The SAD Downfall of Tron: Uprising

Tron: Uprising is the unfortunate story of a really well written, animated and performed show that sadly was cut short before getting to show off everything it could offer. Connecting some of the dots between the first Tron movie and Tron: Legacy, Tron: Uprising is a stylish animated series that uses all of the slick looks that the recent movie had to offer all in some of the best looking animation of the 2010's. Let's look into how rich with lore this series was and sadly, what happened to the show in the end.
Want to dive into the Tron video games that came out around the same time as Tron: Legacy that also filled in some more gaps in the lore of Tron? Check out my video on Tron: Evolution and the other games that all came out at the same time here on my other channel: • WAIT... Remember Tron:...

I consider both tron Uprising and Motorcity sister hows because they both star a protagonist rebelling against an evil tyrant and trying to bring hope to people to fight for their freedom.

[@zenebean]

It's weird how some properties never seem to take hold despite having both incredible visuals and an engaging story. Also, de-rezzing always looked so much scarier than if the characters bled like humans. It gave a sense of glass-like fragility that made the fights more intense for me.

[@draco6349]

I've always felt this way too! Seeing a character crumble into pieces always gave me a much more visceral reaction of discomfort than regular gore ever did.

[@scottjs5207]

I think the scariest was how the Paige backstory episode, that entire Island was destabilized simply because they crash landed on it... mass murder part aside...

[@naieve7774]

@@scottjs5207 it’s really gut wrenching because Paige is literally pushed into a role that oversees the same thing. How unimaginably destructive is it to realize that you changed to spend your time aiding what corrupted you? That Paige is made to see those background “crashes and mistakes” as normal protocol.

[@utopian4769]

Alot of these properties don't take hold because most newly made stuff is barely marketed or advertised well, so no even one knows they exist outside of cult followings. Heck my memory of this show is hanging on by a thread due to glimpses of Uprising on Disney XD, Kingdom Hearts and Tron Legacy. Big companies like Disney rarely ever have faith in media that isn't mainstream. The only reason they greenlight and throw money at certain things is in the slim hopes they catch lightning in a bottle and because their multi billion dollar revenue means that they can afford to fuck up and start all over again, so there's no risk.

@@I_was_a_Bullfrog Yes

[@thewolfofwallstreet627]

Agreed. I think what mostly held it back was because it had to tie into the movies. I think if "Tron Legacy" was never made, and the cartoon was allowed to exist as it's own thing, then it would've done a lot better imo. And assuming the series would've gone on for at least a few more seasons if that was the case, then they could've easily ended the series leading up to a new "Tron" film, that the animated series set up.

Tron's hairstyle is shown when he takes off his helmet during the deleted love scene with him and Yori (it's still described in the novelization and a QnA panel where his actor calls it "post-coitus hair" LMAO), it makes rewatches hilarious knowing it's just... lurking under the helmet the whole time

Though the franchise may have all but a finger in the grave, this show and the franchise might be one of the most influential pieces of media to me, not the most, but up there.

[@JJ-gq1tt]

It’s possible that disney is trying to revive tron, as far as I’m aware we’ve gotten a teaser for a game coming out later this year

[@dankdio2887]

ive been planning this comment for a while. We need to bring this show back. Ending one of the most unique and high quality shows of the last decade on a cliff-hanger and then discontinuing it is so mind blowingly stupid to me. If you go to the tron uprising subreddit you can see fans waiting for some new uprising news for over a decade. With posts as early as last year asking if they should give up hope because of the lack of news or reports. But now is the time. With the reveal of the new lightcycle roller coaster and the news for the third tron movie being released, (as well as some new weird tron based puzzle game apparently coming out?) it seems as if disney is trying to slowly revive tron. I urge anyone brave enough to go on all forms of social media to create an uproar. Show that there are still thousands of people interested in this series. Create accounts, fan pages, edits, posts literally just saying "Bring Back Tron" (especially uprising). There are 3 possible outcomes from this, either 1) Disney hears this and trys to respond in some way, which is a big +. 2) disney is already working on new tron projects and they will see this and possibly tease something as a form of responding. or finally 3) disney does nothing and at least we tried. Please, anyone who is able to do this, I beg of you, show that tron hasn't died yet.

Напишу на родном языке. Я была одержима им очень долгое время и иногда даже переслушиваю саундтреки фильма и мультсериала. Причём с каждым пересмотром я подмечала в мультсериале новые интересные детали, а стиль определил мои вкусы. То, как в моей родной стране было тяжело его смотреть в 2012 году. Это отдельная история. Я заходила на американские пиратские сайты, чтобы посмотреть версию на английском, спустя 3 дня появлялись субтитры, затем спустя неделю выходил фанатский дубляж серии и уже через пол года официальное подразделение Диснея сделало русский дубляж. Они просто ждали, когда выйдет весь сериал. И я не помню в какое эфирное время он шёл. Но помню, что посмотреть мне его на канале дисней не удавалось.

