I just checked Wiki and surprisingly there is 15-20 minutes of CGI in Tron. Basically anything that contains a vehicle (light bikes, tanks, recognizers etc) or anything that contains a patterned computer background.
If I remember correctly, Tron was refused any kind of animation Oscar because they used computers and that was considered cheating.
Those flying vehicle things are CGI. That’s why it blew my mind. I thought those were real models and then post processed, but they’re fully computer generated.
It’s more like animation than CGI, really. It looks great.
I think the only real CGI was the bike scene, with the background grid.

Nice, thanks for checking. That’s cool stuff.
