The Disney movie Tron (USA, 1982) was the first major motion feature to fully utilize computer-generated (CG) animation. The movie's setting – inside a video game – was ideal inspiration for the fledgling CG companies; indeed, the most effective and memorable sequence in the movie is the "lightcycle" race, created by computer companies Triple-I and MAGI (both USA).
