This page contains unmarked spoilers. You Have Been Warned!Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The 52nd animated film from Disney's canon line-up, Wreck-It Ralph is about a villain living in the world of a 1980s 8-bit video game starring Fix-It Felix Jr. (Jack McBrayer) as one of the many machines in an arcade center. Ralph (John C. Reilly) is fed up with being disrespected as the bad guy for 30 years straight, so he sees an opportunity to become a hero within the sci-fi Light Gun Game Hero's Duty featuring Sergeant Calhoun (Jane Lynch). With his simple goal of winning a medal, he unwittingly brings a deadly enemy to another of the arcade's games, Racing Game Sugar Rush, where he meets a "glitch" named Vanellope Von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman) and tries to help her accomplish her goal of competing in a race. Meanwhile, Felix and Calhoun follow Ralph to Sugar Rush to fix the problems he's caused in both of their respective worlds.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Directed by Rich Moore, who was a former director on The Simpsons and later on The Critic and Futurama. It was released on November 2, 2012. Watch the teaser trailer here, which was released during E3 2012. There's also a theatrical trailer and international trailer as well. The film is preceded by the animated short Paperman.A sequel was officially announced at the end of June 2016; titled Ralph Breaks the Internet, it was released on November 21, 2018.

Arc Symbol: The medals reflects/represents Ralph's desires and Character Development. The Hero's Duty medal he achieved through game-jumping represents his selfish need to be loved and respected, while the one given to him by Vanellope as an appreciation for helping her build a car represents his selfless devotion to his friend(s).

No Celebrities Were Harmed: King Candy looks and sounds a lot like old-time comedian/actor Ed Wynn. (Who, perhaps not-so-coincidentally, was involved in several Disney projects in the '50s and '60s. Wynn's portrayal of the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland, in particular, appears to have been a strong influence on King Candy's characterization.)

Instantly Proven Wrong: While Ralph whales on a jawbreaker to vent his rage, Vanellope points out that jawbreakers can't be broken. Ralph cracks it in half before she can even finish her sentence. As Ralph asserts Calhoun that the cy-bug died in the swamp, a swarm of cy-bugs burst out of the ground.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Vanellope von Schweetz's glitching is almost treated as some kind of physical disability similar to epilepsy or even Parkinson's Disease by the other racers. She even refers to herself as having "pixlexia". Also, the racers picking on her and eventually destroying the racecar she made is the equivalent of playground bullying in elementary school. The timing of when she "glitches" also is quite familiar to autistic people, whose autistic traits often come to the fore under the same circumstances that seem to trigger Vanellope's "glitching". Before Taffyta and the other racers wreck Vanellope's cart, they tell her "You're an accident just waiting to happen", treating Vanellope as if she was an unwanted or unloved child. The dialogue from the scene with the Laffy Taffy sounds like something from a bad S&M porno when taken out of context. Ralph is constantly stopped and singled out for "random" security checks by the Surge Protector, even though he is doing nothing wrong (aside from smuggling contraband in the form of fruit, which said guard misses completely). When Ralph is dressed in a Hero's Duty uniform, the guard ignores him. When Felix tells Calhoun about his last sight of Ralph, Felix's dialogue sounds more like it's coming from someone who failed to see the signs of a future suicide.

Cover Identity Anomaly: When Ralph first meets Vanellope, he pretends to be a resident of Sugar Rush, but she sees through this lie immediately because he clearly knows nothing about the world ("Doublestripe break, you doi!").

Tempting Fate: A couple leading right up to the climactic Cy-Bug attack: Ralph, watching the race, says, "Okay, kid. Let's finish this thing without any more surprises." Right as Calhoun makes it to the race track... A few seconds later, after Calhoun accuses Ralph of ruining Sugar Rush by causing the Cy-Bugs to multiply, he says, "That thing died in the Taffy Swamp." Cue a giant swarm of Cy-Bugs bursting out of the stands. When Felix enters Hero's Duty, Calhoun refuses to believe that Ralph made it into the game, stating that "nothing gets past me." We then hear sounds coming from the tower (which Ralph is climbing) directly afterward. During the race in the climax, Taffyta taunts Vanellope, restating that she is "an accident waiting to happen." Moments later, Vanellope ends up glitching in front of Taffyta and her posse, causing them to botch a jump and get eliminated from the race.

Badass Adorable
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_15da4941
comment
Badass Adorable: Felix. It probably helps that he's a Mario Expy. At one point during the punch and hammer gag, he takes on a close resemblance to Mario himself, and his death animation is oddly similar to Mario's death animation in Donkey Kong. Ralph himself, especially once he starts softening towards Vanellope and effectively becomes her big brother. Vanellope is certainly badass adorable as well. Ralph himself describes her as an "Adorable Winner", which is about as close to the phrase "Badass Adorable" as you can get without resorting to potty mouth. Moppet Girl, when she takes hold of the gun controller for Hero's Duty.

Frothy Mugs of Water: Tapper is treated as the local bar, and all signs point to it being the original, un-Bowdlerized Budweiser Tapper, with the original bartender and characters getting intoxicated. Yet a line of dialogue indicates that the beverage served is root beer. Averted with the Niceland penthouse; it has a fully stocked bar and the residents are frequently seen drinking martinis. Gene is drinking one when Ralph returns to his game with the medal. Also, in a flashback with Sgt Calhoun and her fiancé, they're seen with what appear to be glasses of wine.

All There in the Manual: Hero's Duty is an in-universe example. It has an extensive backstory and Calhoun at least has a fleshed-out character, but the actual game is just a light-gun rail-shooter. The first time we meet a character from the game he's having a breakdown over this.

Never Trust a Trailer: In the trailer, there's a marine in Hero's Duty that tells Ralph "Get out of this game buddy!". In the movie, none of the marines or Sgt. Calhoun know that Ralph is in Hero's Duty (they think it's Markowski, the marine that Ralph saw at Tapper) until Felix comes in and tells them about Ralph appearing.

The Cameo
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_1b65dfad
comment
The Cameo: Ralph's villain support group consists of Clyde, Kano, Neff, Bowser, Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, Zangief and M. Bison, a yellow cyborg, Mishaela, and a zombie from House of the Dead. On an added level, Ryu, Ken, and M. Bison's respective voice actors are Kyle Hebert, Reuben Langdon, and Gerald C. Rivers, who voiced the characters in Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter X Tekken. Q*bert appears in the movie, and is the one to tell Felix where Ralph went. He also appears in the Game Central Station with numerous other characters from his game, sadly homeless. They eventually make it back into a certain someone's game. Also in the station are Chun-Li and Cammy, a knight on an ostrich, the Paperboy from... well, Paperboy. and the Paddles and Ball from Pong. Sonic himself appears in a Public Service Announcement at the station, telling everyone to be careful not to die in a game that's not their own, or else they won't regenerate afterwards. He's also visible in a few more places: dancing at Felix's party, seen walking around Game Central Station in two separate scenes (in background shots), Ralph crashes an escape pod into him (causing him to lose some of his gold rings), as a picture on the celebrity wall at Tapper's, seated on Felix's side of the aisle in the chapel at Calhoun & Felix's wedding, and a short sprite-animated scene as part of the end credits. Sonic is voiced by Roger Craig Smith, who has voiced him in the games since 2010. Additionally, many of the movie's dubs into other languages (including Dutch, German, French and Spanish) use Sonic's voice from the cartoons, as the games never received dubs until Sonic Generations. The Celebrity Wall has several others, including Miles "Tails" Prower, Space Invaders, and others. And outside the game cameos, Tiny, the Tyrannosaurus rex from Meet the Robinsons, makes a background appearance in Game Central Station. Some speculate he represents Sauron from Primal Rage. Add Frogger, Dig Dug, and Tapper to the list. The machines in the arcade, among the ones already listed, include Space Invaders, Defender, Dance Dance Revolution, BurgerTime, and even Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The game that triggers the main villain's descent into villainy is RoadBlasters. Skrillex plays a DJ, and contributed to the music. The security guard at the Sugar Rush bake-a-kart factory is Beard Papa. Outside of the visual cameos, some of the sounds and voice actors are cameos themselves. John DiMaggio for instance has a cameo (as Beard Papa). Written on the subway walls (may be difficult to spot): "Sheng Long was here." "Aerith Lives" "All Your Base Are Belong to Us." There are several blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameos, such as the Qix swirling around the laser display at the 30th anniversary party, and the three Pac-Man ghosts other than Clyde chilling in Game Central Station. In one quick shot in the terminal, you can see the dragon from Coryoon.

Visual Pun: When Vanellope is locked up, you'll see several pics of things on the wall of her cell in the Fungeon: a sad clown, a lion, etc. There's also a doghouse, with only eyes showing out of the darkness inside. Because anyone in the fungeon is "in the doghouse". The Oreo guards chanting, "Oooor-REE-oooh. OOO-REEEEEEEEEEEEE-oh!" The duty joke is especially seen on the commercial for Hero's Duty, with that large earthly green triangle as the game's symbol with the title on top. When King Candy has his true identity as Turbo unmasked through Vanellope's glitching, he literally "goes Turbo". This also counts for the Cy-Bug he merges with later on.

The Rival: Taffyta Muttonfudge, an accomplished racer at Sugar Rush, is this to Vanellope. This is only because King Candy screwed up everyone's programming code; it's later revealed Taffyta is actually supposed to be one of Vanellope's subjects.

Green-Eyed Monster: The reason why going Turbo is a bad thing (besides the fact a character in a game that is not their own will not regenerate upon death) is that Turbo, a protagonist of his own racing game, was upset at the attention Roadblasters was stealing from him. He decided to enter that game, which caused glitches and got both games decommissioned. Turbo still hasn't learned from his lesson as King Candy.

Reality Ensues: Ralph tries to earn a medal in Hero's Duty, but being a soldier for a few minutes horrifies him to the point where he begs the player to let him escape. He may have Super Strength and destroy buildings for a living, but the amount of violence he sees in the E-rated game that he comes from is nothing compared to that of a first-person shooting game. As a result of Ralph's actions, the Fix It Felix game is no longer working properly which means it will be unplugged.

Boss Battle: Invoked by Cy-Bug/King Candy/Turbo during the film's climax ("Welcome to the boss level!"). It also helps that the top of Diet Cola Mountain is a large, round, flat venue — the typical shape of a Boss Room in most 3D games — with volcanic-red lighting.

Breaking the Fourth Wall
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_1e7487cd
comment
Breaking the Fourth Wall: In an in-universe example, Ralph does this, in Hero's Duty when he grabs the robot that the player operates and yells his "When did video games become so violent and scary?!" line into its monitor... promptly causing the player to lose the game. Yep, there's a reason why the Fourth Wall exists in this realm. Calhoun even chews him out for it, stating that the first rule of the game is to not interfere with the player. The robot is also kinda pissed at Ralph. During Ralph's My God, What Have I Done? moment in the penthouse, he throws his medal at the screen, causing one side of the "Out of Order" sign on the other side of the screen to come unstuck. The closest to a genuine instance of this trope is a subversion: at the start of the movie and the ending, Ralph seems to address the audience as he narrates the current state of his life. At the end of the first narration and the start of the last one, it's shown he's actually telling his story in the Bad-Anon group.

