Tronblr is not ready to hear about Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom of Ice (1983) show that had a Tron segment in it. i cant believe this. wow
The Tron segment shows up at about 0:20, ft. a recogniser set piece and a guard? I can’t find any specifics about what the Tron part of the show actually looked/sounded like, but I found this blurb on the Disney Wiki:
Later, as Mickey and Minnie go off to get Mr. Lito’s ticket, Mr. Lito went to the video arcade. However, he gets sucked into the supercomputer TRON, where he meets the beautiful Computer Guardian and Commander Sark, who seeks to deprogram Mr. Lito, who manages to escape, as the Computer Knight engages Sark in a laser disc duel. Meanwhile, Mickey arrives in the world of TRON to explain what is going on, and the Computer Guardian explains that Mr. Lito went off to the Haunted Graveyard.
(Funny how Sark is in the Tron show, but Tron isn’t! Tron, always being benched from his own franchise since only a year into it’s existence.)
