Disney has tried translate its animated magic to a lot of live-action fantasies over the years. The Tron movies are emblematic of their failures.

Successfully for a movie usually means financial success in addition to critical and audience reviews. None of the Tron movies are successful. All of them have flopped financially.

The only reason the two sequels exist is because Disney is creatively bankrupt. Their trash live-action remakes of all their animated movies have more audience than the Tron sequels.
