^I remember nothing about that, but I only saw the film once. But if so, it just further underlines the discontinuity between the two films.
Tron 3 is coming (and Garrett Hedlund is confirmed to come back)
- Thread starter Mach5
- Start date
Olivia Wilde has tweeted out her thoughts on the cancellation.
That is some quality trollery right there. 
The science of Tron never made sense, but then it wasn't supposed to. It's a cyper-fantasy movie. You may as well ask about the science of the wardrobe to Narnia.
That said, the movie did establish that getting everything from the digital world into the real world took some figuring out.
I got the impression that Flynn wasn't sure it was even possible, but erred on the side of caution by keeping the exit portal out of reach. I mean if he really thought it could be done, he would have tried it himself with Tron or just a simple construct, no? Perhaps he wasn't sure it was even safe, that maybe he was afraid that when the program materialised the rules of the universe wouldn't allow it and the program would either disintegrate or explode in a burst of pure energy and exotic particles that could level a large part of the city.
Either way, Clu had over 1000 cycles to work on the problem.

Christopher have you seen Paperman? It's a beautiful little Pixar short in the style of 2D cell animation. And I agree with you, one a new artform should never be seen as a replacement for another, but this is an industry and it has to do whatever the market wants to make money.
Yes, I've seen Paperman, and I wish it had been done in real 2D, because I can tell the difference. And because projects like it, and all the 2D segments we see as end title sequences in CGI movies or dream/flashback scenes in the Kung Fu Panda films and show, make it clear that animators still really want to do 2D, and are working it in wherever they can get the chance.
Also, I felt Paperman was great up until the last minute or two when

the paper airplanes started to behave in an undeniably sentient manner. I think that pushed the idea a bit too far and took away from the charm of the premise.
As far as Wikipedia can tell me, the only one that's gotten a wide theatrical release was this year's SpongeBob Squarepants movie that used both traditional animation and CGI/live action. There's still a fair amount of 2D animation in direct-to-video movies, notably the DC Universe Animated Original Movies line.
There is an Adventure Time theatrical movie in the works. Blown up TV series like that and SpongeBob and occasional anime films that hit the art-film circuit are about it.
Wow, that's right, they did a new Pooh movie a few years back, didn't they? I barely noticed that. Turns out it was in 2011. Still using Jim Cummings as Pooh and Tigger, but otherwise mostly recast from the TV voices I remember (inevitable for Piglet, since John Fiedler died a decade ago). Hmm, Pixar's Bud Luckey for Eeyore is a fitting choice, but I liked Peter Cullen in the role.
I hear they're developing a live-action/CGI hybrid Pooh movie now. I've said before, if they're going to do a live-action Pooh, I think they should really do live-action -- get the Jim Henson Creature Shop to make puppet/animatronic versions of Pooh and the rest. After all, they're basically Christopher Robin's stuffed animals come to life through his imagination, so it would be perfect.
That reminds me far too much of "The Book of Pooh", which was very cringeworthy, IMO.
I had to look that up to know what you were talking about. Needless to say, something created by the Henson people on a feature budget would look enormously better than that. And it would look less routine than just another bunch of CGI characters.
That'd be very cool! I imagine Henson would love the idea and also enjoy working on it.
Not quite the same, but I'd like to see a Biopic of A.A Milne, similar in scope to Finding Neverland. The story of how it came to be is a fascinating one, and I think it would make for a great movie. There was a TV movie years back, but a big screen version I think would hold a lot of interest.
Ugh, that's a terrible story idea. I'm sorry the film still isn't happening but not as sorry as before if that's what they're going to go with.
Sad. I really wanted a sequel of Tron 2. Sounds interesting.
