By looking at the AnimaTRON series, you can tell that some people from CalArts' character animation department have caught the Tron fever because they've decided to do a project of their own to pay homage to the movie.
Entitled AnimaTRON, the illustrators at CalArts have re-imagined popular Disney characters by suiting them up in Tron attire. Each character has their own coloured circuitry themed suit fit for Kevin Flynn's digital world. This is definitely one of the more interesting Tron-themed works out there. Doesn't Captain Hook remind you of the captain from Captain Morgan's rum?
