Plot

edit

When Litwak'sArcadecloses, thevideo gamecharacters leave their in-game roles and socialize via apower stripcalled Game Central Station. Wreck-It Ralph, the villain ofplatform gameFix-It Felix, Jr.,is frustrated with his assigned role. After being excluded from his game's 30th-anniversary party, Ralph decides to win a medal, convinced that it will earn him respect. Upon learning that thefirst-person shooterHero's Dutyawards medals, Ralph sneaks intoHero's Dutyand obtains a medal after getting past insectoid monsters known as Cy-Bugs.

Ralph accidentally launches himself in anescape shuttlewith a Cy-Bug inside and crash-lands inSugar Rush,a confectionery-themedkart racing game.With Ralph gone, his game is labeled "out of order", putting it at risk of being unplugged. Fix-It Felix, Jr. himself leaves the game to find Ralph, allying with Sergeant Calhoun, the heroine ofHero's Duty.Calhoun tracks the Cy-Bug, as Cy-Bugs behave as avirusonce outside their game. Felix worries Ralph will meet the same fate as Turbo, the protagonist of the racing gameTurboTime,who grew envious of a newRoadBlasterscabinet's success and invaded it, resulting in both games being unplugged.

InSugar Rush,racer Vanellope von Schweetz steals Ralph's medal and uses it to buy her way into the nightly race that determines which characters will beplayablethe next day. King Candy, the ruler ofSugar Rush'sworld, forbids her to race, as she is aglitch.Vanellope promises to get the medal back if Ralph helps her win; he helps her build a new kart and teaches her to drive insideDiet ColaMountain. Meanwhile, Calhoun and Felix arrive inSugar Rush,where they fall into "Nesquik-sand",work together to escape, and begin to fall in love.

King CandyhacksintoSugar Rush'scodeand retrieves the medal, giving it back to Ralph. He claims that if Vanellope becomes a playable character, her glitching will lead toSugar Rushbeing labeled out of order and unplugged, and Vanellope, unable to leave the game due to being a glitch, will die. Ralph decides he cannot allow Vanellope to race and destroys her kart. Meanwhile, Calhoun abandons Felix when he unintentionally reminds her of her late fiancé, who was eaten by a Cy-Bug. Felix is imprisoned by King Candy's assistant, Sour Bill, while Calhoun discovers that the Cy-Bug has multiplied exponentially.

Upon returning toFix-It Felix, Jr.,which has been evacuated, Ralph notices an image of Vanellope on theSugar Rushcabinet. He returns toSugar Rushand interrogates Sour Bill, who reveals that King Candy damaged Vanellope's code. King Candy's edits to the code also have ensured no one but himself knows Vanellope's true role. However, if Vanellope completes a race, the game will reset itself, deleting all of King Candy's changes. Ralph frees Vanellope and Felix from prison. Felix fixes Vanellope's kart. Vanellope belatedly enters the race, but the Cy-Bugs emerge and start destroying the game. Calhoun, Felix, and Ralph help evacuate the characters.

Unaware of the Cy-Bugs, King Candy attempts to ram Vanellope off the track, causing them both to glitch. The glitching unmasks King Candy as Turbo, who secretly took overSugar Rushafter surviving the unplugging ofTurboTime.Vanellope flees as Turbo is devoured by a Cy-Bug, which fuses with him into an insectoid monster. As glitches cannot leave their games, Vanellope is unable to evacuate. Remembering fromHero's Dutythat a beacon will draw and destroy the Cy-Bugs, Ralph battles Turbo who stalled him and collapses theMentosroof of Diet Cola Mountain, creating a glowingeruptionthat lures and destroys Turbo and the Cy-Bugs. Vanellope rescues Ralph and crosses the finish line. The game resets, revealing her as the true ruler ofSugar Rush,though she keeps her glitching ability, considering it an advantage.

Ralph returns to his game, content with his role as a villain and finally respected by his fellow characters. Felix and Calhoun marry, and Ralph watches Vanellope becomeSugar Rush'sfavorite character.

