The film many people associate with the (difficult) birth of Hollywood computer graphics is Disney's Tron, released in 1982. The effects for Tron were created by a number of fledgling production facilities: III, Magi Synthavision, Digital Effects (of New York), and Robert Abel and Associates. Despite its intriguing and attractive imagery, the poor critical and public response to Tron, as a film, together with some delays and difficulties during production, put a chill on the CGI industry that probably slowed its growth for a time. Indeed, most of the CGI production companies involved in Tron are no longer in business and none are currently involved in computer graphics production.
