I’m fairly certain this was first grade me-they made such an impression!

Recognizer and baddies from Tron: Uprising
"Tron" being cornered by toughs.
I also wouldn't sleep on Tron: Uprising, from Disney XD--aimed for a younger audience--but the cast was off the charts good, the visuals moody and stunning, and the storyline tight.

Guess I'm really going down the rabbit hole on this one:
GLTRON was released around 1998. It was fierce.

Don't forget that the Tron arcade game was a huge hit:

Tron is BELOVED by many. Everyone my age had taped the airing of the movie on the original cable Disney channel during the free weekend. We'd watch it at each-others' homes with a yellow "subscribe to the Disney Channel" chyron every 90 seconds throughout the whole film.

Still playing Expeditions in Siberia, though!
I believe in MN you also need to register with the state to legally officiate--the ULC ordainment is not enough to be official on its own.

A distant call of guitars on the radio. A snapshot of a hilly landscape or a farm, just an hour outside of the city. We can recharge ourselves there.
