This video was shown to Disney
Executives in early 1981; it
is what convinced them to go
ahead with the leading edge
movie 'TRON'. It was a
compilation of different
programmers from the company
called Triple I (Information

way ahead of its time in many
ways, CGI (Computer Generated
Imagery) was still brand new
at this level and most people
had never imagined computer
graphics of this complexity.
Even though 'TRON' was not a
commercial success, it helped

a way that is taken for
granted today. Super computers
of that era were used to
create the graphics (PDP-10,
Cray)
