Along with Kevinâs loyal confidant Qora (OLIVIA WILDE), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey of escape across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.</blockquote> <object classid="clsid:02bf25d5-8c17-4b23-bc80-d3488abddc6b" width="640" height="275" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab#version=6,0,2,0"><param name="src" value="http://wdmp-wdsmp.rd.llnw.net/wdsmp/TRONLegacy/TR1/Grid_Trlr1_High.mov" /><embed type="video/quicktime" width="640" height="275" src="http://wdmp-wdsmp.rd.llnw.net/wdsmp/TRONLegacy/TR1/Grid_Trlr1_High.mov" autoplay="off"></embed></object> <a href="http://www.disney.com/TRON" target="_blank">via Disney</a> <h4>Related posts</h4> <ul class="st-related-posts"> <li><a href="http://www.majorspoilers.com/archives/34670.htm/" title="TRON pictures begin to appear (March 2, 2010)">TRON pictures begin to appear</a> (0)</li> <li><a href="http://www.majorspoilers.com/archives/26986.htm/" title="Prince of Persia trailer arrives on the Intardwebz (November 3, 2009)">Prince of Persia trailer arrives on the Intardwebz</a> (3)</li> <li><a href="http://www.majorspoilers.com/archives/35584.htm/" title="New TRON: Legacy billboard art arrives (March 12, 2010)">New TRON: Legacy billboard art arrives</a> (0)</li> <li><a href="http://www.majorspoilers.com/archives/32125.htm/" title="New Tron promo pic hits (January 25, 2010)">New Tron promo pic hits</a> (0)</li> <li><a href="http://www.majorspoilers.com/archives/33525.htm/" title="New Toy Story 3 trailer arrives (February 12, 2010)">New Toy Story 3 trailer arrives</a> (2)</li> </ul> Disney sent us the new trailer for the new Tron movie, and it looks very cool.Â Can’t wait to see this in theaters!

http://www.majorspoilers.com/?p=34081 http://www.majorspoilers.com/archives/34081.htm/feed/ 3 In a recent Major Spoilers Podcast, I attempted to give a quick rundown of the crap that went down at the Walt Disney Studios in the late 80s and early 90s that almost had the animation arm of the company shuttered for good.Â My rundown was based on the stories I had heard from those in the know, the books I had read on the subject, and a good dose of personal experience.Â A much better way to find out how the company went from zero to hero can be found in the upcoming Waking Sleeping Beauty documentary. <object classid="clsid:02bf25d5-8c17-4b23-bc80-d3488abddc6b" width="640" height="360" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab#version=6,0,2,0"><param name="src"
