OMFG! Disney is making an animation for Tron? I’m really geeking out here (Yes I know I saw that alot, but I am), I’m a huge Tron fan and have been ever since I watched the original Tron movie when I was a child.
Tron: Uprising takes place prior to the events of Tron: Legacy though there isn’t any connection (So far) from the vents that occurred in TRON: Evolution and yes TRON: Evolution is considered part of the Tron canon. The show will be centered around a program named Beck who ends up becoming the computerized version of John Conner and leads a revolution that will encompass the entire Grid.
Still there are parts of the trailer that don’t make any sense. For example if this takes places before Tron: Legacy then Tron is actually Rinzler. However Beck is supposedly trained by Tron himself, but how is that possible if Tron = Rinzler? Who knows, but I’m sure it will all flesh out, well at least I hope so.
Tron: Uprising will also be voiced by quite the line-up, including; Elijah Wood (Beck), Mandy Mo0re (Mara), Emmanuelle Chriqui (Paige), Bruce Boxleitner (Tron/Rinzler), Fred Tatasciore (CLU), Paul Reubens (Pavel) and more. Quite the star studded line up for an animation series, seems Disney is going all out for this.
Tron: Uprising airs on DisneyXD this June!

Damn, I really need to get my leg up on my Saturday Morning cartoon article if you’re already touching upon TL. As I’m going to address in my article, I think the confusion in canon is mostly because like most of Legacy’s spin-offs, this is just another attempt to cash in on the Tron name through a different audience and will only be canonized if it’s successful. I’m surprised that Evolution is still canon, seeing how sorry it did. Considering the redesigns and focus on original characters, I’m calling a slight re-boot on this corner.
The show reveals that Tron didn’t become Rinzler right after he was attacked by Clu in that flashback. He was damaged and managed to get away. We have yet to see how he became Rinzler.
