Tron was more than just a cool movie, it was a hugely influential cultural milestone. This classic film inspired and popularized the idea of 3-D graphics, virtual reality, hacking and computers in general to a mainstream audience. The movie also made computer animation and CGI an art form unto itself. Ironically, the Motion Picture Academy refused to even nominate Tron for a special effects Oscar because the film supposedly “cheated” by using computers for the effects in the movie. Here’s our nominations for the top ten Tron inspired fan art we recognized as the best, followed by a gallery of works that were all awesome but didn’t quite get their initials on the high scores screen.