Stealth Pun: Fix-It Felix Jr. "fixed" Sgt. Calhoun's broken heart. The film's composer is shown during the credits as the top player on a high score list. He wrote the film's musical score. Game Central Station is an outlet strip. From Radio Shack, no less. The first person to use the phrase "going Turbo" is M. Bison, referencing the second Updated Re-release of Street Fighter II called Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting (and how that word was used in other re-releases and ports, like Super Street Fighter II Turbo). Vanellope threatens to execute characters, which exist as code, after she is restored.

Deal with the Devil: Ralph makes one of these with King Candy when he tells Ralph that Vanellope's glitchy nature would make players believe that the game is broken and they would stop playing it, with Vanellope dying along with the game once it's unplugged. When Vanellope gives him a cookie heart medal, Ralph tries to persuade her not to enter the race for her own good; Vanellope calls him out on this when she sees Ralph with the Hero's Duty medal after he promised to help her win the race in exchange for getting it back.

Punch-Clock Villain: How the video game baddies are portrayed; being the villain is their job. Off-duty, they're not all that bad. An in-universe example is Sour Bill, who knows that King Candy had some real dirt on his hands (although he doesn't remember the details), but still serves him unquestionably until Ralph starts interrogating him for answers, and his memories are refreshed at the threat of being licked and devoured by Ralph.

Adaptational Villainy: Zangief of Street Fighter is portrayed in the movie as a bad guy (or, at least, a Punch-Clock Villain). In the Street Fighter lore he's a decent guy — not exactly a hero, but an Unwitting Pawn at worst. He doesn't know about the "Take Over the World" plot that the tournament is supposed to cover for.

Ride the Lightning: All the characters game-jump by traveling through the power cords. Curiously, they exit through the grounding wire, though stylistically it's probably easier to make a door out of that singular connection than the two thinner prongs. (Nerds take note: there is such a thing as power-line networking, where data really is transmitted through the power cords.)

Chekhov's Boomerang
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_21f3e32e
comment
Chekhov's Boomerang: Sgt. Calhoun mentions during Hero's Duty that the Cy-Bugs become what they eat. One of them eats Ralph's gun and then makes it part of its body, using the gun against him. In the climax, King Candy gets eaten by a Cy-Bug, causing the Cy-Bug to become him. Sgt. Calhoun mentions that the Cy-Bugs can be destroyed by a beacon of light just like back in Hero's Duty, which prompts Ralph to replicate the beacon by knocking a bunch of Mentos into Diet Cola Mountain's interior. The beacon lures the Cy-bugs and the Turbo/Cy-Bug hybrid into the beacon, where they are destroyed. The Diet Cola and Mentos volcano in Vanellope's hideout is fired repeatedly: it is used to illustrate the danger of Vanellope's glitch, used to clean up all the Cy-Bugs, and used to force Turbo to his permanent Karmic Death, once he has combined with a Cy-Bug he is forced into it. The unfinished ramp spanning it is then used by Vanellope to save Ralph. The Hero's Duty medal is used to establish game jumping, enter Vanellope into the race, persuade Ralph to believe King Candy's story, and knock down the out-of-order sign to reveal Vanellope's true nature.

All There in the Script
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_222969af
comment
All There in the Script: A large number of minor characters (and one major character) never have their names mentioned in the film itself: Nicelanders Nolan (mustache and glasses), Roy (balding, gray hair, and suit with bowtie), and Meg ("Sweet mercy! Without Ralph, we're doomed!") aren't name-dropped, and several others aren't known to even have names at all. A few of the palette swap Sugar Rush racers' names briefly appear on the Jumbotron but aren't mentioned in speech: Nougetsia Brumblestain, Citrusella Flugpucker, Torvald Batterbutter, and Sticky Wipplesnit. Kohut and Markowski are the only Hero's Duty marines to be mentioned by name. Others with known (but unmentioned) names are Mac and Marco, revealed here. Brad Scott (Calhoun's fiancé in her backstory) is not named in dialogue, given that he only appears in flashbacks and speaks exactly six words. Only his first name is given in the credits. However, there is an interactive Hero's Duty comic that sets up the plot of the game, featuring Brad in a prominent role. And most conspicuously absent: Sergeant Calhoun's full name is Tamora Jean Calhoun. The film never mentions this; she doesn't even give her name to players in the introduction of Hero's Duty. Only the movie's website, art book, and some promotional art display cases at an "Art of Animation" exhibit at Disney's Hollywood Studios ever made this clear. She's only mentioned by name once in the entire movie, where Ralph simply refers to her as "Calhoun" towards the end of the epilogue (and the credits just give her last name as well). There were originally going to be more scenes taking place in Hero's Duty where she would've been properly introduced, but they were cut due to changes in the movie's plot during development.

Black Comedy: There's so much, it almost makes you forget it's a Disney movie at times. The fact that the director and some of the writers worked on The Simpsons, and Sarah Silverman and John C. Reilly are involved, may have something to do with that. In Niceland, Ralph accidentally causes a piece of ceiling to fall on Felix and send him through his death animation, only for him to respawn immediately after. When Ralph wrecks the race-track upon arriving in Sugar Rush, one of the candy-bodied audience members ends up chasing after its own head. Sgt. Calhoun's flashbacks are played partly for laughs, considering she's been programmed with the most tragic backstory ever. In the "Bad-Anon" meeting, Kano expresses his appreciation for Zombie's share by ripping out his heart! For Zombie, it's no big deal. After Vanellope crosses the finish line and resets the game — thus returning her status as princess and letting everyone remember who she really is, what does she plan to do to the racers who were bullying her earlier? Execute them. Calhoun then remarks that "this place just got interesting" with a Psychotic Smirk on her face. Vanellope's just kidding, though. Mr. Litwak has a couple of darkly comedic comments:

Chekhov's Gag: When Vanellope comes into physical contact with other characters while glitching, the other will glitch as well. While seemingly just random the first time it appears, this ends up being useful to unmask Turbo by causing his King Candy skin to glitch. Multiple characters comment on Ralph's bad breath which eventually comes in handy towards making Sour Bill fess up about King Candy's plan.

Lava is Boiling Kool-Aid: Almost literally in this case note Key word: almost. That stuff ain't Kool-Aid, it's Diet Cola. While the main point was the drink's eruptive nature when it reacts with Mentos (Truth in Television due to their particular chemistry), the "molten hot Diet Cola" found in the volcano is also a likely shout-out to this video game trope, especially games like Mega Man 3 and Super Metroid.

Genre Blindness: The Cy-Bugs either do not or cannot realize that they're just game characters. Unusual for the trope, this makes them extremely dangerous since unlike other Bad Guys they don't know when to stop and the only thing keeping them in check is the end-of-game reset beacon. Invoked when Ralph tries to take part in the modern, ultra-realistic light-gun shooter Hero's Duty. The writers mention that the game's world was intended to be a place where Ralph, a throwback to 8-bit 1980s games, would be completely out of his depth, and it shows. The crowning moment is when Ralph tries to rush into the lab, believing it to be a safe haven from the Cy-Bugs, unaware that a lab would be exactly the kind of place where the Cy-Bugs would be coming from.

Cruel to Be Kind: Subverted with King Candy, played straight with Ralph. King Candy tells Ralph that Vanellope becoming a racer could lead to the game world being destroyed and Vanellope dying along with it, Ralph tries to convince her to drop out of competition. When she won't listen, Ralph feels forced to destroy her car and ends up devastating her. Only later does Ralph realize that King Candy is lying through his teeth. He doesn't care for Vanellope's safety one bit, he only prevents her from racing to prevent the others from finding out that she's the real ruler, not him.

comment
Drunk on Milk: Even though it's implied that Tapper serves Root Beer, a few of the characters are seen intoxicated. Specifically, one of the soldiers from Hero's Duty. This is probably because the original Tapper was designed for bars and served Budweiser. The root beer version came later when the Moral Guardians protested a beer-serving game in kiddie arcades.

Nice Character, Mean Actor: In their game, the Nicelanders are the residents in distress in the penthouse that Ralph intends to destroy. When the game isn't being played, they act as snobby Jerkasses towards Ralph, especially Gene. Subverted by Felix, who despite the main character of the film being the embodiment of Mean Character, Nice Actor, is actually the only character in their game who is nice and respectful to Ralph.

Lampshade Hanging: "When did video games become so violent and scary?!" When you have Kano in your movie while parodying First-Person Shooter games, anything is possible. There is also one about the player character in first-person shooters and how every body part except the arms is not visible. In Hero's Duty, the player character is just a robot with arms resembling those of the other characters.

Massive Multiplayer Crossover: Arcade machine characters regularly visit other machines and interact on a daily basis. Characters are advised to be careful when doing this since dying outside of one's own arcade machine is a permanent death. In a slightly meta example, Fix-It Felix Jr. becomes host to various arcade characters out of a job after the events of the film, making it popular in the arcade by players who think it's a retro throwback to old arcade games.

Statuesque Stunner: Calhoun is even taller than Ralph, who's supposed to be nine feet tall. See this pic◊ for reference. Of course, Ralph clearly isn't that tall, otherwise he'd dwarf most everyone at the Bad-Anon meeting (though wider, he certainly isn't much taller than they are), making the height discrepancy a technical limitation of his game (hence why Felix is not much taller than Vanellope). Calhoun's own height naturally comes from the high resolution of her game (relative to the small 8-bit characters) and the various characters she draws from, all statuesque themselves.

Ominous Visual Glitch: Vanellope gets pixelated during her glitching fits caused by King Candy rearranging the game's code to make himself the main character instead of her. She also sometimes causes anyone in contact with her to glitch; this is used to create the big reveal that King Candy is actually Turbo. The end title card glitches in a parody of the Pac-Man "kill stage". The same is done with the end of the Bit by Bit making-of documentary on the Blu-Ray.

Attention Whore: Turbo was the best racer in the most popular racing game in the arcade. When a new racing game steals attention from him, he gets extremely jealous and jumps into the new game just to crash it. Unfortunately, his antics gets both the new game and his own game unplugged. Ralph himself almost repeats Turbo's mistake, though Character Development allows him to avert it in the end.

Trailers Always Lie: The marketing. It's a movie about video games, with tons of cameos, but all the featured games are invented and only Q-bert and Zangief are anything more than cameos. M. Bison has one brief line during the Bad-Anon meeting, Doctor Eggman has no lines at all, and Sonic speaks in a pre-recorded message — all three appear in marketing and even on the DVD cover. They get more publicity than Calhoun! The Bad-Anon scenes featured also gave the impression that somehow, a lot of heroes would turn out to be jerks in their real lives, stamping these poor "villains" down into the dirt. Fix-It Felix Jr. is a great guy, and it is implied that most heroes are. The background Nicelanders, however, really are jerks toward Ralph, and the need for the Bad-Anon support group suggests there's a lot of it going around.

Helmets Are Hardly Heroic
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_33b4e7f
comment
Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: Vanellope doesn't wear a helmet when racing, and her cabinet art doesn't depict her with one either. Only some concept art of her racing outfit shows her wearing headgear. Calhoun spends most of the film helmet-less, even in the climax. However, she and her men all wear helmets during gameplay in Hero's Duty and only remove their helmets after each round of play ends (except Markowski, as seen in Tapper).

Game-Breaking Bug: In a flashback, Turbo's antics crash the Roadblasters game brought in to replace him. Specifically, when he crashes into the player's car, the entire screen goes nuts with errors. As a logo gag, the Disney Vanity Plate at the end of the credits glitches out and becomes a kill screen because of all the characters meshing together, which itself counts as a Shout-Out to the same thing in Pac-Man.