This is one of those shows that really shows you how much more action matters than word. We can say we love something all we want, but if we can't properly support it, that praise means nothing. What really stinks is that broadcast television and streaming services actually make supporting these great shows a lot harder than it should be. The networks and streaming services demand unrealistically high ratings in an unrealistically short amount of time. Often times with minimal or misplaced advertising. Think about it, how many shows do you never know about until you randomly see something about it reblogged, retweeted, or talked about on youtube? Like, entirely too often. I haven't seen a proper TV commercial in years, I don't know what's on Netflix until I turn it on and see what their featured thing is.

[@shadowleon659]

Still haven't forgiven Disney for cancelling this show.

[@SuaveEli]

One season isn’t enough 💔

[@teazen_tea]

I will also the way they treated Tron as a *charecter* was FANTASTIC, not only with the idea of a charecter as a symbol but tron as a charecter with a disablity. His journey is treated with such respect and its so realistic, it's honestly hard to watch some episodes as a person with a disablity. The fact that they can make a charecters journey genuinely hard to watch shows just how good this show is at charecters. I seriously can't praise it enough The moment where Tron refuses his healing tube. When Tron collapses. It's all so.... I mean it sucks that they got rid of it at the end, bit of an ablist trope but honestly whatever they do SO much with the rest of his charecter that it's fine.

[@Funky_Player2]

I totally agree! A trope I've come to really hate recently is the one where scarring is used for aesthetic purposes. I.e The Punisher S2, Jessica Jones S2, The Owl House, ect, where the depiction of scarring or some form of disfigurement is usually just surface level, like it feels added just to make a character look 'jaded', or 'pretty' even. But TRON: Uprising avoids this entirely! Tron's scars aren't just a visual design choice, they're an integral part of his character's state of being, an underlying health condition that he needs constant medical treatment for.

[@smugsneasel]

The idea they explored later that Tron himself wasn't some squeaky clean, great influence was so interesting.

[@RedRobinTitan]

I really appreciate that you ended up touching on this show. This series was... well it was everything for me back when it released. It was such a great sci-fi experience that really touched on heroism, legends, and revolution in ways that would eventually become far more common in later works (such as Into the Spider-Verse, Star Wars Rebels, and The Clone Wars' final season, among others) and it really highlighted just how impactful these stories would go on to be for people in some more recognizable franchises than Disney's often forgotten sci-fi gem. Also, absolutely agree about the soundtrack (to both the show and Legacy) as the music here is outstanding and really needs to be heard to be believed. It just oozes style in so many ways.

[@sithlord2225]

This one hurts, you know what's even worse? I'm from Latin America and I remember seeing the trailers on KZbin and being super hyped and the show never even made it here!

The problem with the other Tron: Legacy era works is that they were still under the “We are very strictly family friendly” Disney, before they bought Marvel and Star Wars. Uprising was the only one that wasn’t afraid to tackle heavier topics and dive deeper into characters, and that’s what gave it the depth that Legacy lacked.

[@dramallamarama5300]

I remember trying to catch this show anytime it was on, it wasn’t until years later when I was rewatching the show online that I realised I had missed an *entire episode*. I was such a massive fan and stayed up way too late on school nights to catch the latest episodes, yet I still missed one due to the nightmare that was it’s schedule.

I was BIG into the Tron hype! I saw Legacy four times in theatres, had two identity disc toys, had the album and remix album, had a few action figures, and even cosplayed as a program at San Diego Comic Con. This show was a fantastic addition to the franchise. One thing you didn't mention is how hard it was pushed at the theme parks! At Disney's California Adventure, the backlot area (now Marvel Land/Avengers Campus) would turn into a huge Tron-themed nightclub and dance party at night. There were face characters, bars, amazing theming, DJs, setups to play Evolution, and an entire 80's garage arcade. It was an amazing event and lasted almost two years.

I've been a big fan of Tron since I was a kid and this show is one of my favorite animated shows of all time. It is a shame how abruptly this series ended and how little faith Disney has in this IP. One thing I will say though is this is the series that inspired me to write and direct a motion capture action-packed movie that is like a more mature take on Tron in terms of the genre and setting, but not too mature like Cyberpunk, with an original story, original characters, a larger scope of scenery, and more unique world building elements. If there is so little interest in a franchise like this in terms of the larger audience and Disney doesn't want to take risks and go forward with something as great as if not better than this series was, I'll do it myself.

It would be great if Disney rented out it's license to the Tron franchise to people who actually want to do something with it so that we could get these threads resolved. I really want to see Paige's redemption, Beck's future, the uprising start, Tesler's defeat, Pavel's comeuppance, and Tron's eventual capture. Also want to know more about that vision Beck and Cyrus had and what it means, more Cyrus would also be good.

The design of that world, music, atmosphere it's great and very creative. Also, I like in general concept of transporting to virtual reality/games in movies or any kinds of media.

So much left unsaid, untouched, and even left behind as the scant few other references and installments outside of the realm of film and TV get disregarded as non-canon (here's looking at you, 2.0). That being said, what we got is still so beautiful and bursting with life and potential. I've been working on writing a tabletop RPG based on Tron and including a lot of the ideas and concepts from every facet into it to mesh with the gameplay. I wanted to do it especially because there's so much room for interpretation in the history of the world, while there's enough already there thanks to the official and fan-made material. It'll probably be another niche way to interact with the world of Tron, but I think it deserves the chance and then some. Great video, by the way. Can't blame you for getting that collector's edition of Evolution, though. I missed out completely due to some difficult times in my personal life, but I would have killed to get my hands on that had I known!

