Disney-mania at Comic-Con



So yesterday was the day that Disney unleashed all of their magic on ComicCon in San Diego. Seems to me that Tim Burton's eye popping "Alice in Wonderland" has caught the attention of most people. Which is of course, fitting when you take into consideration the history of Disney's classic animated film of "Alice" and the success that Disney & Burton have had before. Another title Disney brought to ComicCon is this winters holiday spectacular from Robert Zemeckis & Jim Carrey, "A Christmas Carol." During a Q&A session a fan asked Zemeckis if he'd ever film a sequel to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" The crowd responded with cheers supporting the idea. "I can neither confirm or deny. But I will tell you this, if that ever does happen, the 2-D animated characters from the movie will remain 2-D," That sounds to me like we can expect another Roger Rabbit adventure in 2013. But the news I was geeked out about was the release of the teaser trailer for TRON: Legacy. At last year's ComicCon Disney stunned those in attendance with "just finished test footage" for TRON 2.0. The crowed was stunned because for the most part no one even knew that Disney was moving forward with TRON 2.0. Fast forward to 2009 and last years "test footage" is this years teaser trailer. Most people outside of those who attended last years ComicCon had never seen this trailer. There were fuzzy bootleg cell phone video's of the 2008 footage but nothing that looked this good! I also found out about this TRON: Legacy tie in, It seems that there is a group of people on the internet who think Kevin Flynn the creator of the TRON video game is still alive.
