One last one that I didnt catch the first time was that during the flashback they never show Clu actually strike Tron with the disc...he just thrusts it toward Tron and it cuts to Flynn's reaction. In the scene in front of the portal when Clu discovers he has Quorra's disc and not Flynn's he recoils the disc and appears to almost kill Flynn (and in the same manner as he did to Tron in the flashback) but instead he smashes the disc into the ground. Seems like that's what he did during the fight with Tron as well.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I have notice the Rinzler sound appears in the flashback as the camera is on Flynn right after CLU appears to strike Tron. We may never know if or where CLU hit TRON

actually i believe the artists put hidden mickeys in the movie and challenged Joeseph and others to find them. i dont know them, but am wondering if someone like jay west might be able to get the scoop in an interview...

In that case, nice summary (nevertheless I'd still just change 'created for' to perhaps 'used in' or 'seen within', just to be more precise, or less potentially wrong =)

"Yeah. The "created for" part may have been a bit of a leap; But, I don't feel bad about it as the logo served absolutely no purpose and had no meaning in the film. Whereas, we got a nice clean explanation for it, though it may have been nothing more than an unused cinematic element.
Regardless... I've never seen a "stylized" or "looks kinda like" hidden Mickey.

Actually, it was mentioned elsewhere here, though I can't remember where or in what thread - the logo wasn't created for the ARG; the logo was used in the ARG. Had to do with production schedules and whatnot. It's not a hidden mickey, no, but it's not specific to the ARG.
OTOH, the manner in which it's presented in the film (8 horizontal on top) does lend itself well to being seen as a hidden mickey.
So while the logo itself isn't specifically a mickey, and wasn't created for the ARG, it could still be considered a hidden mickey due to its orientation.
But I digress First hand confirmation from Kosinski or someone on the inside would be optimal...

Neat! Ok - same geometric shape as the desktop puzzle, indeed appearing to be yoshimoto cubes, but not the geometric shape of the neutral bit. =)

also, when the arena fireworks start with the wide view, look to the left side of the screen where one of the fireworks burst out a bit shaped image.
