(real quick) Tron Legacy

Tell me I'm seeing this right,

Disney built a Lightcycle...

If you didn't know, Disney is making a sequel to Tron. It was a very good movie, and mindblowing considering it was the first movie to use alot of CG, and it all had to be programmed in LINE BY LINE! Unfortunately it wasn't nominated for visual effects since it was CG.

In a computer, whatever you programmed looked like you, and these programs were afraid of the "users" (us) who were godlike. The MCP (Master Control Program) was trying to take over the world from the Users thinking he could do a better job. Flynn (the original programmer for a game called Space Paranoids, but whose credit was stolen from him) tries to get access to show he programmed it, The MCP finds him hacking and pulls him into the computer. His only ally? his friend's security program named Tron (but looks like his best friend) Oh, and he does has super powers in the computer. Watch it and find out the rest!

I'm guessing the reason they're making a sequel is Kingdom Hearts. It probably re drummed up interest in the movie, they rereleased it on DVD and now...

Anyway, watch Tron, and keep an eye out for Tron: Legacy

His Assets frozen

Okay, This has taken FOREVER but...

I'm BACK!



What's This, from Nightmare before Christmas!

Song by Danny Elfman, and sung by Danny Elfman (he sung Jack) THis shows Jack when he arrived in Halloweentown.

This is one of my favorite movies, it is so fun and kooky! And incredibly time conusming. It took 10 days to film one minute of film. Despite how short (comparitively) the movie is, it is filled with texture because it is stopmotion. This is 3D without being cartoony.

The dolls used were only a few feet high, and sometimes if you watch long scenes you can tell the scale.

Some of the gags from here were worked into Christmastown in KH2.

THe poem that made the movie came from Tim Burton. He was watching a Halloween storefront being changed to Christmas. The odd juxtaposition made him write the poem.

Jack shows up some of Tim Burton's other films, such as Vincent, Beetlejuice, and James and the Giant Peach.

There are a few references to Batman, which Tim Burton had a comitment to direct at the time, in the movie. Can you find them? (they're not in the clip)

The hardest shot in the film is just before this. When Jack reaches for the door, you can see the forest behind him. Meaning they have to make sure nothing made in on accident.

The NIghtmare crew was nominated for best visual effects, but lost to Jurassic Park.