I just started rewatching tron uprising after rewatching tron legacy, we need more tron made by competent people that care about the story of the grid.

SO GLAD YOU COVERED THIS!!!!!!

[@SomeGirlNextDoor1993]

I was obsessed with this show when it was airing, I'm so glad you made a video about this series. I feel like a lot of people have no idea what it is.

I just finished re watching it last week. Good timing.

Honestly, once again Disney shows us how gloriously they can mismanage quality shows. We saw it with The Owl House, and in some part DuckTales. While I can partially understand their apprehension, with sales being the one thing that makes the world go round, but it's such a shame to see how poorly Uprising was treated. Bill Wolkoff went on record saying that Disney just didn't know how to market the show. He also stated that if Uprising had released 5-6 years later, in the age of streaming, it probably would have seen much more success. Not to sound like a clichéd hipster, but it truly was beyond it's time. Even in it's age, Uprising still holds up stylistically. It was a shame that it couldn't come to fruition, or at least tie together the plots left behind by the cancellation.

We NEED a Tron Uprising revival so they can at least finish one more season and end the story

Been waiting for this one. Loved this show and it turned out way better than it needed to be.

[@Andrematt]

I absolutely LOVED this show. Look at all the names and talent involved, the themes and quality. It's a crazy that it never got a second breath. The constant moving time showings killed but it had so much promise that I can't help but hope that someday the stars will align and people will look back and see the value this show had and renew it somehow. One can always hope.

The visuals, the story and the VOICES. Everything about this was well done.

[@Mankey619]

This is one my most favourite Disney animated series I’ve seen when it came out 11 yrs ago when it first aired. It such a shame that it never gave much more deserving attention and got cancelled after the first season was done.

[@FTChomp9980]

I did watch a bit of Tron Uprising on D+ when I had it seriously the show is so underrated deserves more love. And how Disney treats Tron is so unfair!

[@Alistair_McCullom]

This show needs more love, it is the perfect Saturday morning cartoon

[@lyokomajor]

I hate that this didn't go past Season 1. They gave us Tron being cured at the end, and even had him posing as Rinzler at the start. And we don't get to see how this conflict plays out. How Tron finally gets captured and reprogrammed. Or even how Beck is defeated. Damn it, Disney.

[@dayumitsskai]

I just finished watching Tron Uprising 5 mins ago.. and I can't believe there isn't a Season 2 😭 I just found out it got canceled.... Nooo... we need more Uprising ✊️

[@teneesh3376]

Like with most things, lack of advertising killed the show and not the show itself. It could have been something more, but I don't remember any advertisement from it. I didn't know about the show until much later. Only knew about from the nostalgia critic. But that was years after it was cancelled

[@ryanthunder3247]

i just rewatched this show as a 23 year old and i had fun watching all of it

[@macIain]

Loved this show totally underlooked, would love to see it come back.

[@TheDeviantDon]

We need a season 2 for this show one day. This show had a great story, and I still watch this show when I’m able, or try to. This show really stuck with me, and season 2 for Uprising would be just amazing. I genuinely would love to see how the events lead up to the movie, or even retcon things, either way, I’d be excited. And I’m happy there will be a Tron movie, just hoping Beck’s story doesn’t get forgotten.

[@luker.6967]

Thanks I needed this closure haha.

[@milesmorales-intothespider9861]

This series was truly something else. Loved every episode of this gem.

[@SkyeWriter0780]

So glad to see this in my recommended. Hoping we can spread the word. Tron Lives

[@caustickrana_5629]

I feel like I’ve been waiting a decade for a review of Uprising this good!

[@DustinBlaise]

I started watching T:U last week since I ran out of shows to binge and decided to give it a chance. I immediately got hooked. Loved the art style, the lore, the characters and how well it all fit and gave answers to some Qs of the Grid like what happens if you lose your disk or how did CLU build such a huge army in a short time. I then watched the final ep which I didn't realize it was at the time. Seeing Tron cured, the Uprising finally begin and CLU's army entering the city, I was thinking "this is about to get insane" and then the end followed by no next Ep or Season. Talk about one heck of a cliffhanger. I regret not seeing it sooner and I wish and hope they make at least a final season to wrap it up like they did with the Star Wars: Clone Wars series.

[@pricemaxer9736]

I love tron legacy its so underrated no idea why people hate it

[@dave5194]

Really? Haven’t met a single person who says they hate it, most just don’t even know it exists

[@ursidae97]

I was literally just thinking about the world of Tron today for other reasons. How did you post this on the day I was doing that? I haven't thought about Tron in a while now

[@benpasterski5106]

One of my all time favorite shows growing up. I got very sad when it ended while I wanted more. Torn Upraising is sadly in a gray area, not cancelled but not renewed either.

[@roseclaw13]

I remember this very vividly and I loved the characters and story