Mugged for Disguise: Ralph needs to get into Hero's Duty to earn a medal, but since Ralph isn't really a bad guy, the space marine helpfully knocks himself out so Ralph can mug him without resistance. Of course, considering his mental state and level of intoxication Ralph may have been doing him a favor. Stealing his underwear and putting him in Zangief's briefs probably wasn't necessary, though.

Wolverine Publicity: Zigzagged Trope. While there is a movie poster that features only the four main characters, others have one of the four surrounded by some of the movie's many cameos. While the film's makers certainly crafted the story first, cameos are highly advertised — the Sega and Nintendo characters are right on the cover when they have very little to do or say. Most watchers expected them to feature far more heavily in the movie than they really did. Even more baffling, the movie's character sometimes isn't even the most prominent character in the poster!note You can view them all here In-universe, this trope sets off the climax. Vanellope is prominently painted on the Sugar Rush arcade cabinet, the one piece of evidence King Candy had no control over covering in his quest for attention, and it's what clues Ralph in to how to make everything better. To gamers, they must be wondering why this raven-haired girl is nowhere in the actual game.

Milestone Celebration: In-universe. The movie begins on Fix-It Felix Jr.'s 30th anniversary. Perhaps coincidental, but Q*bert's cameo appearance in Wreck-It Ralph also coincides with the aforementioned character's 30th anniversary.

You Are Who You Eat: Cy-Bugs become whatever they eat. During Hero's Duty gameplay, we see it demonstrated when a Cy-Bug eats a gun and sprouts Arm Cannons. A Cy-Bug who starts eating the landscape of Sugar Rush becomes candy-coated. In the finale, a glitch-infected King Candy/Turbo is eaten by a Cy-Bug. Ralph then has a show-down with a terrifying glitch-infected King Candy/Turbo/Cy-Bug monster.

Death Is Cheap
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_37fcf16
comment
Ralph, for his part, may be destructive and have a bad temper, which resulted in him inadvertently ruining the anniversary party and abandoning the game to prove his detractors wrong, but he also has plenty reason to be upset. He's been shunned and has lived in the dump for thirty years, and the Nicelanders and Felix never even bothered to ask him how he feels or help out. The destruction isn't nearly as bad as it seems either, since dead characters regenerate instantly and damage can be fixed with a magic hammer in seconds. One could argue that the Nicelanders may have had a point in banning him from this specific party, since characters from other games don't regenerate, though considering that Ralph is an integral part of the game it's hard to excuse not inviting him to celebrate the 30th anniversary of said game. The fact that Ralph has never even eaten cake at all indicates that they've done nothing but ostracize him, which leaves them with no excuse. So it makes sense that at the end of the film every one of these issues have to be addressed by Felix and the Nicelanders.

Fourth-Wall Observer: All the characters know they're in a video game. They have the ability to see the player, by looking at what is essentially the game's "camera". How it's shown differs from game to game: Fix-It Felix Jr. has a great big window in the sky, while Hero's Duty has the computer-screen head of a First-Person Shooter robot on tank treads. The arcade is never seen from inside Sugar Rush, but due to the gameplay it can be assumed it has a similar system to Hero's Duty. With Sugar Rush, it's likely that the camera view is provided by a hovering marshmallow with a TV camera hooked into the jumbotrons at the start/finish line. During the last race of the movie, the camera is shown moving in behind King Candy in the usual way for racing games, as if he was the playable character. No other racers appear to have the same effect, and when seen later from different perspectives, there is no visible camera anywhere near him — though since the race was taking place after hours the "first person racer" would have no reason to be physically present then.

Crapsaccharine World: Sugar Rush. It looks like a bright and colorful candy dreamland, but its characters (especially the racers) are mean-spirited, its ruler King Candy is corrupt, and outcasts like Vanellope are treated like dirt. Ralph himself gets a pretty cold welcome when he first arrives. And with The Reveal, we learn that it is so much worse than that. Lampshaded when Calhoun actually calls the game a "saccharine-saturated nightmare", and Ralph calls it a "candy-coated heart of darkness". When the rightful ruler is restored, it returns to a proper Sugar Bowl.

Time Passes Montage: The opening shows time in the arcade passing as new games are moved in to replace the old, with Ralph's game forming the centerpiece as the popular one that never changes. What really helps sell it is that the Fix-It Felix Jr. machine is sitting right next to a Pac-Man machine, one of the few games you're almost guaranteed to find in any arcade. This also provides justification for why Pac-Man and Clyde appear in the movie and why Clyde seems to be the head of the support group (being among the oldest still around).

Blue Is Heroic: Played with. Fix-it Felix Jr., the Adorkable Nice Guy is dressed all in blue, in opposition to Ralph's red. In the Fix-It Felix game, they're The Hero and the Big Bad respectively. However, the story of the movie itself is about Ralph trying to move away from his role as a villain and trying to become a hero in his own right. Felix, on the other hand, moves to a Lancer role, but without losing any of his heroic traits.

Konami Code: King Candy uses it to gain access and edit Sugar Rush's source code. It is indeed the code of all codes! It should be pointed out that the code is written on a napkin from Tapper's, implying that King Candy is NOT part of Sugar Rush.

comment
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: In an odd inversion, the Cy-Bugs, who, thanks to their simple, mindless, animalistic programming, are incredibly dangerous if they're let out of Hero's Duty. While every other NPC is, at the very least, self-aware and follows the game's parameters, the bugs do not — they are only kept in check by the beacon in Hero's Duty, which recalls and destroys them when the game isn't being played. If they ever escaped, they would never stop consuming and multiplying. Because of this, Calhoun likens them to a computer virus.

Vader Breath: Invoked so that the audience realizes Ralph is hiding in the chocolate pond to escape being detected by the Devil Dogs and is using a wafer snorkel to breathe. Funnily, the sound doesn't come in until after the guards leave the scene, and (obviously) stops when Ralph removes the straw. The sound is identical to that of Darth Vader's breathing as it was made the same way: breathing with a scuba tank.

What a Piece of Junk: Vanellope's new car ends up getting some very sloppy decorations thanks to Ralph accidentally breaking the kart-baking minigame, but she makes it from last place to first place when everyone else had a least a good minute head-start, meaning stats-wise it's probably superior to even King Candy's ride (given how fast she clearly is going when she overtakes him). And when Vanellope learns how to master her glitching, she can Teleport Spam it at will.

Innocent Bystander

comment
Ralph and Gene. Ralph is a large, powerful, imposing guy whose job is to wreck the penthouse, and he's capable of destroying nearly anything. But, outside of gameplay, he's pretty good-natured and wishes that people weren't afraid of him. "Big" Gene on the other hand has a squat stature and blips around with little 8-bit jerky motions that make him entirely non-threatening (both attributes shared by the other Nicelanders, all of whom essentially play the role of Innocent Bystander). However, he at least seems to have a big ego despite the fact that his job is for Ralph to throw him out of a window, and he has no problem getting in Ralph's face to try and intimidate him during the party.

Actor/Role Confusion: Every video game character seems to consider himself and his fellows to be Animated Actors who are off the clock once the lights go out. Except the villains, who are actors like them but are still treated as though they weren't. Seeing a "Bad Guy" is enough to send small-fry scurrying, and things are so bad that the villains have a support group.

Adult Fear: So who wants to have their little sister figure lost in a National/Metaphysical Apocalypse Wow? Ralph certainly didn't, and King Candy preys on his fear to ensure at any cost that Vanellope doesn't race. As with Toy Story 3, being considered obsolete and forced out of work despite being perfectly capable of doing your job is pretty scary.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Ralph is a very decent person with a good heart, but is also selfish and has quite the temper on him. Though he always shows his better nature in time, he initially makes things constantly worse by acting only in his own best interest. Vanellope is a mouthy, self-centered little brat, but she's still very likable once you're her friend and definitely a good person.

Stylish Protection Gear: Despite using the same color scheme as the other soldiers, Calhoun's armor is closely tailored to her body rather than blocky and shapeless, and she usually doesn't wear a helmet outside of active gameplay. Of course, it's not so stylish that anyone would wear it on a romantic dinner date, to a picnic, etc., as Calhoun and her fiancé are seen doing. Given what happened at the wedding this may be justified.

Until Ralph notices official artwork of Vanellope on the side of the game cabinet and returns to Sugar Rush, now determined to get answers as to what's going on with Vanellope. Indeed, this new information ultimately leads to bringing down Turbo's horrid reign in Sugar Rush.

Wham Shot: The shot from Ralph's point of view that shows Vanellope on the side of the game console that leads to the above line. The shot of Vanellope's sparking box of code, meaning a) she is not a glitch like everyone is saying and b) someone (a.k.a. King Candy) intentionally removed her from the game system. Vanellope making King Candy glitch, exposing him as Turbo. Even Ralph and Felix's jaws drop when this happens.

Subverted in the Bake-A-Car mini-game. Despite trashing the set, the resulting vehicle is miraculously functional. Probably helps that this was just the decorative part of the process. It just affected the appearance of the vehicle, which Vanellope (to Ralph's surprise) ends up loving.

 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_50f50a5e
comment
Donut Mess with a Cop: In Sugar Rush, all the non-racer characters are some form of sentient confectionery. This extends to King Candy's two police officers, who literally are donuts. Their names are Wynchell and Duncan, referencing two donut chains. For bonus points, Wynchell is a Long John, a type of donut more commonly found in the western US, where Duncan's has the most locations.

comment
Bookends: The movie starts and ends with Ralph explaining about his game, scenes from that game, cakes for the 30th Anniversary party, and him in the Bad-Guys Anonymous talking about taking it "one game at a time." The movie itself. Starts off with the Walt Disney Animation Studios logo and Mickey Mouse rendered as 8-bit graphics (with a chiptune version of "Steamboat Willie"), and at the very end of the movie, after the credits, when the Disney logo shows up, the "movie" has a parody of the Pac-Man Kill Screen. The film also begins and ends with the same beeping noise. In the beginning, the beeping comes from the Fix-It Felix Jr. cabinet in the first shot of the film, while at the end, it comes from the flashing "Press Start" message right before the Creative Closing Credits start. When the Bad-Anon group says their Bad-Guy Mantra at the start ("I am Bad, and that's Good. I will never be Good, and that's not Bad. There's no-one I'd rather be than me"), Ralph doesn't join in, as he doesn't believe in the mantra's message. It's not until the very end, when he's willing to make his Heroic Sacrifice, that he finally recites the mantra, symbolizing the completion of his Character Development.

Ripple Effect-Proof Memory: When Vanellope crosses the finish line the game resets, reverting all the damage done by the Cy-Bugs. Despite this, everyone still remembers how things were before — no-one's actual memories are reset as you would expect in a resetting computer program in Real Life. This implies that nothing was "removed" but rather their memories were restored and Vanellope was reconnected.

Disney School of Acting and Mime: The film mostly plays this straight, but it also has a rare aversion of this with the Nicelanders, who are animated in a very stilted, mechanical style to emulate the movement of 8-Bit sprites in CGI form. Word of God says the effect was much harder to achieve than it looked, because the Disney animators had been so conditioned to always avoid using this style of movement in their animation.

Driving Stick: The Sugar Rush cars have a clutch; neither Ralph nor Vanellope have any idea what any of the pedals are even called, and Ralph even refers to them as buttons at first. Cue hilarious Training Montage. Ralph's comment on the clutch could be a reference to the handful of arcade racing games that have a physical (but useless) clutch pedal, even when playing on manual transmission. A kid-friendly kart racing game certainly wouldn't dare to force people to use a realistic clutch.

