<\/a>Let’s call it ‘Tron courtesy of Pixar.’ Before I get to the good news, I can’t help but note the irony:<\/p>\n

When John Lasseter was a young animator at Disney, he was shown the lightcycle sequence from Tron. This is one of the moments that he attributes to his early fascination with emerging CGI<\/span> technology.<\/p>\n

Add Ed Catmull, Steve Jobs and a small community of visionaries, and you’ve got a Pixar. So, it’s interesting that the folks behind Tron: Legacy are now asking for help from the team up in Emeryville — some of the same people that were inspired by the original 1980s cult classic. <\/p>\n

Entertainment Weekly is reporting<\/a> that Pixar’s Brain Trust was happy to lend a helping hand. Brad Bird, Michael Arndt and couple of other notable figures were shown a rough cut of the highly anticipated sequel\/reboot in order to strengthen the script for June reshoots. <\/p>\n

"Certainly being able to have an open dialogue with our formidable partners [at] Pixar… is really interesting to me." said Tron: Legacy producer, Sean Bailey. We all know what a few notes from Pixar can do.<\/p>\n

This is what I call a collaboration, unlike… never mind. I was already hyped for Disney’s big Winter release, but today’s news has me even more excited!<\/p>\n
