The technique can lead to results that range from the painful to the sublime, and in cases like this Tron redux by French filmmaker Freres-Hueon; they may even surpass the original. The stop-motion version of the eighties sci-fi hit is pretty unbelievable, and stacks up favorably to the relatively dated special effects in the real thing.
