Tron Production Cels on eBay

One of eBay's great sellers of entertainment memorabilia is the museumofmomandpopculture.  They currently have some rare and interesting original production cells from Tron for sale.

These are wonderful historical pieces since it's unlikely that any other film will ever use this labour-intensive process.  These are high contrast cels that allow for the circuitry patterns to be seen clearly.  Other cels would be composited with hand animation and colouring to complete the frame.

This next one is interesting because it includes two pieces of the composite.

These next two are 12x20 kodalith photos.

The listed prices range from $250-$500 which I think is a little high but they do also have the make an offer option.

The official Tron: Uprising website has some great kid-friendly features.  Unfortunately, the video section isn't available for Canada so I'll have to keep waiting for DVD!

Happy 30th Anniversary!

30 years ago today, an innovative film was released that would forever change the motion picture industry.  Tron's amazing use of computer animation, its unique electronic score and a story ahead of its time make it one of the most important films of the 1980s.

Spinmaster Web Archive

I wanted to post some screenshots of Spinmaster's Tron: Legacy website for posterity.  I'm not sure how much longer the official site will be available!  Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there will be any more action figures available from Tron: Legacy.  We'll have to hope they keep up the good work with Tron: Uprising.
