Disney really knows how to tease us… Between Tron and Tron: Legacy fits this new animated series – Tron: Uprising. According to Cartoon Brew, the following is a “A promising first look at Tron: Uprising which will begin airing on Disney XD in summer 2012. A ten-part micro-series will precede it this fall.”
Looks like they have a great cast – Elijah Wood, Emmanuelle Chiriqui, Mandy Moore, Nate Corddry, Lance Henriksen, Paul Reubens, and Bruce Boxleitner is back as the voice of Tron himself.
The teaser doesn’t give much away. We sort of know a bit about the time between the movies based on exposition in Tron: Legacy, but this will hopefully fill in the gaps. The animation looks a bit out of place with the CGI, but I’m guessing they’ll work out any rough edges.
So the miniseries will air sometime in Fall 2011 and the series itself will air in Summer 2012 – on Disney XD.
