TRON Uprising – Animation TV Trailer

TronUprising-poster

The world of TRON has become a much more interesting place to be thanks to TRON legacy. After the original film, there was a long period of time that nothing happened in the TRON franchise. There were games, and rumours of games, but nothing really new and exciting. Legacy changed all that, giving us a new world to explore and years of history to fill in too! Now Disney’s animation arm have stepped in to do just that; giving us some of the history of The Grid with a new cast of characters and new scenarios to play out.

Synopsis

The story focuses on an era of the “TRON” storyline that transpires after the popular 1982 feature film and before the story in Walt Disney Studios’ upcoming TRON: Legacy. Its impressive list of artists, animators, directors, producers and digital technicians includes executive producer/director Charlie Bean (“Robotboy,” “Samurai Jack,” and “Powerpuff Girls”); and consulting producers Edward Kitsis, Adam Horowitz (both screenwriters of TRON: Legacy / executive producers of “Lost”) and Justin Springer (co-producer of TRON: Legacy). The series will be preceded by a 10-part “TRON” micro-series launching in Fall 2011 on Disney XD.

The noteworthy voice cast of “TRON: Uprising” includes Elijah Wood as Beck, Emmanuelle Chriqui as Paige, Mandy Moore as Mara, Nate Corddry as Zed, Lance Henriksen as Tesler, Paul Reubens as Pavel, Reginald VelJohnson as Able and Bruce Boxleitner reprising his role as Tron.

Produced by Disney Television Animation, the series follows Beck, a young program who becomes the unlikely leader of a revolution inside the computer world of The Grid. His mission is to free his home and friends from the reign of the villainous Clu and his henchman General Tesler. Beck will be trained by Tron – the greatest warrior the Grid has ever known. Tron will not only teach Beck the fighting skills he needs to challenge this brutal military occupation, but will be a guide and mentor to him as he grows beyond his youthful, impulsive nature into a courageous, powerful leader. Destined to become the new protector of the system, Beck adopts Tron’s persona and becomes the archenemy of Tesler and his oppressive forces.
