What do you think of the Tron pics?

See my comment about probably not even needing leveraging...

Di$ney doesnt care where the money comes from. They obviously dont care if its Tron 1 or 2... as you can see by the release dates being the same time period. The people demanded the original Tron. Disney knew they would, and in their typical greedy & shady style... they took all original DVDs off the store shelves right before the 2nd movie hit. This drove demand for it through the roof, as many ppl wanted to see 1 before 2. Not to mention the nostalgia and desire for Tron 1 fans to want to buy it.
Furthermore, theres much more chance of selling pre-existing fans of Tron1 a pinball machine, rather than the newbies, who probably dont have the money, nor the care to invest in the simplistic and overpriced POS. More sales = more potential income from royalty percentage deals.
IF this were the old Disney, Id say that the chance of getting rights to Tron 1 would have been very slim. But that said, the old Disney probably would have made Tron 2 about 200,000 times better than what was released... and at least the same goodness, if not better, than the 1st movie. That certainly wasnt the case here and now.
The New Disney is a money grubbin pig. Not a happy little mouse. You make the offer to do Tron 1, and they either accept or deny it. Id say they had an excellent chance to get the Original License.
As you can see by the Lack of quality of the """f-artwork?""" on Sterns machine... that they certainly dont care about their IP. The old Disney never would have let such substandard crap fly. They would have forced their own staffs artists to re-work the thing well before allowing some craptastic photoshop hack to tarnish the Disney IP with meritocracy, let alone with absolute garbage.
If this were any other company, I may agree with the points raised. But its not.
Is Uncle money bags $$$, and he has no artistic integrity.

Disney pushed back the Tron Blu-Ray release until after Tron 2 hit theaters because they were afraid people would see it and then not want to see the sequel. You do understand Disney wasn't making money on $75 Tron DVD's off ebay sales from private sellers, right?
Jeff AMN:
In this thread Xiaou2 proves that he has no business sense.
Nor common sense.
RayB:
Someone on the interwebz said that the government bought properties and built empty prisons, therefore it MUST be true!
Xiaou2:
As for Tok comment, it Could be true, but nobody knows for sure. As far as I know, no other Remake has ever went so far as to take DVDs off store shelves.
And nobody knows IF Disney wasnt reselling its bounty on ebay at inflated prices either. Most people dont turn up the opportunity to cash in on easy money.
Disney has a reputation for holding back releases, and taking other releases off shelves for years at a time, to create demand.
