Time to indoctrinate the youngsters of today with the sci-fi we grew up with! Before Tron: Legacy even hits theaters, an animated spin-off series is in the works at cable channel Disney XD. Tron: Uprising will take place between the original 1982 Tron movie and the new movie, Tron: Legacy.

Tron: Uprising will feature the voice talent of Elijah Wood (Wilfred, Lord of the Rings), Emmanuelle Chriqui (5 Days of August, Entourage), Mandy Moore (Tangled, Grey’s Anatomy), Nate Corddry (Yogi Bear, United States of Tara), Lance Henriksen (Gemini Rising, Millenium), Paul Reubens (The Smurfs, Batman: The Brave and the Bold), Reginald VelJohnson (Penny, The Bold and the Beautiful), and Bruce Boxleitner (51, Heroes). Boxleitner will reprise his role as Tron in this animated series.

Check out the synopsis of this spin-off animated series:

“The story of Uprising revolves around Beck (Wood), the leader of a revolution in the computer world called The Grid. Tron, the greatest warrior in The Grid, must train Beck so that he can free his friends and family from the villainous General Tesler (Henriksen).”

Look for Tron: Uprising in the summer of 2012. Tron: Legacy hits theaters on December 17th.
