DISNEY PARKS : ↳ Minnie Mouse's TRON costume at the TRON Lightcycle Run Media Event

tron lightcycle run during fireworks 🎆

[imaginative-joy]

I finally got to ride TRON: Lightcycle/Run at Magic Kingdom and determined it was one of the coolest things I've ever done with my life. Now I'm itching to get back into the Tron aesthetic and did a Quorra sketch. I haven't done a cel-shading style in a long time!

(Anyone else miss Tron: Uprising? Taken from us too soon...)

This was a overlay in  Anaheim from I believe 82’ until the end of the People movers run (when it turned into the disastrous Rocket rods- funnnily enough there was a Tron idea of racing cycles around tommorowland that wouldn’t went on this track. It was one of their initial ideas and potentially how we have lightcycle run today) . Aside from needing a serious oil job from all the squeaking, there is a charm to the OG people over, I’m also jealous it goes through star tours!

Now the Tron portion occurs midway during one of the tunnel portions of the ride. Automatically you can tell what budget their on, the voice isn’t very robotic (compare it today to the train at Disney world where a siren comes on in the tunnel before approaching Tron).

You get digitized in the same exact shot from the film, down to the dial up noise creating pretty stellar projections throughout the tunnel, the same beautiful shots of patterns and circuits. It goes into a lightcycle sequence racing and dodging around you— honestly it’s pretty great visually and I absolutely adore how perfect they have the sound?

“You have escaped Tron’s game grid for now Users,” I’m sobbing. Was he trying to run us down??? Hello?? This is especially funny because going into the tunnel it mentions master control and HE is the one mad/digitizing the guests. It’s the computer world of Tron but not his games.

It’s not as cheesy as I thought it was going to be, in fact it’s a great little tribute/advertisement for the movie itself “wasn’t that cool? Go watch it!” Alongside how back in the day the parks had actual arcades within them too. All I’m saying is we still have a people mover at Disney world and a already existing Tron ride… it’d only be fitting… 80s projections and all.

I like how much influence this held on what ultimately became lightcycle run, now of course it’s set In the sequel but the idea dates back to the original. Both the digitization sequence and lightcycle race are pivotal to both films so it only makes sense they’d want a attraction on it.

“Goodbye, Marc.”

And what if I cried, Kevin.

also did you guys hear they’re making an animatronic of walt disney to put into the park and tell you about his life story. that’s weird right. am i the only one who thinks that’s weird.

Disney in the 1930s: Let’s turn Snow White into an animated film to show that animation can captivate and move audiences just as much as live actors and are a valid medium for making films.

Disney in the 2020s: Let’s remake Snow White into live-action so it can finally be a real movie.

Lorelay Bove was an artist I discovered when I came across Disney's Legacy Soundtrack Albums. From that point on, I immediately fell in love with her art. Based on her art, it reminded me of Mary Blair's artistic styles, such as creating a dreamy effect to bring a fairy tale come to life.

1978 EPCOT Center Presentation

Epcot Legacy description:

If you were to ask even the most avid of Epcot fans exactly how many films were produced before the park's premiere, almost everyone would respond quite confidently with a single film. 1966's "The EPCOT Film" although the first*, was only one of several (!) Epcot Films made over the developmental history of the Florida Project. The following is an enhanced & color-corrected print of the 1978 presentation depicting the park midway through its evolution from the City to the Center in what I refer to is as the "Gold Dome" phase. Among the many interesting aspects of this film, is a preamble to the primary presentation of the park featuring a plethora of prototype systems already in use at Walt Disney World, as well as the EPCOT "support programs" such as the shortly-lived Epcot Educational Media division of the studio. Finally, Card's impassioned plea to find solutions to the problems of a very real world establishes a very strong connection between Walt's EPCOT and Walker's Center. From 1978, written by Marty Sklar here is EPCOT Center…

A drawing for Snow White ( Disney Animation ), when she becomes Queen

I HC that after she and Florian got engaged, she lets her hair gradually grow and loves to style her long hair in intricate hairstyles

And Snow White, I speak for so many Disney fans when I say this - I'm so sorry that those part of the remake garbage has done your legacy so wrong.

I can't believe I think this....

Disney seems to be the least innovative with the 2d/3d blend animation.

Wish kind of hurts to look at.

Still excited to see it, but I can name 10 other studios that aren't The-Mack-Daddy-Disney-Animation-Studios with better looking blend animation.

This is a religious experience for me.

All my money will go to the gift shop.
