3d movies: tron

At the time, I worked with some of the people who did some of the effects from Tron.   
The solar sailer was completely computer generated.   The light cycles
were computer generated as well.  I have no specific information, but I can't *imagine*
why the light cycles would have been hand colored.

Among computer-generated 3d movies; there have been numerous examples at Siggraph
over the years, some really stunning.  The best of the lot, in my opinion, is
the 3d version of "Knickknack" (the one about the Snowman )
