[edit ]

Design

[edit ]

The series features an animation style that mixes 2D animation and CGI animation.[16] [17] The look of the series was inspired by Star Wars: The Clone Wars , ThunderCats , and Aeon Flux .[3]

Director Charlie Bean explained "the idea was to create a distinct style for the CG show not seen elsewhere on television or in film."[18] He worked closely with art director Alberto Mielgo, character designer Robert Valley (animation artist for the Gorillaz music videos) and lead vehicle designer Daniel Simon, who was previously responsible for many vehicle designs in the Tron: Legacy feature film, including the light cycles.[19] Mielgo won the Primetime Emmy Award for his art direction in 2013.[20]

In December 2010, it was announced that Elijah Wood, Bruce Boxleitner, Lance Henriksen, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Mandy Moore, Paul Reubens, Nate Corddry and Reginald VelJohnson would voice characters in a television series based on the Tron franchise, titled Tron: Uprising.[6] [7]

Cancellation

[edit ]

On January 14, 2013, producer Edward Kitsis responded to rumors of cancellation by stating, "I don't know what the future [of Tron: Uprising] is now. I know at the present, I can say we need more viewers."[21]