Forced to Watch

comment
Forced to Watch: Cy-Bug/Turbo intends to force Ralph to watch Vanellope be eaten by Cy-Bugs. Big mistake. In an inversion, his Turbo self can only struggle in horror as Bug-King Candy draws itself to a fiery doom. Also a rare non-villainous example when Ralph hangs Vanellope by the back of her hoodie from a tree so that all she can do is watch helplessly as he destroys the car they built together, crushing her dreams in the process.

For Your Own Good: King Candy's explanation to Ralph for his doing everything in his power to stop Vanellope from racing — if she wins and joins the roster, the players will see her glitching, think the game is broken, and it will be unplugged. Since glitches can't leave their own game, Vanellope will be trapped inside when the game is unplugged, and King Candy doesn't want her to die like that. Ralph uses the phrase after this conversation right before he smashes the cart he and Vanellope made together to keep her from racing. Ralph means it. King Candy didn't.

Long Game
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_5ff30573
comment
Played with. King Candy's reasons for preventing Vanellope from racing are legitimate — if people think the game is glitchy, the game will be unplugged. Van being a glitch, she won't be able to escape to Game Central Station like the rest meaning she'll die. Of course, while the sentiment is true (no-one wants a glitchy game, she can't escape and would die, etc.), King Candy has ulterior motives and reasons for stopping her since it would unravel his long con, and he is the reason she is a glitch, instead of himself. Her glitching ultimately turns out to be a (possibly intentional) Good Bad Bug.invoked Also, we see Vanellope outside the game at the end (as well as in the sequel), so she would be able to leave if she raced and finished.

Like all the other guys in the support group, he's just a Punch-Clock Villain.note Incidentally, he may be a reference to the old arcade game Satans Hollow; see It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY" above.

Freeze-Frame Bonus
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_62f9d08e
comment
Freeze-Frame Bonus: Plenty, though you'll be hard pressed to actually see them on the Blu-Ray release (you know, the one that's in HD so you could pick out details more easily) due to an auto-playing "intermission" that pops up when you hit pause (though it can be turned off). A close observation of the Heads-Up Display when Ralph is in Markowski's armor before he goes into Hero's Duty will lead one to notice some text messages Calhoun is making to another soldier about the real Markowski being AWOL in Tapper's. Turbo gets points for mugging to the movie's camera for a split-second, complete with his signature thumbs-up. See for yourself◊. Similary, there are a few shots of the Turbo Time arcade cabinet near the opening that shows that the game was a top down racing game. There are two others that if one pays close enough attention, and/or remembers what Vanellope looks like from the trailer. The first is an early shot (from a different angle) of the Wham Shot mentioned later on down this page, during the 30-year time montage during Ralph's speech during the Bad-Anon meeting. The second is when Moppet Girl is reading the lit-up Sugar Rush placard, if you pause it when you see Taffyta standing in front of her kart, look at the tiny images beside her, more specifically the racer at the left of the top row (closest to Taffyta).

Kids Are Cruel: The racers in Sugar Rush are just plain beastly to Vanellope, who acts like a jerk to Ralph (initially). However, this example is more complicated than most, as the other racers' cruelty wasn't really their doing; King Candy/Turbo messed with their programming code so they forgot who Vanellope was. They're very sorry when they find out.

It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY": Satan insists on the pronunciation Sah-Teen, which hints that he's from Satans Hollow (there was a weak attempt to use an alternate pronunciation to keep the Moral Guardians at bay back in the day; no-one paid any attention). Why have a villain from an obscure bottom-shooter with these legends? Well, the designer would go on to make TRON next.

Fake Memories: Everything the game characters remember about their backstory didn't actually happen; it's just part of their character design. It's specifically noted how, for Hero's Duty, Calhoun was designed with "the most tragic backstory ever". A second layer of fake memories were added to all the Sugar Rush characters after Turbo hacked the game and locked away their official memories so they'd all remember his "King Candy" persona as if he'd always been a part of their game and would think Vanellope, whose place he usurped, had always been a glitch.

Teleport Spam: Vanellope's glitching causes her to randomly relocate a few feet in a random direction. Once she learns how to control her glitching, she can teleport at will, which she uses to save Ralph from his attempted Heroic Sacrifice by glitching around and through an incoming onslaught of Cy-Bugs. It also makes her the game's best racer in the end, because she can teleport through the other racers.

Evil Laugh
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_68068108
comment
Evil Laugh: Turbo breaks out some unending maniacal laughter that could rival the Joker during the climax — which only adds to his creepiness. It's hilarious on a meta level when you remember that his voice actor is Alan Tudyk: "Ha ha ha! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die!"

Subverted by Felix, who despite the main character of the film being the embodiment of Mean Character, Nice Actor, is actually the only character in their game who is nice and respectful to Ralph.

Jerkass Has a Point
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_6b05b601
comment
Jerkass Has a Point: Played with. King Candy's reasons for preventing Vanellope from racing are legitimate — if people think the game is glitchy, the game will be unplugged. Van being a glitch, she won't be able to escape to Game Central Station like the rest meaning she'll die. Of course, while the sentiment is true (no-one wants a glitchy game, she can't escape and would die, etc.), King Candy has ulterior motives and reasons for stopping her since it would unravel his long con, and he is the reason she is a glitch, instead of himself. Her glitching ultimately turns out to be a (possibly intentional) Good Bad Bug.invoked Also, we see Vanellope outside the game at the end (as well as in the sequel), so she would be able to leave if she raced and finished. Also, Mayor Gene delivers a lengthy and hurtful guilt trip to Ralph after Ralph returns to Fix-It Felix Jr. to find the game evacuated and soon to be unplugged. While Gene was the ringleader and most obnoxious of the Nicelanders who dismissed and ostracized Ralph (causing him to leave in the first place), him calling Ralph out on his selfishness and the shortsightedness of his actions is not only accurate, but it quite likely cuts deeper and hammers in his failure more coming from an antagonistic character like Gene than it would have coming from a consummate good guy like Felix. Ralph, for his part, may be destructive and have a bad temper, which resulted in him inadvertently ruining the anniversary party and abandoning the game to prove his detractors wrong, but he also has plenty reason to be upset. He's been shunned and has lived in the dump for thirty years, and the Nicelanders and Felix never even bothered to ask him how he feels or help out. The destruction isn't nearly as bad as it seems either, since dead characters regenerate instantly and damage can be fixed with a magic hammer in seconds. One could argue that the Nicelanders may have had a point in banning him from this specific party, since characters from other games don't regenerate, though considering that Ralph is an integral part of the game it's hard to excuse not inviting him to celebrate the 30th anniversary of said game. The fact that Ralph has never even eaten cake at all indicates that they've done nothing but ostracize him, which leaves them with no excuse. So it makes sense that at the end of the film every one of these issues have to be addressed by Felix and the Nicelanders.

Meaningful Name: Tobikomi, the developer of the film's Original Generation games, is Japanese for "jump into", tying well into the game-jumping its characters embark upon. Wreck-It Ralph wrecks things. Fix-It Felix fixes things. Turbo was a race car driver. Each of the racers in Sugar Rush have one. Sour Bill is sour, as in grumpy. King Candy is the ruler of Sugar Rush a candy-themed environment. He's actually Turbo. Vanellope Von Schweetz: Both names are a play on types of candy as well as Foreshadowing that she's actually of royalty and the rightful ruler of Sugar Rush. Tamora J. Calhoun's name is a parody of infamous female characters in similar-themed gaming genres. See the Shout-Out tab.

Deconstructive Parody: Of video games. Ralph and most of the other video game baddies are nice enough guys who are doing the jobs that no one else wants. After all, who would want a job where all you do is get beat up by The Hero? The movie becomes a Reconstruction into modern gaming by the end. Ralph travels worlds, battles a conspiracy, makes several difficult moral decisions, battles an evil mastermind in a climactic showdown and even pre-meditates a Heroic Sacrifice in the name of saving the one he loves. It's a plot very much like many popular modern games, undertaken by a character inspired by classic gaming.

In addition, the designs of Ralph and Felix differ from Vanellope in that Ralph, Felix and anyone from their game have five fingers when Vanellope and anyone from her game have four. This is also in keeping with the design of the game Ralph and Felix come from, being an '80s Japanese-made arcade game.

Token Romance: The relationship between Felix and Calhoun could have been removed without impacting the movie's main plot at all. The creators said they were paired up mostly because the crew thought they were a funny/cute couple, and because something about Felix's 3-D model didn't work right at first, but putting him alongside Calhoun gave the animators a better sense of proportion.

Colour-Coded for Your Convenience
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_735b4101
comment
Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: According to the film makers, the characters colored venomous green are the ones who are truly evil. Note that Ralph is entirely green during his Hulk-like rampage through the stands. They were going to color Vanellope that way to signify her glitch status until they figured it made her look like a zombie. You can see what she would have looked like with green skin on the sign in the bakery forbidding glitches from entrynote The "green is evil" idea doesn't really hold up, as while the cy-bugs are dangerous and destructive, they are essentially just animals following very simple programming. King Candy/Turbo is unquestionably evil, but is pastel purple and white, or white with red highlights depending on what form he's in. Even when he becomes a cy-bug hybrid, he has little or no green coloring. The only character who even remotely qualifies on both counts is Sour Bill - while his Laser-Guided Amnesia means he doesn't know who Vanellope truly is, he does know that she isn't really a glitch and that King Candy made her that way, and he doesn't do anything to help her or tell anyone else. And even that might be due to his being programmed to be a loyal "Number 2" to whoever is in charge, regardless of how legitimate that authority is. Ralph and Felix themselves may count. Felix is dressed in mostly blue, the color for peace and serenity, while Ralph is dressed in mostly red, the color for intensity and anger. Also, whenever Vanellope glitches, she turns shades of blue. However, Turbo turns shades of red when he is forced to glitch out.

Like Brother and Sister: Word of God says that Ralph and Vanellope are this. It can be seen as a hyperactive little girl badgering her big brother to play with her because she likes spending time with and annoying him and him indulging her because he likes to spend time with her as well even if he is annoyed by her brattish behaviors (like mimicking him). The Volleying Insults is certainly sibling like.

Amusing Injuries
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_78c895c8
comment
Amusing Injuries: Felix has Calhoun repeatedly injure him to attract some Laffy Taffy in Sugar Rush, fixing himself with his hammer after each hit. Ralph gets his fair share during his Training Montage with Vanellope, such as her running over his foot. Vanellope suffers one herself during the Training Montage. She eats the car's dashboard in a crash and loses a tooth. Cue a tooth-spit and big gap-tooth grin! Ralph inadvertently kills Felix when he crashes the party. Fortunately, he can respawn, so no harm done. Killing the guest of honor is quite clearly a serious faux pas, though. Markowski from Hero's Duty screaming like a little girl and knocking himself out running into a wall has to count! Cyborgnote who is quite clearly really Kano ripping Cyril's... Zombie's heart out is treated like a big joke. Given how he's a zombie he probably doesn't really need it anyway.

No One Gets Left Behind: During the Darkest Hour, when Sugar Rush falls to the Cy-Bugs and everyone is trying to escape, Vanellope is found unable to leave the game environment because of her glitching. She remarks I Will Only Slow You Down which only spurs Ralph to attempt a Heroic Sacrifice to save Sugar Rush and Vanellope. Calhoun and Felix likewise stay with her to buy Ralph time.

