay by Jesse Wigutow.
The whole reason why ratings didn't do so well toward the end of the first season of Tron Uprising is that Disney kept shoving the show around on the schedule. There were MANY times I turned on my TV, ready to watch the newest episode. To my annoyance, the show wasn't on when it was supposed to be scheduled. The last few episodes were aired, but at MIDNIGHT of all times. The show may have not appealed to kids, but was loved by fans of the franchise. I really wanted the show to continue because it had great story telling and animation, but Disney gave up on what was an award winning show. That should have told them to continue the show for the fans, but nope... Disney pulled the plug and didn't even mention cancelling the show. They probably assumed no one would notice that little detail.
Basically the Fox Firefly treatment...
Common way to kill a series the higher ups want to go away in favor of some shitty pet project of theirs, move the show around to deflate ratings
fun fact: some of the writters of the Show, were also the same writters of the movie, so you see that if Disney had been more flexible and made the writters do what they wanted to do with the movie we could had the same level or storytelling and plot detail than Uprising, but Disney is more interested in another Hermionie and the Beast or ANOTHER Alice in Wonderland than trying to be creative, or you know pissing on Star Wars fans making god awful decitions with the franchise.
Make a bad movie then blame on the franchise when it doesnt do well. Nice one disney...
Jordan Owens I actually liked it, Disney didn't give it all the room it deserved though.
Movie was great.
The real problem is that the ORIGINAL teaser had a better vision and alluded to a better story that what we got.
In the end we got visual and music, but the story poorly paced and didn't make enough sense.
Anyone else still wanting / waiting for a Tron 3 in 2021?
Instead of making badass movies that everyone likes let’s go ahead and make shitty live actions versions of our cartoons
"Tomorrowland" bombed because it had an uneven plot, a queasy love story between an older man and a robot that was essentially a 12-year-old girl, and couldn't quite decide if it was a grownup movie or a tween movie. You also had to wait for the last few minutes to get out of "downer" mode. (And did I mention the creepy love story essentially between a guy in his 40s and a 12-year-old girl?) "Tron: Legacy" didn't bomb, it just didn't do the kind of box office the Maus Haus wanted... partly because a LOT of the marketing was along the lines of, "You waited 30 years so here's your sequel, guys!" as opposed to, "NEW MOVIE! NEW MOVIE!" There was also the problem that Tron was such a minor character that he could've been eliminated completely without major impact on the script... and if I remember, he's only "redeemed" (red back to blue) as he's apparently falling to his death.
C'mon, Disney -- a little common sense and some good scriptwriting would go a long, long way....
Nob the Knave you program it to be a 12 years old girl?
Yeah well Disney isn’t known for making good movies outside of their princess style ones and animated ones
@Nob the Knave "How is a robot also a 12-year-old girl? I assume you haven't seen the movie and will tell you that the robot character, named Athena, was played by and looked like a 12-year-old girl.
And one should point out that George Clooney was actually in his fifties, mid-fifties, not his forties. So we're talking about a love store between a guy in his fifties, albeit George Clooney, and a robot that looks like a 12-year-old girl.
I have to admit, it was a little strange/creepy.
@Nob the Knave Whether it was meant to be or not, people still saw it as a love story between Clooney and a 12-year-old girl. Why... because that's what they saw, that's what it looked like, and it was a bit creepy.
TRON uprising animation was cool as fuck. I guess most people don't like cool stuff.
It may have looked cool, but the story was lacking.
wrong dude the story was amazing!!
Hanniffy Dinn I like show, but I wasn't a fan of the animation style. It was hard to get around the strong dark shadows on every character, it seemed off. If the animations was different, then i would have watched it more
more like Star Wars rebels?
Funny part is that TRON: Ares is filming right now
It was worth it for that dope daft punk ost
Flynn Lives!
🙏🏾
What a shame. And what a lame excuse by Disney blaming it on being sci-fi when they spent so much on the new star wars films. At least give the rights to another studio to complete the trilogy.
We need to demand another movie while Jeff Bridges is still around!
@Victor Vieira the dude abides
It's a damn shame.. The last Tron movie was really good.. I liked it more than the original.
I LOVE both movies but the sequel was more enjoyable and is something I could probably watch numerous times over and over..Must be those god tier Daft Punk tracks.
wish they would release Tron Uprising as a blu-ray collection - the show was really good!
