The new Tron: Uprising animated series premieres on Disney XD tonight.
I watched the free prologue episode Beck's Beginning and I loved it - everything from
the stellar voice cast and fantastic art style to the "Rebels vs Empire" storyline
appealed to me - and I'm really looking forward to the series.
You can view the prologue episode here. And here's some more cool stuff...

Free preview of the First Episode of Tron: Uprising shared by Disney XD.
Series premiers June 7th on Disney XD. Not sure how long they will keep the free preview available.

Here are some neat character animation tests.

Wow - the backgrounds feel both epic and oppressive and the characters designs are very reminiscent of Peter Chung's style (Aeon Flux, Phantom 2040) so this is pushing several of my Retro fave buttons.