"L" Is for "Dyslexia"
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_7b228c31
comment
Vanellope von Schweetz's glitching is almost treated as some kind of physical disability similar to epilepsy or even Parkinson's Disease by the other racers. She even refers to herself as having "pixlexia". Also, the racers picking on her and eventually destroying the racecar she made is the equivalent of playground bullying in elementary school. The timing of when she "glitches" also is quite familiar to autistic people, whose autistic traits often come to the fore under the same circumstances that seem to trigger Vanellope's "glitching".

Cultural Translation
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_7d49d74a
comment
Cultural Translation: The Russian dub. Many of the jokes are replaced by something more relatable to former Soviet people, who missed much of the classic arcade era and are more familiar with console and PC games. Due to the issues of portraying a Husky Russkie in a Russian dub, Zangief instead speaks like a stereotypical Georgean: brash and macho. It may also be an allusion to the real Zangief, an Ossetian wrestler. Saitine, instead of complaining about pronunciation of his name, instead says... The "One game at a time" gives way to this brilliant joke: Felix's "oh my land" swearing is replaced with a colorful variety of construction-related expressions (still timid), suggesting that Felix actually knows how to fix things and not just hit stuff with his hammer.

Vague Age: While all game characters are technically immortal unless they die along with their game or outside of it, Ralph looks to be about in his 30s, albeit he's nine feet tall and 643 pounds, Felix and Calhoun seem to be in their late 20s, and Vanellope and all her racing rivals are supposedly about 9-10 years old. The games they come from (and by extension, the characters themselves) have different ages: Ralph and Felix have both been around for 30 years each, Vanellope's game has been around since 1997, making her chronologically 15 years old and Calhoun's game was only just installed a week before the events of the movie, making her the youngest character chronologically.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!: Played straight twice with Ralph, whose antics nearly doom two games, and the consequences of these acts threaten the entire arcade. Played with with Felix. His attempts to escape from prison by hitting a damaged bar with his hammer go about as well as you'd expect from a character called Fix-It Felix Jr. who is armed with a hammer that fixes things by magic. Nice job fixing it, hero.

Pun: The tram from Pac-Man to Game Central Station is called the "Pac-Manorail." Sugar Rush is full of them. From the NesquikSand to the vines of Laffy Taffy, which is attracted to anything they find amusing. When King Candy is shot with frosting and is asked if he's hurt, his response? "No, he just glazed me!" Ralph telling Sour Bill to stick around after he attaches him to a flower full of sticky caramel. The "Fungeon". King Candy also attempts to explain it. The cells aren't even fun; Felix's is plain blank and Vanellope's is actually a really horrific, Monster Clown-abundant, Circus of Fear-esque one. Remember, this is for children. Vanellope stating that she has "pixlexia"note dyslexia. The "Sweet Seeker" power-up.

Oblivious Guilt Slinging: Ralph intentionally does this to get Felix to invite him into the building for the 30th anniversary party, telling Felix he saw some kind of "explosions" over the building and wanted to make sure everyone was okay, until Felix fesses up and admits they're fireworks for the party that Ralph wasn't invited to. Ralph was already having mixed feelings about destroying the kart, but Vanellope giving him a cookie medal that said "You're my hero" made it even more difficult. Ouch.

comment
Commonality Connection: Though he is initially angry that she stole and lost his medal (which he himself "earned" in dubious circumstances at best), Ralph eventually decides to help Vanellope not just because it's the only way to get the medal back, but because her situation is similar to his but even worse — from living in the dump, ostracized by others, to seeing the medal as their means of finally getting their due — and they bond over their shared dreams. It's subtle, but Calhoun first agrees to let Felix come along after he says that it's his duty to fix what Ralph wrecks — something she would definitely understand.

Villain Protagonist: Ralph is this if you take his label as a "bad guy" at face value, though in terms of actual character outside the game he lives in he's not really evil at all and has no malicious intentions at any point in the story. In the Real Life version of Fix-It Felix Jr. however, Ralph is a straight Villain Antagonist.

Mr. Exposition: In an odd, non-verbal sort of way. The girl with the glasses is able to provide the audience with information they'll need by playing Hero's Duty (which starts Ralph on the game campaign and gets some rules of video games explained to him), then dropping by Sugar Rush and being turned away, and then going to Fix-It Felix, Jr. to discover Ralph isn't there. Done later with Felix when he has to explain what "Going Turbo" means to Calhoun. Here, it's justified because Calhoun comes from Hero's Duty and was only plugged in the past few days, which also shows what's at stake if he doesn't get Ralph back.

One-Hit-Point Wonder: Felix is one of these in his own game, as a few loose ceiling tiles is all it takes for him to go through his death animation (and instantly resurrect seconds later). Thankfully, he can take a lot more serious harm when he's in other games (necessary for the escape from the NesquikSand).

Lawyer-Friendly Cameo
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_8e92e125
comment
Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: Kano, of Mortal Kombat: he is never acknowledged by name onscreen, and in the script he is referred to as "Cy-borg". Though permission was gotten, one theory is that the name and character was PG-ified to avoid connecting the kid-friendly movie with a game whose basic principle is inflicting massive bodily harm. Most people familiar with the game would still be able to tell who he is, though (despite him having a cybernetic arm which Kano doesn't have). Mario is referred to only by name and never makes an appearance. John C. Reilly made a joke that the film couldn't afford to pay for the rights, but the filmmakers actually did have permission to use himnote Bowser and a Super Mushroom do appear, at least, and Nintendo is properly acknowledged in the credits — they just couldn't figure out a way to fit him into the story (and, given Mario's iconic status, they felt a cameo appearance wouldn't do him justice).

Art Shift: The ending credits have the main characters moving through various eras of video game animation, though for obvious reasons they don't bother with present-day. This also happens in the film proper when Ralph moves from Pac-Man back to Game Central Station, not to mention his own game in the beginning. Overall, all of the characters (except those from Hero's Duty) are much more realistic and better-defined in their "private lives" than on their own game-screens; in fact, Felix's adoration of Calhoun's "high definition" is somewhat puzzling, since he's not exactly 8-bit himself when he's off his own screen. However, there are some small details that differ between 8-bit and HD characters offscreen from their games. Even though both of them have 3D models, Felix has a fairly uniform color scheme and minimal shading, whereas Calhoun has a more realistic skin texture (even freckles, if you look closely) and her armor has dents/scratches in it, among other things. This distinction is lost when viewed from the credits, however, as everyone is depicted in 8-bit, 16-bit, or 3D-ish pixels throughout the sequence.

Apocalypse How: Individual games are treated as the Regional version: a class 4 happens if a game is destroyed by viruses, and a regional class 6 happens if a game is unplugged.

Retraux: The Fix-It Felix Jr. arcade game is made to look like it was made in the '80s. The teaser poster◊ is simply an 8-bit sprite of Ralph's head. They sure are banking on nostalgia. This whole film is filled with it, almost to the point of TRON: Legacy. In-universe, the Fix-It Felix Jr. game becomes more popular when characters from the long-abandoned Q*bert game move in and form their own bonus level.

Heel Realization: Zangief had this epiphany while crushing a man's skull like a sparrow's egg between his thighs, but he learned to live with it. There's another example that actually sticks, unlike the Zangief example: when King Candy a.k.a. Turbo Racer's manipulations of Sugar Rush's code are fixed, the other racers all get their memories back... including the memory of Vanellope von Schweetz being their true ruler, and thus they realize that their jackass behavior to Vanellope earlier was completely inexcusable. They all quickly apologize and admit what heels they were.

Moppet Girl spends eight quarters to play Hero's Duty only for Ralph to cause her to lose early on, two gamer geeks playing Sugar Rush intend to be at the cabinets all day and don't give her a turn, and she plays Fix-It Felix Jr. when Ralph is missing from the game. At least she got a refund for the last one, and is also the first player we see racing with the restored Vanellope in Sugar Rush.

Not So Different: Ralph and Vanellope are both outcasts in their game and seek better lives through winning competitions (medals and races, respectively). Sarah Silverman invokes this trope by name in Disney's "Meet the Cast of Wreck-It Ralph" clip.

Immune to Bullets
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_99db72ee
comment
Played with. Calhoun and her men are initially equipped with what appear to be plasma-based collapsible rifles. If one looks very closely (and slows down the footage) in the scene where they're shooting at Felix when he first enters Hero's Duty, though, spent casings can be seen falling out of the rifles as they're fired, although they still appear to be shooting lasers/plasma. Calhoun herself, however, also keeps a sidearm that's clearly using ballistics. She even checks the magazine before game jumping to Sugar Rush. This probably got a pass because the first time she fired it was for intimidation and the second time, the targets were immune to bullets anyway.

Fictional Video Game
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_9a7f6233
comment
Fictional Video Game: Three are the movie's major settings: Fix-It Felix Jr. is the game that Ralph and Felix come from. Sgt. Calhoun comes from Hero's Duty, and Vanellope comes from Sugar Rush. A fourth one called Turbo Time is also mentioned, but its lead character ended up destroying it and another game (Roadblasters) out of jealousy. Simplistic but faithfully recreated online versions of Fix-It Felix, Hero's Duty and Sugar Rush are available at the movie's page on Disney site. A real Fix-It Felix Jr. arcade game was manufactured by Disney to promote the movie at the 2011 D23 Expo. In addition, Disney had (though, likely still has going) a sweepstakes contest in which fans can enter to win one of their own.

Family-Unfriendly Death
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_9afa05c7
comment
Family-Unfriendly Death: King Candy a.k.a. Turbo gets eaten alive by a Cy-Bug. That's pretty family-unfriendly right there, but then it turns out one death is not the end for him and he goes all One-Winged Angel. Fortunately, Ralph defeats him (as well as all the other Cy-Bugs) by causing the Diet Cola Volcano to erupt. Since "Turbo" is now just a Cy-Bug with Turbo's memories, the Cy-Bug's programming takes over and he starts flying into the geyser. Last thing we see of Turbo is him glitching between a hypnotized "King Candy" and his real face, which is screaming in horror as he flies into the geyser and immolates himself. King Candy manages to convince Ralph that, if Vanellope is promoted to playable status, the players will see her glitches and assume the game is broken, forcing the arcade to decommission the machine. While player characters and NPCs will manage to evacuate safely, glitches like Vanellope won't, and will get sucked alive into a painful black hole of deletion, along with the game environment.

Difficult, but Awesome: In-story, Vanellope's glitch is presented as a disability that seriously hampers her racing ability, but once she learns to control it, it becomes a very powerful special ability; this may be why, at the end, she becomes so popular with the players.