Video game cameos and references

edit
The "Bad-Anon" villain meeting features various well-known video game characters, includingBowser,Clyde,Doctor Eggman,M. Bison,Neff, andZangief.

In addition to the spoken roles,Wreck-It Ralphcontains a number of other video game references, including characters and visual gags. The video game villains at the support meeting, in addition to those mentioned above, includeBowserfrom theMariofranchise,[1][11][19]Doctor EggmanfromSonic the Hedgehog,[1][19]and Neff fromAltered Beast.[22] Additionally, thegame cabinetof the fictionalFix It Felix, Jr.arcade gameis stylized to strongly resemble the cabinet ofNintendo's original 1981Donkey Kongarcade game,[23]with Ralph and Felix taking similar poses asDonkey KongandMario,respectively. TheHero's Dutygame is a reference to the hugely successfulfirst-person shootergamesHaloandCall of Duty. Characters fromQ*bertare shown as "homeless" characters and later taken in by Ralph and Felix into their game (Q*bert also speaks to Felix at one point using the signature synthesized gibberish and word-balloon symbols from his game, called Q*bert-ese).[18][24]Scenes in Game Central Station and Tapper's bar includeChun-Li,CammyandBlankafromStreet Fighter,[19][25]Pac-Man,Blinky, Pinky, and InkyfromPac-Man,[18][26]the Paperboy fromPaperboy,[22][27]the two paddles and the ball fromPong,[28]Dig Dug, a Pooka, and a Fygar fromDig Dug,[28]The Qix fromQix,[26]Frogger fromFrogger,and Peter Pepper fromBurgerTime.[29]Lara CroftandMarioare also mentioned.[30]

Additional references are based onsight gags.The residents of Niceland and the bartender fromTapperare animated using a jerky motion that spoofs the limited animation cycles of the sprites of many eight- and sixteen-bit arcade games.[31]King Candy uses theKonami Codeon anNEScontroller to access the programming ofSugar Rush.[32]Throughout Game Central Station is graffiti that includes "Aerith lives" (referencing the character ofAerith GainsboroughfromFinal Fantasy VII),[27][33]"All your base are belong to us"(anEngrishphrase popularized from the gameZero Wing), "Sheng Long Was Here" (referencing an April Fool's joke around a made-up characterSheng LongfromStreet Fighter), and "Jenkins" (a nod to the popularLeeroy Jenkinsmeme fromWorld of Warcraft).[34]There is also a reference to theMetal Gearseries when Ralph is searching for a medal in Tapper'sLost and found,finding first a Super Mushroom from theMariofranchise,[35]and thenMetal Gear Solid's "Exclamation point" (with the corresponding sound effect from the game).[31]Mr. Litwak wears a black and white striped referee's shirt, a nod to the iconic outfit ofTwin GalaxiesfounderWalter Day.[31]One of the songs in the credits is an original work fromBuckner and Garcia,previously famous for writing video game-themed songs in the 1980s.[31]The Walt Disney Animation Studios opening logo is animated in an 8-bit pixelated fashion,[36]whereas theWalt Disney Picturesclosingproduction logoappears in a glitched state, a reference to thekill screenfrom many early arcade games such asPac-Man.[34]The high score on the main screen ofFix-It Felix, Jr.,120501, refers to the birthdate ofWalt Disney,December 5, 1901.[37]

Production

edit

Concept and story

edit

The concept ofWreck-It Ralphwas first developed at Disney, in the late 1980s, under the working titleHigh Score.Since then, it was redeveloped and reconsidered several times: In the late 1990s, it took on the working titleJoe Jump,then in the mid-2000s asReboot Ralph.[38][39]

