Tron/Tron:Legacy props from the Disney Archives (Spoiler free)

[GuntahKela]

My friend, Steve, hosts a weekly web-based show featuring Disney Archive subjects. For the last few weeks, they have focused on Tron, featuring props and costumes. Their last episode features a look at the new disk:

Tron Legacy:

Excuse the campiness of the videos. It's Disney, after all. BTW, Steve is the one who came up with the Tron-monorail idea, early in the year.

These videos rock. The orignal helmets are so fun to see in real life.

I capped a bunch of photos from the original TRON video.

The rest are here-

If your friend Steve has any more photos, I'd kill to see them.

Steve is a member here. But, with a growing family and his Job at Disney, I don't think he checks in here, often. Too bad, since he has got some incredible access to the archives and busy sound-stages.

BTW, that is the same room I visited were they kept a bunch of other cool Disney stuff, such as the robot from black hole, a full Rocketeer suit and display rocketpack, Power Ranger helmets, POTC, etc.

I noticed in some of the other videos they posted that a bunch of "Life Aquatic" props were on dispay on a shelf in the background.

Pretty cool!

Too bad that he is so busy now. I wish his video series would be a regular segment.

They are. They have a new segment every week. Sign-up to their channel and Facebook page.


I'm surprised no one else, here, cares about this thread, with TRON being all over. I don't care for classic tron, at all, yet the props shown were very insightful.

Guntah, you vids are cool and very appreciated, it's so interesting to see, what effort went into Lagacy to create new and yet well known iconic props...

Re: Tron and Tron Legacy props (Spoiler free)

Cool! I thought they mentioned that being the last show?

If not, I'm ready for more of their videos!

Sorry G,
I really loved these videos. Meant to post a thanks, and got sidetracked.

Super clear video, and camera angles replica builders would pay for.
:thumbsup

Re: Tron and Tron Legacy props (Spoiler free)

So should we start a separate thread for spoiler props? There's one at the end of the movie that I need, like right now.

Don't worry about it. It's just that I was beginning to wonder if everyone have moved to a cooler Replica prop forum, or something :lol

Here's a bunch of caps from the Legacy video.

The closeups of the ID Disk are really nice looking. INteresting texture variations on the different parts.

It's cool to see the Toy Disk next to the Real prop.

According to this article, both names apply to the helmet. It's just that the Europeans call it XR:

Aye you're right, I just checked on that.