Foreshadowing
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: Many: As Felix and Calhoun prepare to go into Sugar Rush after Ralph, there's a particularly subtle bit of foreshadowing among the graffiti on the wall. The word Turbo, and the 8-bit face of the man himself, before the tale of what "going Turbo" even means. Then we see Vanellope locked up in the Fungeon, one of the paintings on the wall is of a clown in a racecar doing Turbo's trademark pose. The fact that Ralph survived falling into the taffy swamp calls into question whether the Cy-Bug actually drowned in the taffy swamp. Several points in the film demonstrate that Vanellope's glitching extends to whatever she's in contact with, the first example being Taffyta. During the climax, this is how King Candy is exposed as Turbo. As early as the Bad-Anon scene, people tell Ralph of the dangers of "going Turbo" when he wishes to become a hero. It's referring to Turbo's insane game hopping, which resulted in two arcade machines being removed from the arcade. Before it gets properly explained by Felix, King Candy is the first person to hint that it means more than just abandoning one's game (even if it's technically become a euphemism for that). King Candy immediately assumes Ralph is there to steal his game and goes ballistic at the very idea, hinting that he's more familiar with the subject than he lets on. Later, we find out that Candy is Turbo, and has in fact done exactly that with Sugar Rush. Cy-Bugs become what they eat. It's demonstrated when one of them eats a gun. Then they go to a world of candy and become candy-themed. Then they eat King Candy/Turbo... King Candy doesn't quite look like the other racers in Sugar Rush. He's old, while they are all young, they're rather animesque while he's based on the Mad Hatter, and his clothes don't seem to follow the same design theme as theirs. It's almost like he doesn't really belong in that game. This is reinforced when he goes into the source code, he reviews the Konami Code written on a napkin from Tapper's, implying that he is from a time before Sugar Rush. There's also King Candy's box of code in the source code. All the boxes are uniform — even Vanellope's box clearly shown outside the main code, but King Candy's is at least three times as large, colored differently, and (if you look closely) is a mess of twisted code, all serving to indicate that there's a lot more to him than just one racer. Pay attention and you'll see Turbo's face among the other blue files. Really◊. Also, Vanellope's box in that same scene. It noticeably shoots off sparks from the connection points as the camera has it in focus, clearly implying that it was, at one point, connected to something. Since it isn't connected anymore, and King Candy is the only one who could access that area, it foreshadows that Vanellope isn't a glitch, she is an intended player character, and King Candy changed it. Watch carefully during the opening scene, when the camera is doing its pan through Litwak's arcade. You can get a clear glimpse of Vanellope's picture on the side of the Sugar Rush console, over an hour before the movie drops the Big Reveal. If you're thinking that something doesn't quite add up, hold onto that feeling. Also if you look even closer it gives even more foreshadowing if you see she is driving King Candy's car a.k.a. the vehicle the Ruler of Sugar Rush drives. This (fake) commercial for Sugar Rush, supposedly from 1997, clearly shows Vanellope as a playable character. When Vanellope first meets Ralph, she jokes about using the "royal we". Later on, when she's giving Ralph her hand-made hero medal she makes Ralph kneel and anoints him like a knight, saying that he is now "her royal chump". Even with her and everyone else's memories locked away, Princess Vanellope Von Schweetz is still subconsciously aware of who she's supposed to be. There's also the fact that she's the only character with "Von" in her name, and "Von" used to be for nobility. Right before they enter the car factory, Ralph and Vanellope sees a "No glitches" sign with the latter's face in it posted on the door that has a crown shaped logo on top of it. When Ralph punches the door, the crown logo also fell. Also during Vanellope and Ralph's first meeting, as Ralph climbs away from her until she's off screen, suddenly she's in front of him again on a higher branch, hinting at her teleportation powers later on. Ralph comments that King Candy's palace is pink. Candy insists it's clearly salmon. We laugh. But isn't pink a color associated with a different kind of royalty? Turbo's original game is a racing game. The second time Ralph and King Candy meet, Ralph is in a bad mood and tries several times to hit him. King Candy is genuinely afraid of Ralph and keeps dodging and avoiding his attacks, not just because he's a wimp, but because King Candy is outside his own game so if Ralph succeeded in striking him down, it would be game over for real for King Candy. King Candy recognizes Ralph when no-one else from Sugar Rush does, though Ralph doesn't know him in turn. This is because King Candy is really Turbo, whose game came out around the same time as Ralph's. Not to mention, the two games were neighbors. Even for Sugar Rush, King Candy's cart is very feminine. If you look closely, you can see that King Candy's coattails look like a beetle shell. Combining this with Theme Song Reveal, this is Vanellope's theme, not played alone through most of the movie. In parts, it cuts an 8-bit-esque, "princessy" theme that was presumably original to "Sugar Rush". During the Turbo exposition scene, you may well notice that Turbo's voice is the same as King Candy's. As the opening shows the Arcade fast-forwarding, it shows arcade machines leaving while others arrive. One of the ones that leaves is Turbo Time. After Vanellope uses the medal she stole from Ralph, he arrives in the scene and wreaks havoc. Vanellope ultimately hides in King Candy's car. While everyone has their attention on Ralph, she runs and passes by Crumbelina's car. The former is her original car, while the latter is the one she'll use to rescue Ralph at the climax. The Cy-Bug that Ralph accidentally brought to Sugar Rush is seen multiple times, hinting that it might be important. It is the same one that merges with King Candy. Vanellope seems barely able to drive at first, but once she manages to do a full lap on her practice track, her skill level suddenly goes way up, demonstrated by the way she executes a perfect turn-into-the-skid "drift" move on her way up to the ramp — a hint that she really is a coded racer character, not just a glitch that wants to be one. The horn on King Candy's kart (which actually belongs to Vanellope) plays the first few notes of "Hail to the Chief," hinting at Vanellope's eventual decision to be a president rather than a princess. Calhoun's fiancé actually looks remarkably like Felix, if Felix were drawn in the more realistic style of Hero's Duty, from sandy brown hair and blue eyes, to his build being much slighter than other male characters in his own game, all the way to a similar smile. No wonder he gave Calhoun flashbacks!

Inspirationally Disadvantaged: A refreshing aversion. There are those who see Vanellope's glitching as equivalent to a disability (she even calls it "pixlexsia".) However, she's also a well-developed character and accepts her glitch without Narm. In fact, she ultimately incorporates the glitch-teleport into her post-reset code since it has become part of her identity, and also because she turned it into a really cool superpower.

Leitmotif
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_9f6fb586
comment
Leitmotif: Turbo has a theme of his own — a very dark version of the first few notes of his old arcade game Turbo Time's theme. However, it is limited to very specific scenes due to him not appearing much in the movie, as himself anyway. It's most prominent in the climax. Vanellope has one as well: a descending melody that is played either whimsically or mournfully depending on the scene. Ralph's theme is the most blatant, playing as the title of the movie comes up and prominently throughout the following scene. It tends to appear in more sentimental moments, including his attempted Heroic Sacrifice. King Candy has a theme as well, a song that's actually a version of the Turbo Time version with a bar removed on every chord, possibly inspired by The Wizard of Oz. Since King Candy is actually an alias of Turbo, he has two letimotifs.

Odd Name Out: Most of the Sugar Rush characters have cutesy and punny names, but then there's Candlehead...Production note According to certain compelling evidence, it seems that Candlehead was originally intended to be Minty Zaki... but for unknown reasons, the name was instead given to a sour-apple-candy themed racer (originally named "Emmareld") at the last minute. and, of course, King Candy's name is noticeably simple for a game where everyone else has bizarrely fanciful names. Yet another clue to his true identity.

Sugar Bowl: The Sugar Rush game is a bright and cheerful world of candy where cute little kids race mini-karts. It is more Crapsaccharine World under King Candy's rule but it is implied that is was a genuine example when Princess Vanellope reigned, and will be again.

comment
Left the Background Music On: Felix has just rescued Calhoun from a NesquikSand pit, and romantic music plays in the background as Calhoun gets all doe-eyed. Then the camera pans slightly to reveal that the Laffy Taffies are providing the music and have surrounded them in the shape of a heart. Calhoun fires a few warning shots into the air to get them to knock it off.

My God, What Have I Done?
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_a1b141f4
comment
My God, What Have I Done?: When the characters of Sugar Rush realize who Vanellope really is, everyone panics, especially the other racers. Of course, they never realized the truth since their code had been manipulated by King Candy/Turbo. Ralph gets this threefold, first for crushing Vanellope's car into bits (even though he believes it is for the greater good, it's obvious he still feels this after the deed is done), seeing what his actions have wrought to his own game for running off, and finally when he realizes the Cy-Bug invasion of Sugar Rush was his fault. Another character as well — while Felix is upset with Ralph only because the latter game-jumped, he didn't realize just how badly the others in Fix-It Felix Jr. treated Ralph until Ralph compared said treatment with the treatment Felix got in prison. In this case, though, it was more guilt for not stopping others from treating Ralph badly, rather than Felix feeling bad for his own treatment of Ralph, who he at least tried to treat fairly, his reluctance owed to the Nicelanders' fear and loathing of Ralph.

Mood Whiplash: Halfway through the second trailer we cut from Vanellope spouting Toilet Humor about the name Hero's Duty to an incredibly sad and intense montage set to "Some Nights". The next lines? Ralph being told that "we can't change who we are" and Vanellope lamenting that everyone says she's just a mistake. And that's just the trailer. The Toilet Humor scene happens mere seconds after Vanellope was face down in the mud crying over being bullied and having her pedal car smashed up by the other kids.

This lends weight to the characters' actions through most of the film, as they spend the majority of it in Sugar Rush, where only Vanellope is a native. It finally happens to King Candy/Turbo, himself an immigrant to Sugar Rush, when he gets sucked into a cola/Mentos eruption by the programming of the Cy-Bug he's merged with.

MacGuffin: The Hero's Duty Medal is the initial catalyst to the movie's plot and possession of it drives a significant chunk of the conflict. It represents Ralph's shallow wish for fulfillment of his desires, but ultimately proves to be an illusion, a lie which causes great damage to be done both to Ralph's own game and to all the games he's visited. It is only after Ralph rejects that lie (i.e. throwing it against the game screen) that he discovers King Candy's deception (the "Out Of Order" sign taped on the other side of the screen falls off and reveals Vanellope is on the side of the Sugar Rush cabinet. At this point, it ceases to be relevant and is never seen again.) and the way to correct his mistakes and become the person he truly wants to be.

Status Quo Is God: A Nicelander landlord tries to invoke this, presumably when Ralph suggests to mix things up in the game so he plays the good guy. Kano even states as such during the Bad Guy meeting ("You can't mess with the program, Ralph."). In the end, Ralph returns to his role as a bad guy, but is happy that he's been the good guy for once (and fixed something, to boot), has earned the respect and generosity of Felix and the Nicelanders, and is able to see Vanellope racing with a player each time a round is completed (a.k.a. when the Nicelanders throw him off the building).

Played straight. Calhoun delivers several forceful helmet-bashes to "Private Markowski" (actually Ralph). He is wearing full Space Marine armor, so it's doubtful that the blows even sting, but it probably still wouldn't have gotten by the censors if a male sergeant were slapping around a female private. Additionally, she manages to belittle her subordinates by calling them "ladies" while herself being female.

Lady Not-Appearing-in-This-Game: An interesting and actually plot-critical example: Vanellope is featured prominently in the Sugar Rush cabinet art despite that she's supposedly a glitch and allegedly not supposed to even be in the game. This is what clues Ralph in that King Candy's hiding something and ultimately leads to the latter's plan derailing. In the end it actually proves to be a hint to an even bigger reveal: that Vanellope is actually the true ruler of Sugar Rush.

Worth It: In the ending: Ralph's every in-game defeat becomes a chance to see Vanellope succeeding at her game. The cast of the Fix-It Felix Jr. game invite older video game characters to join in "Bonus Stages" in their world, even though death for them there would be permanent. However, given that only Felix has the most significant risk of dying in this world, the risk to their lives is at best negligible and it's a lot better than being homeless. Also, Felix is shown to be able to heal people as well as fix stuff, thus helping grant the outcasts and decommissioned characters a better life. Fans also theorize that Felix tampered with the code to integrate the outcasts properly — making them legitimate characters and safe from permadeath.

