TRON (1982) was definitley a film that went right-over people's heads when it debuted. I remember only three other people being in the huge 70mm theater with me, opening weekend. As you know, it took quite sometime for the world to wake-up to TRON's.
Good post-stuffing, Dale.

What one gets when they cross a Love Motel with TRON
TRON MARS & VENUS (Sailor Moon CO) by yjayr
TRON would make for a neat cross-over universe. ^_^
Thanks Dale (T3 disc dbl-click).

I liked the below black n' blue the best, Svanya. And certainly when the film kicked-into 3D, Daft Punk provided the perfect-track for the TRON transition.
I also recall now that the 1982 original had some controversy surrounding it. And it was regarding the usage of cheap (women) labor for hand-painting the film-frames, in Taiwanese sweatshops. 100s of 1000s worth of hours, running around-the-clock and for months.
The ominous-tone & the devilish n' frightening robots of "The Black Hole" (1979), was also enough to keep many families away from Disney's 2nd attempt at then modern (post-STAR WARS) big-budget Sci-Fi, too. It's amusing to know that even "TRON Legacy" Director Joseph Kosinski, was one of those children that were spooked by a 64-bit, 3-billion-byte (3GB) Maximilian, along with the ship's faceless zombie friends. And of course, we all know he is the prime candidate to helm and direct that remake; however, not anytime soon, if at all.