DirectorRich Mooreat the 2012San Diego Comic-Con

John Lasseter,the head of Walt Disney Animation Studios and executive producer of the film, describesWreck-It Ralphas "an 8-bit video-game bad guy who travels the length of the arcade to prove that he's a good guy."[24]In a manner similar toWho Framed Roger Rabbitand theToy Storyfilms,Wreck-It Ralphfeatured cameo appearances by a number of licensed video-game characters.[24]For example, one scene from the film shows Ralph attending a support group for the arcade's various villain characters, including Clyde fromPac-Man,Doctor EggmanfromSonic the Hedgehog,andBowserfromSuper Mario Bros.[24]Rich Moore, the film's director, had determined that for a film about a video-game world to feel authentic, "it had to have real characters from real games in it."[40]Moore aimed to add licensed characters in a similar manner as cultural references inLooney Tunesshorts, but considered "having the right balance so a portion of the audience didn't feel they were being neglected or talked down to."[41]However, Moore avoided creating the movie around existing characters, feeling that "there's so much mythology and baggage attached to pre-existing titles that I feel someone would be disappointed," and considered this to be a reason why movies based on video game franchises typically fail.[41]Instead, forRalph,the development of new characters representative of the 8-bit video game was "almost like virgin snow," giving them the freedom to take these characters in new directions.[41]

Before production, the existing characters were added to the story either in places they would make sense to appear or as cameos from a list of characters suggested by the film's creative team, without consideration if they would legally be able to use the characters.[40]The company then sought out the copyright holders' permissions to use the characters, as well as working with these companies to assure their characters were being represented authentically.[40]In the case of Nintendo, the writers had early on envisioned the Bad-anon meeting withBowseras a major character within the scene; according to Moore, Nintendo was very positive towards this use, stating in Moore's own words, "If there is a group that is dedicated to helping the bad guy characters in video games then Bowser must be in that group!"[27]Nintendo provided feedback that Bowser's teacup should be held a certain way.[42]Nintendo also asked that the producers try to devise a scene that would be similarly appropriate forMario's inclusion in the film. Despite knowing they would be able to use the character, the producers could not find an appropriate scene that would let Mario be a significant character without taking away the spotlight from the main story and opted to not include the character.[27][43]Moore debunked a rumor that Mario and his brother characterLuigiwere not included due to Nintendo requesting too high a licensing fee, stating that the rumor grew out of a joke John C. Reilly made at Comic-Con.[30] Dr. WilyfromMega Manwas going to appear but was cut from the final version of the film.[44]Overall, there are about 188 individual character models in the movie as a result of these cameo inclusions.[40]An earlier draft of the screenplay had Ralph and Vanellope spending time going around the game world to collect the pieces for her kart forSugar Rush,and at times included Felix traveling with the pair. During these scenes, Ralph would have lied to Felix regarding his budding relationship with Calhoun, leading eventually to Ralph becoming depressed and abandoning his quest to get his medal back. At this point, a fourth game world,Extreme Easy Living 2,would have been introduced and was considered a "hedonistic place" between the social nature ofThe Simsand the open-world objective-less aspects ofGrand Theft Auto,according to Moore.[45]Ralph would go there too, wallowing in his depression, and would find happiness by gaining "Like It" buttons for doing acceptable actions in the party-like nature of the place. Moore stated that while it was difficult to consider dropping this new game world, they found that its introduction in the second half of the film would be too difficult a concept for the viewer to grasp.[45]They further had trouble working out how a social game would be part of an arcade, and though they considered having the game be running on Litwak's laptop, they ultimately realized that justifying the concept would be too convoluted. Line art sketches and voice-over readings of the scene were included on the home media release of the film.[45]

Animation, designs, and camera work

edit

The film introduced Disney's newbidirectional reflectance distribution functions,with more realistic reflections on surfaces, and new virtual cinematography Camera Capture system, which makes it possible to go through scenes in real time.[46]To research theSugar Rushsegment of the film, the visual development group traveled to trade fair ISM Cologne, aSee's Candyfactory, and other manufacturing facilities. The group also brought in food photographers, to demonstrate techniques to make food appear appealing. Special effects, including from "smoke or dust," looks distinct in each of the segments.[47]

Music
