Even though Tron holds a special place in the hearts of nerds everywhere, the games that have tried to build on the fiction of the visionary 1982 film haven’t been successful at capturing its glowing neon energy.

One surprise announcement that broke this afternoon at Comic-Con–because, apparently, it had been finalized barely hours before–is that Fantagraphics Books has made an agreement with Disney to publish the complete run of Floyd Gottfredson’s “Mickey Mouse.” Gottfredson drew the “Mickey Mouse” daily comic strip from 1930 (a few months …
Shortly after Tron’s Comic-Con panel, moderator Patton Oswalt introduced a teaser trailer for Disney’s Haunted Mansion and its director writer/producer Guillermo Del Toro. I guess we know why he can’t do the Hobbit. WTF?!

When is a Pixar movie not a Pixar movie? When it’s produced by Disney-contracted third parties in India, apparently.
