The 1982 Tron Holiday Special

Posted on December 24th, 2010 by steve

‘A recently unearthed Christmas classic from 1982, starring most of your favorite Tron characters and laser bikes.’

Finally saw the new Tron movie.

LOVE the production design by Darren Gilford and team, beautiful homage to 1980s design thinking – and the original work of Syd Mead, Moebius and Peter Lloyd.

Makes me wanna thumb thru my old Industrial Design textbook, Ungar’s Rendering In Mixed Media. Wear leg warmers. Rediscover Patrick Nagel.

AND Michael Sheen IS the lovechild of Martin Short (below) and David Bowie.

The first Tron seems so far away.
