That reminds me of a WarGames-related moment in Eureka that made me chuckle recently.

This new thing looks... a bit meh.
The effects of the original movie may not have aged well, but at least they had a distinct look. The new footage just seems...unrestrained. The fluidity of the visuals don't seem particularily Tron to me, and the actor's-face-superimposed-over-CGI-cartoon look strikes me as awkward. For my money Tron 2.0 did a far better job updating Tron visuals while still remaining true to the concept.
Edit: Also, totally loved Watership Down as a kid, and I was one sissy little boy who got freaked out by everything. Weird, eh?

Apparently it must be continually pointed out that the TRON 2 teaser was released to gauge public interest in a sequel, and thus was created on a relatively small budget and is unlikely to be representative of the final look of the film.

Apparently it must be assumed that a finished film will look nothing like the teaser developed to stir interest in said film.

Maybe it'll be a romantic-comedy.

I don't know about that-- I loved watching things on T.V. like Voltron, Robo-Tech, Ultra Man, and the Beverly Hillbillies.
Yes, but I also watched Knight Rider, Street Hawk, Small Wonder (!), and Automan (!!). Robo-Tech was ace, actually. Served as my introduction to all things anime.
And reading everyone else's comments here, it looks like I'll have to go huntin' around for a copy of Watership Down.

I watched Robocop- all three movies- when I was about 11 or 12. No qualms.
I was far more disturbed by The Amityville Horror. Oh my god that movie freaked me out.

The trauma scars I gained from that movie still run deep. But on a good note, it apparently desensitized me to everything else. I watched Robocop, Aliens and Poltergeist at a slightly older but still tender age, and loved every second of those movies.
I think with Watership Down, the fact that I associated cartoons with much lighter subject matter back then, and the surreal way it was presented, combined in such a way to haywire out my tiny little mind. I mean basically it was like watching Bugs Bunny and other cute cuddy characters suffer and die in a stark, realistic fashion. For a 6 year old, that's horrible.

Years ago I used to make my sister and her friends cry by singing Bright Eyes :ebil:

I approve.