I say the the disc wars scene along with the bike wars scene was the best action part and the ending was the saddest yet amazing part
They forgot the most important reason. Disney has merchandised the hell out of their princess line to girls and have been trying to do the same for boys. That all changed with the purchase of Marvel and Star Wars, they no longer needed anything else. I wish they would continue Tron but I'm not holding my breath.
Just one sentence: THEY BOUGHT STAR WARS!
Captain_Starducks And they never should have.
Now they go to ruin another of our favorites. I hope im not the only one who absolutly hated the porgs being brought in.
Rigna Tetris yeah, one of the many unnecessary additions
how did they mess it up?
Omg true
I'm watching tron tonight
chevy same because I just saw this vid
tron is the best movie
And something happened.. U got in... Haha I got in... Theme plays
I'm gonna go watch it again for the second day in a row.
We just got the blu-ray copy we ordered in the mail today! 😁📺💿 I can't wait to watch it! Tron Legacy is so effing underrated. I can't stand what shit it got, and how poorly it did at the box office. The special effects were amazing, everyone did great in their role, and the soundtrack & atmosphere were PERFECT. 🤦🏻♀️😩 WTF is wrong w/Disney?! They take chances on stupid crap like Tomorrowland, or will make another dumbass Alice 'N Wonderland movie (the sequel was atrocious - even worse than the 1st remake before it), but they won't give the world of Tron, Flynn, Qorra, etc. a chance?! 😤🤬 Screw 'em!n
the Lego Tron set sold out in my Lego store multiple times
It was a sucker getting my hands on that thing
I want to see Keanu Reeves in a TRON movie.
I like Star Wars and Star Trek, along with The Matrix and Tron.
Tron Legacy is one of my favorite movies and the soundtrack was so so good but I hope Disney stops playing and makes a sequel
EndlessCero they got Star Wars so they don't need Tron
I loved the Cyberpunk-Themed Tron Legacy movie, hell, it even showed me something which I am going to Programm in my own game: A cyberpunk themed big city with decent neon spots all over the place and futuristic transport options and glowy mystic-cult robes all around the streets.
Damn Disney for their nonsense.
TengokuNET late I know but I don’t think tron fits cyberpunk.... it’s close yes but I don’t think that describes tron right
the soubdtrack fit the world very well also. holds the mood well. daft punk did a good job
I will never give up on Tron. I will continue to watch both movies and listen to the scores until the day I die.
If only daft punk could make the soundtrack again if there ever will be a third movie ;-;
it's all about the money...
Minhaj Khan well you NEED to make a profit to continue creating films.
Minhaj Khan which irritates me.
And if you make something most people aren't interested in and won't spend money on, what's the point of continuing? It takes a lot of different ideas for one to really stick. Tron just wasn't one of them.
Look, I know most of you are underage. That's just RUclips comments. Y'all don't understand how business works, especially all the hard work, time, and money that goes into movies. This is a lot of people's jobs, and if they don't make a profit, they would've wasted 4 years, hard work, and possibly cause their company's stocks to plummet. Yeah, this is Disney. A company with a seemingly endless amount of cash, but they didn't get that cash by being reckless.
Rune
The movie made a profit though. Sadly the margin just wasn't enough for Disney.
Tron legacy was amazing its in my top 10 all time movie list .. soundtrack was incredible,
Paul Christopher soundtrack was mesmerizing. it's the best soundtrack ever.
Super saiyan swoley same here...
star wars and tron have the only soundtracks worth listening to
Alien Covenant soundtrack is pretty good though.
I absolutely loved this movie, and still watch it again and again to this day, heck I was listening to the soundtrack in my car just this week. Seeing it in IMAX 3D blew me away with all the visuals and the whole lighted city of the Grid is like a dreamworld to me. I wish they'd make it into a real city kind of landscape at a park or something, I'd even take an End of Line Club. Just everything about the movie I loved, and then you throw Daft Punk with the soundtrack on top of it!
Fortunately, it's been announced Tron 3 is in the works. If anyone wants more Tron, the animated series with Elijah Wood is really good and its on Disney+ and takes place in the Tron 2 era as a prequal. Sadly though, the Tron animated series was canceled with no resolution.
It's not cancelled, it's just in limbo state
@@sugaryheaven4089 lol well hopefully thats true and they decide to bring it back for Disney+
