Crossword Clue: Disney's digital-world film
Here's the answer to the Disney's digital-world film crossword clue, with an explanation and where it has appeared.
Definition & answer: TRON
The answer to "Disney's digital-world film" is TRON. Tron runs 4 letters — 1 vowel and 3 consonants — opening with T and closing on N. In a grid it fills a 4-square slot whose letters are each shared with a crossing word, so the intersections do a lot of the heavy lifting when the clue itself is tough.
Origin & meaning
'Tron' is Disney's 1982 sci-fi film set inside a computer, notable for its pioneering use of computer-generated imagery. A sequel, 'Tron: Legacy,' followed in 2010.
Common usage
You'll see TRON in grids regularly — its 4-letter, 1 vowel shape is exactly what setters need to bridge trickier entries. When one intersecting letter is already in place, especially the T or N, TRON tends to fall fast.
Crossword trivia