Chekhov's Skill: Ralph's ability to break things and Felix's ability to fix things near instantaneously keeps cropping up. Parodied when Felix tries to mimic Ralph and break himself out of prison. With his magic hammer. It goes just as well as you'd expect. Ralph busts him out moments later. A noteworthy pair of examples of Ralph's Chekhov's Skill not working as previously shown are when he wrecks the Kart and the stack of Mentos in the mountain. Vanellope's glitching. It gives her a neat Teleport Spam and helps reveal who King Candy really is. King Candy's ability to enter the "operating system" turns out to be more than just a plot convenience for retrieving the Medal.

 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_acf33d00
comment
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain!: Both subverted and played straight in the fact that Ralph ends up saving the day in the end, yet he is still considered the "villain". King Candy, when he does not give Ralph back his medal when Ralph first meets him. Had King Candy just simply given Ralph his medal, then Ralph would have left the game and he would have never been discovered as Turbo. Similarly, had the bully racers of Sugar Rush not broken Vanellope's original pedal-powered kart, she wouldn't have gotten her new, real racing kart and thus might not have won or even completed the race. Another example, is the reveal of King Candy/Turbo attempting to have Vanellope deleted through his hacking which subsequently resulted her in becoming a glitch. Thus giving her new glitchy abilities, which she learns to control later on to her advantage.

Oh, Crap!
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_ad1db87c
comment
Oh, Crap!: Too many to count, but here's a few. Felix and the Nicelanders when Mr. Litwak puts up the "Out of Order" sign on their game. Ralph just before a baby Cy-Bug attacks him and makes him launch himself out of an escape pod. Not to mention when he first sees the action in Hero's Duty. Vanellope when she crashes her car into stalactites made out of Mentos... in Diet Cola Mountain. Felix has the most of these, from having pieces of ceiling fall on top of him that send him through his death animation to being shot at with machine guns outside of his game. Calhoun has a big one when she finally finds the Cy-Bug nest. A smaller but just as pronounced one when the Cy-Bug initially escapes. All she does is stare wide-eyed and run her hands through her hair, in one of the only times we see her scared in the entire movie. King Candy when he sees Vanellope racing alongside him. Considering we know his scheme at this point, it's justified. Near the end, all the Sugar Rush Racers got one when Princess (later, President) Vanellope joked that they were going to be executed. Ralph and Felix share one after seeing Vanellope's glitching reveal King Candy's true identity: Turbo.

Blue with Shock: Clyde reacts like this when Ralph expresses how tired he is of being the bad guy and everyone fears he's thinking of going Turbo. This is, of course, what happens to the ghosts in Pac-Man whenever Pac-Man picks up a power pill and starts hunting them.

Pyrrhic Victory: Ralph goes home with his medal, but it's not everything he thought it would be. He had to break a little girl's heart and his game is due to be unplugged, causing him to chuck the medal at the screen in disgust. Fortunately, the impact knocks the "Out of Order" sign loose and shows him how he can really be a hero.

Always Night: The world of Fix-It Felix Jr. is like this, as are most of the older games, by virtue of technological necessity. Hero's Duty seems to be this by design, being a scary Bug War sci-fi first-person shooter. Sugar Rush is an inversion, at least until the Cy-Bugs start attacking.

The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_b426973b
comment
The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: It's not entirely clear who is in control after Turbo is eaten and assimilated by a Cy-Bug... his personality and mannerisms remain intact, but he can't resist the hypnotic call of a gigantic light beacon — in this case a fiery volcano eruption — which spells his ultimate doom. The best idea seems to be that the Cy-Bug has absorbed the "King Candy" entity that Turbo created, and acts according to that absorbed programming, doing what Turbo wants. But when the beacon shows up, it overrides everything else, and compels the Cy-Bug to go toward it. The hybrid keeps glitching between Turbo and KC, with KC always "entranced" (following the Cy-Bug programming), and Turbo always fully awake, frantically trying to turn away.

Dungeon Bypass: In Hero's Duty, the player character is supposed to enter the tower, climb it from within, fight enemies along the way, and claim the medal. Ralph just climbs the outside and breaks in at the top, and he does it without killing a single bug, perhaps because he does it while the game isn't being actively played (so the bugs aren't active).

Epic Fail: Subverted in the Bake-A-Car mini-game. Despite trashing the set, the resulting vehicle is miraculously functional. Probably helps that this was just the decorative part of the process. It just affected the appearance of the vehicle, which Vanellope (to Ralph's surprise) ends up loving. Played straight later on when Felix tries to finally wreck something by using his hammer to break the bars on his jail cell... only it causes the bars to become twice as thick.

Take That!
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: The First-Person Shooter gets this big time when it gets brought up In-Universe: While the initial idea of the modern era of gaming being represented by a First-Person Shooter already had shades of this, Ralph's line "When did video games become so violent and scary?" further drives the point home.note To clarify, this isn't a Take That! aimed at that genre per se, but rather, one aimed at the way First Person Shooters are near-omnipresent in the gaming industry today. Nintendo systems aside, shooters are everywhere. In other words, if someone was asked to define Video Games with one genre, the go-to one would have been, say, the platform genre in The '90s, while today it's safe to say that grim 'n' gritty shooters are the first thing coming to mind when thinking of the medium. The parody-named FPS in the movie is named Hero's Duty, after the well-known sequel-spawning Cash Cow Franchise. Oddly, though Hero's Duty has many gritty elements of modern games, it is actually a Light Gun Game instead of a First-Person Shooter, especially given its arcade heritage. This is further enforced by a promotional version of Hero's Duty on Disney's web site, which plays like a conventional Light Gun Game. In this promotional picture, to quote it without acronyms◊, a homeless Q*bert character is holding a cardboard sign reading "Will appear as a Non-Player Character in a First-Person Shooter for food". Ouch.

People Puppets: When Fix-It Felix Jr. is actually being played, Felix is technically a slave who obeys the player's controls. The same could very well be said for any character that is directly controlled by a player, such as the First-Person Shooter robot in Hero's Duty, and presumably the player's kart in Sugar Rush. It is also inverted when Felix moves on his own during game time; the controls on the arcade console move by themselves.

Hypocritical Humor
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_b707726f
comment
Hypocritical Humor: After Ralph spends most of the introduction lamenting the fact that no-one seems to appreciate him even though he's just doing his job, he gives the Surge Protector a very hard time for just doing his job. It's justified by the fact that he's always stopped when entering and leaving Game Central Station and believes Surge Protector is just profiling, although considering that he is smuggling "contraband" (cherries from Pac-Man) kind of justifies Surge Protector's actions. When Ralph comes across the Hero's Duty private, Markowski, in the lost and found at Tapper's, and asks to tag along back to Hero's Duty, but Markowski refuses, saying "Only the best and bravest serve in our corps!" A split second later, he sees a cockroach on Ralph's shoulder, screams like a little girl, and runs head-first into the wall, knocking himself unconscious. (Though, it may be a subversion after we actually get to see the gameplay inside Hero's Duty; or a justification given what the bugs in his home game are like.) Another example is Ralph's anger at Vanellope for stealing his medal. You know, the one he himself stole? Vanellope insults Ralph that he seems homeless. Later on, she reveals that she sleeps next to the dangerous Diet Cola Hot Springs to avoid getting incarcerated for being a glitch. Granted, she still had it better than Ralph did as while he sleeps on a pile of bricks, Vanellope uses a spongecake as a bed plus candy and snack foods to make a tent and furniture. King Candy asking Ralph if he's "going Turbo", since that's what he himself did when he was Turbo. When Ralph first meets the Sugar Rush racers, he chases them away for destroying Vanellope's cart. Later, when Vanellope finds the gold medal on Ralph, he angrily wrecks her racecar which he helped her build.

Moral Dissonance: Vanellope's lack of caring if her "glitching" gets Sugar Rush unplugged if she races as this. It could follow this was a knee-jerk reaction to a) getting that close to living her dream as a racer, and b) feeling that Ralph double-crossed her for talking with King Candy.

Catch-22 Dilemma: Sugar Rush Speedway invokes this trope. The nine racers who will be on next day's roster are decided by a race held after the arcade closes, and the entrance fee is a coin; those who don't place in the top 9 don't get on the roster, thus can't earn any coins that day, so if they use the last of their coins to enter the qualifying race and don't place, they can never again be on the roster and thus can't ever get any more coins. This is done to keep Vanellope, supposedly a glitch, from racing, though why it hasn't yet caught any of the others is not explained. However since King Candy/Turbo does have access to the game's code and has proven he can alter character inventories, he probably can make sure that all of the other racers always have enough coins to enter.

Sadistic Choice: King Candy's explanation about the possible unplugging of Sugar Rush — and how Vanellope's nature as a glitch would force her to stay and die with the game — forces Ralph into one of these: let Vanellope race and possibly consign her to a Fate Worse than Death, or save her life by destroying her kart... and her dreams. Ralph, unwilling to lose the only real friend he's ever had, chooses the latter. And the worst thing about it is that's it a lie created by King Candy so Vanellope can remain forever a glitch. Only later does Ralph realize he got played by King Candy and goes on to make amends with Vanellope.

It's All About Me: Gene and Vanellope accuse Ralph of thinking only of himself because he abandons both of them for a medal. Turbo/King Candy's motivation is hogging attention to the point that both his and the other game are unplugged.

Bad is Good and Good is Bad: The Bad-Anon Affirmation is, "I'm bad and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me." It does double duty as a Badass Creed during the climax as an affirmation of what he is and what he does. Triple duty if you consider that Ralph meant them as his Famous Last Words.

When All You Have Is a Hammer...: All Felix has is a hammer, however it fixes things. Noticeable when he tries to break out of the fungeon with it, with predictable results. Ralph's one talent is smashing things (and he does it well), and he uses it to get by as he ventures through the arcade. For instance, when constructing a track for Vanellope to practice on.

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_c0e3994b
comment
Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Two straightforward cases and one invoking of the trope. Played straight. Calhoun delivers several forceful helmet-bashes to "Private Markowski" (actually Ralph). He is wearing full Space Marine armor, so it's doubtful that the blows even sting, but it probably still wouldn't have gotten by the censors if a male sergeant were slapping around a female private. Additionally, she manages to belittle her subordinates by calling them "ladies" while herself being female. Played straight again. Calhoun punches Ralph outright near the climax, after she realizes his selfishness has doomed the entire world of Sugar Rush. Invoked. Calhoun provides Felix with a solitary Get a Hold of Yourself, Man! slap while they are stuck in the NesquikSand, which reveals that the "vines" they can't reach are actually Laffy Taffy that happen to find the idea of Calhoun hitting Felix hilarious. Though the vines believe in the double standard, Calhoun clearly does not, and is reluctant to indulge the vines at Felix's insistence even when he reveals he can heal himself instantly. He does eventually get her to play along as it's the only chance they have to escape. Her concern is justified but averts any sort of female caretaker overtones since both are outside of their games at the time and so there's the possibility that if Felix can't heal himself properly, she could very well beat him to death.

