One of Walt Disney World's monorail trains single-striped paint job has been replaced by the image of a motorcycle set against a blue background on the front cab -- with a shimmering, yellow trail of light that extends the length of the train. The ad display is part of the Walt Disney Co.'s early marketing campaign for Tron: Legacy, the big-budget sequel to the 1982 cult classic that will serve as the company's winter-holiday movie release this year. The ad has split hardcore fans.

it's not Tron unless Bruce Boxleitner is in it.

What a non-issue IMO!
I vividly remember seeing TRON at the theater when I was 13.
The film broke twice during the first 10 minutes of the movie, which I never experienced before or since.
For such a technologically advanced style of filming, it was just awkward sitting with everyone else in a silenced theater twice in a matter of 10 minutes.
DejaVuNitro, surely you've seen a Tron vintage arcade game. There are two different arcade boxes, the original, with four different "mini-games", and the disc tossing game, which was one of the first, if not the very first, arcade game that one sits inside of. Both of those games were very different from other arcade games, which made them extremely popular.
I wasn't lucky enough to see Tron in theaters, but I owned it on VHS. It's cheesy at times, but still a great flick.
Tron was the first film to use computer animation, if I recall correctly. That, combined with other special effects, really gave Tron a unique look. From the looks of the preview, the new Tron movie looks even better.
Because our technology has changed, the Tron story is very outdated. I always wanted to see a Tron story taking place in modern times. I'm pretty excited for the new movie.
And if Disney wants to advertise the new movie with a moving billboard that travels around half of Disney, good for them. They want this franchise to take off, and this is a good way to make people think about Tron.

99% would not get it.
Before you can be older and wiser you first have to be young and stupid.
Why wouldnt a person get Bit Dave?!? If they watched the movie, it should be fully understandable? Yes = 1 or no = 0 :)

Just so long as they don't try to sneak a Lilo or Stitch in there, I'm okay with it.
Ugh.. Like how they shoe horned them into the actual monorail speech for a while?

Confession: we liked the Stitch bits of the monorail spiel.
