Known Trivia

• Composer Thomas Newman was originally hired to write the score for this film before he was replaced by Henry Jackman.


• Unlike most animated films, the principal actors regularly recorded audio sessions together in the same room, a situation which led to a lot of improvising.


• For the first two months of story development on the film, Fix It Felix Jr. (McBrayer) was the main character.


• Very early on, they considered making Ralph look 8-bit the entire time, but it was deemed he wouldn’t be lovable enough.


• A Nicelander that looked like John Lasseter was designed but didn’t make the final movie.


• About half the film takes place in Sugar Rush, simply because “Vanellope” can’t leave. She’s a glitch in the game and is unable to travel around like Ralph.


• During early production, Disney had Mario and Luigi set to cameo in the film, but were unable to pay the fee Nintendo had requested to use the characters. The character Fix-It Felix seems to borrow a few attributes of Mario: The overalls, accompanied/recycled 1980s ‘Mario Bros.’ sound bytes, and their physical movements such as jumping and spinning (which was used in later games).


• Ralph is inspired by Donkey Kong.


• Sergeant Calhoun was originally envisioned as male.


• Vanellope was inspired by Sarah Silverman herself after reading her memoir “The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption and Pee.”

Plot: A video game villain wants to be a hero and sets out to fulfill his dream, but his quest brings havoc to the whole arcade where he lives. Full summary »  »

Story: Wreck-It Ralph (voice of Reilly) longs to be as beloved as his game's perfect Good Guy, Fix-It Felix (voice of McBrayer). Problem is, nobody loves a Bad Guy. But they do love heroes… so when a modern, first-person shooter game arrives featuring tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Lynch), Ralph sees it as his ticket to heroism and happiness. He sneaks into the game with a simple plan — win a medal — but soon wrecks everything, and accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens every game in the arcade. Ralph's only hope? Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Silverman), a young troublemaking "glitch" from a candy-coated cart racing game who might just be the one to teach Ralph what it means to be a Good Guy. But will he realize he is good enough to become a hero before it's "Game Over" for the entire arcade?Written by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
