I still have my Black Hole trading cards. That movie and Tron were the best movies every made by Disney, not including a few choice selections from the Miramax sublabel. I dont think they want nothing to do with those movies, its just that the technologies which are featured are soooo ancient, that modern viewers might just laugh... Black hole was part of the post-starwars era (1979) while Tron was in that burgeoning personal computer era (with other movies such as war games.) on a similar note, Tron was the most killer video game too. Completely revolutionized the game stick controller. I just confirmed that both are now available on DVD currently.

Yeah the bit where the robots arm turns into a meat grinder and starts hacking up the guys chest! that's some sweet action, I think it shocked me as a kid, then again the whole idea of being sucked into a blackhole freaked me too... -i --- dan robitaille <robi@booyaka.com> wrote:
