Tron: Uprising won’t premiere on Disney XD until June 7th, but the entire first episode of the new animated series is available to watch online, right now. Disney’s pretty confident that’ll be enough to hook you for more. Watch and decide if you’ll tune in for episode two…

Disney’s soon to unveil their next adventure in the Tron universe. It’s an animated series instead of a movie, and that might seem disappointing to anyone hoping for Tron 3, but after you watch the show’s new trailer I think you’ll be a lot less disappointed.

The best thing about the upcoming Tron: Uprising animated series may be the music which, while not exactly Daft Punk, seems to be trying to maintain the techno-awesome feel of Tron: Legacy.

Here’s the latest footage from Tron: Uprising. It looks good…
