Tron Animated Series Announced Nov 5, 2010 10:32:51 GMT -8

Months ago, I read reports that Disney had a Tron animated series plan that depended on the performance of Tron: Legacy in the box office. Now it looks like the movie making/breaking in box office won't matter, because Disney announced an animated Tron series scheduled to premiere summer 2012, on Disney XD.

No, "XD" isn't just an emoticon. That's seriously the name of the channel.

Here's the announcement.

Tron is making the leap to TV. With the release of Tron: Legacy a few weeks away, Variety reports that Disney is producing a new animated series, Tron: Uprising, which will premiere Summer 2012.

Airing on Disney XD, the series will be executive produced and directed by Charlie Bean (Samurai Jack). The voice cast will include Elijah Wood, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Mandy Moore, Paul Reubens and Lance Henriksen, with Bruce Boxleitner reprising his role from the films as Tron.

Tron: Uprising will be proceeded by a previously announced Disney XD 10-episode Tron "microseries", airing fall 2011.

END OF LINE.

Seems like they're really bringing in some big guns for this show.

Hopefully it isn't painfully dumbed down, like a gigantic portion of the shows on disney channel currently. :/ No offense to anyone that likes them.

He's been in some pretty beefy, big box office movies. I'm kinda surprised they got him. Then again, I haven't seen him in anything in a while...

Elijah Wood seems to be doing a lot of voice acting for movies lately. I don't know why he doesn't have more live action roles; he's a good actor, IMHO.

Yeah, it would be nice to have an actual cartoon on Disney XD that doesn't rely on outlandish slapstick and other crap to appeal to kids.