You Are Better Than You Think You Are: When Ralph is thrown into the Fungeon with Fix-It Felix, he tells Felix that he tried running away and being a good guy by going to Hero's Duty and taking the medal; Ralph asks Felix to fix Vanellope's cart, which he agrees to do. Later on, when the Cy-Bug has turned into an invasive swarm, Ralph punches the Mentos mints into the diet cola fountain, telling himself "I'm bad, and that's good! I will never be good, and that's not bad! There's no-one I'd rather be... than me." Ralph ends up becoming a hero to Vanellope, the other Sugar Rush racers and inhabitants by saving their game, with the Nicelanders treating him with more respect and consideration, and he even helps out unemployed video game characters to make special cameo guest appearances in Niceland.

Zigzagged Trope. While there is a movie poster that features only the four main characters, others have one of the four surrounded by some of the movie's many cameos. While the film's makers certainly crafted the story first, cameos are highly advertised — the Sega and Nintendo characters are right on the cover when they have very little to do or say. Most watchers expected them to feature far more heavily in the movie than they really did. Even more baffling, the movie's character sometimes isn't even the most prominent character in the poster!note You can view them all here

Non-Standard Character Design: Sgt. Calhoun has the most realistic design of the four main characters, who are very cartoony. This is in keeping with the design of the NPCs from Hero's Duty, which is also more realistic than the others. In addition, the designs of Ralph and Felix differ from Vanellope in that Ralph, Felix and anyone from their game have five fingers when Vanellope and anyone from her game have four. This is also in keeping with the design of the game Ralph and Felix come from, being an '80s Japanese-made arcade game. Inside Sugar Rush, King Candy is a beady-eyed old man in a game of anime-eyed children and sentient candy. This is the first visible clue that he isn't supposed to be there.

Real Trailer, Fake Movie: Or Fake Game — there are trailers for the games of Hero's Duty, Sugar Rush, and Fix-It Felix Jr. While there aren't arcade machines for the games, Disney placed browser versions of each of the games on the movie website and the Disney.com games section. Now completely averted with Fix-it Felix Jr., which has its very own real machine(s) at Disney's theme parks.

The Nicknamer: Vanellope, as seen under Big Stupid Doo Doo Head, refers to Ralph as "Knuckles" at one point on account of his big hands. Her favorite nickname for him appears to be "Stinkbrain".

Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_c87660d5
comment
Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!: While stuck in the NesquikSand with Calhoun, Felix confidently states that he can simply hop free. When that fails, he freaks out ("I'm hopless... this is hopeless!") and nearly drowns himself by flailing, forcing Calhoun to smack some calm into him. She even says "get a hold of yourself." This also ends up saving them as the slapstick attracts the Laffy Taffy to them. It's also said later by Ralph during Felix's rant about the troubles he went through searching for him.

Any character who game hops into another game falls into this. Ralph is completely out of context for the people in Sugar Rush since all the characters, save for King Candy, are cute anime girls/boys, while he's a big brute able to shatter jawbreakers, something that is thought to be impossible. Vanellope is quick to take advantage of this.

Since there is no beacon to keep them under control like in Hero's Duty, they breed like crazy and eat the game from the inside out. They threaten to do the same to the entire arcade if they escape Sugar Rush.

Killed Off for Real: Sonic's in-universe Public Service Announcement explains the rules: This lends weight to the characters' actions through most of the film, as they spend the majority of it in Sugar Rush, where only Vanellope is a native. It finally happens to King Candy/Turbo, himself an immigrant to Sugar Rush, when he gets sucked into a cola/Mentos eruption by the programming of the Cy-Bug he's merged with. This will also happen, along with a full-on Apocalypse, to whoever didn't make it out when the game's plug is pulled. This becomes a plot point twice because Vanellope cannot leave due to her glitch status.

Nightmare Face: Turbo/King Candy, when he starts glitching out while attacking Vanellope. His face flickers back and forth between his King Candy disguise, his rendered Turbo face, and his utterly terrifying skull-like 8-bit Turbo face, while red glitch lines flicker throughout his body. It doesn't help that some of the glitching reveals him in 3D 8-bit, so his face looks like it's made up entirely of tiny blocks, instead of just squares. Combined with his murderous expression, it's damn creepy.

Eureka Moment: Ralph has one when he throws his hard-earned medal at his game's monitor, dislodging the Out of Order sign on the other side... and giving him a clear view of Vanellope's image on the side of the arcade cabinet. This happens with Vanellope when King Candy calls her a glitch while trying to ram her into a cave column, having her realize that she can glitch out of harm's way. Ralph has one later when Calhoun explains why the Cy-Bugs in Sugar Rush are much more dangerous due to the lack of a beacon to keep them in check.

Genre Throwback: In-universe: after the events of the movie, Fix-It Felix Jr. becomes a popular arcade game again, thanks to all the decommissioned arcade characters (like Q*bert) it now hosts, all of whom participate in gameplay and in bonus levels. Ralph says players love it for "being retro", which he figures means something like "old, but cool".

That Came Out Wrong: Hero's Duty has the unfortunate trait of sounding like "Hero's Doody," a pun on another word for human excrement. Vanellope takes advantage of this. It's even intentionally used in its commercial's tagline: "It's the biggest Duty of all." Or, you're supposed to read it as "It's the biggest doody of all!"

Dangerous Device Disposal Debacle: Cy-Bugs are always recalled and vaporized between Hero's Duty game sessions so they don't cause any more trouble than they have to. When Ralph accidentally activates one and sends it flying into Sugar Rush, it sinks into liquid taffy and Ralph thinks that's the end of that; it's dead and not worth worrying about. However, he doesn't actually confirm that the bug is dead, and Calhoun calls him out on this after finding its nest, where it feasted on candy and laid loads of eggs, making enough bugs to destroy Sugar Rush in minutes.

Bonus Stage: In the epilogue, Felix and Ralph let several homeless characters move into their game by setting up a bonus level where they assist in wrecking the apartments while Q*bert assists Felix in fixing it. Thanks to retro appeal, this makes the game even more popular. As part of Street Fighter's cameo references, Ralph and Vanellope are also shown participating in its bonus level (helping Ryu smash the car). Invoked when Vanellope says her hideout in Diet Cola Mountain is an unfinished bonus stage that got Dummied Out.

Invoked when Ralph tries to take part in the modern, ultra-realistic light-gun shooter Hero's Duty. The writers mention that the game's world was intended to be a place where Ralph, a throwback to 8-bit 1980s games, would be completely out of his depth, and it shows. The crowning moment is when Ralph tries to rush into the lab, believing it to be a safe haven from the Cy-Bugs, unaware that a lab would be exactly the kind of place where the Cy-Bugs would be coming from.

comment
Unusual Euphemism: All of the main characters except Ralph have a few phrases that are a little bizarre. Some of these are of the Hold Your Hippogriffs sense, but others are just quirky. An important one mentioned by a few characters is the phrase "Going Turbo". This concept is a reference to another game character who decided to jump to another game and ended up destroying both that game and his own.

Reset Button: All the damage caused by Turbo and the Cy-Bugs to Sugar Rush is undone when Vanellope crosses the finish line because the game reset. This action also adds her character to the next day's roster. This also returns everyone's memories that Turbo had locked up — but they remember what they'd done while they were brainwashed. See Ripple Effect-Proof Memory below.

Assimilation Backfire: The main villains include Cy-Bugs, which take on the features of whatever they eat. A Cy-Bug eats King Candy, who is assimilated a little too well and becomes said Cy-Bug's primary consciousness. Also, the Cy-Bugs from Hero's Duty are metallic from eating the metal environment around them. When they are in Sugar Rush, they eat and become the candy from the game, making it easier for Ralph to simply smash them — the exception being those that ate jawbreakers and are subsequently even tougher than the metal ones.

Lightning Bruiser: Ralph has a rather impressive running speed for someone his size, and is capable of punching things so fast that his arms blur, and he's able to pulverize stone into dust in less than a second. He does this in one scene to make a bed out of the bricks in the dump, and later to make a training race course for Vanellope. In the climax, King Candy in his Cy-Bug form, despite being over twenty feet tall (and strong enough to toss Ralph around like a rag doll), can still move pretty damn fast.

Contrived Coincidence: It's a good thing Markowski mentioned earning medals in Hero's Duty in front of Ralph. It's also a good thing that Calhoun stated that without a beacon there would be no way to fend off the swarm of Cy-Bugs that had invaded Sugar Rush, which gives Ralph an idea... It's a not-so-good thing that Felix called Calhoun a "dynamite gal", not knowing that is a Trauma Button for her, as it was what her late fiance used to call her. A double whammy of good things when Mr. Litwak didn't secure the tape on the "Out of Order" sign well enough and Ralph deciding to throw his medal against the screen in frustration, enough to knock the tape and the paper loose and revealing to Ralph Vanellope's portrait on the side of the Sugar Rush cabinet. And it's fortunate that when Ralph is lifted high into the air by Cy-Bug King Candy, he's directly over Diet Cola Mountain rather than having flown any distance horizontally at all.

Reasonable Authority Figure: At times, King Candy is this — if a bit loony — approaching Ralph and pleading with him, explaining why Vanellope cannot enter the race because of the damage it would ultimately do to the game and Vanellope herself, namely, players seeing Vanellope glitching would have the arcade decommission their otherwise perfectly working machine. He has ulterior motives for not wanting her to race.

Chekhov's Gunman: Turbo is mentioned early on as a backstory element. The cy-bugs; when Ralph climbs into the central beacon and gets into an escape pod, the pod containing Ralph and the Cy-bug lands in a swamp in Sugar Rush, where the Cy-bugs start breeding and multiplying, emerging as a swarming infestation that threatens to destroy Sugar Rush. It takes a heroic effort from Ralph to knock the Mentos into the Diet Cola Mountain's interior and create a beacon to destroy the Cy-Bugs.

In an in-universe example, Ralph does this, in Hero's Duty when he grabs the robot that the player operates and yells his "When did video games become so violent and scary?!" line into its monitor... promptly causing the player to lose the game. Yep, there's a reason why the Fourth Wall exists in this realm. Calhoun even chews him out for it, stating that the first rule of the game is to not interfere with the player. The robot is also kinda pissed at Ralph.

Family-Friendly Firearms: Played with. Calhoun and her men are initially equipped with what appear to be plasma-based collapsible rifles. If one looks very closely (and slows down the footage) in the scene where they're shooting at Felix when he first enters Hero's Duty, though, spent casings can be seen falling out of the rifles as they're fired, although they still appear to be shooting lasers/plasma. Calhoun herself, however, also keeps a sidearm that's clearly using ballistics. She even checks the magazine before game jumping to Sugar Rush. This probably got a pass because the first time she fired it was for intimidation and the second time, the targets were immune to bullets anyway. Averted with the taser that gets used on Ralph. That definitely hurt.

The movie becomes a Reconstruction into modern gaming by the end. Ralph travels worlds, battles a conspiracy, makes several difficult moral decisions, battles an evil mastermind in a climactic showdown and even pre-meditates a Heroic Sacrifice in the name of saving the one he loves. It's a plot very much like many popular modern games, undertaken by a character inspired by classic gaming.

Expy: All of the principal leads in this film are expies of video game characters in some way. Disney also got the rights to use actual video game characters for cameos rather than just expies, à la Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Toy Story. Ralph himself is a human Donkey Kong. The hero of the game, Felix, is an imitation of Mario (or, as he was called back in Donkey Kong, Jumpman). It's probably a coincidence, but Felix's name and appearance also remind of handyman Fred Fixit from LucasArts' obscure title Night Shift. The names Fix-It Felix and Wreck-It Ralph are similar to that of obscure franchise Hammerin' Harry complete with similar catchphrases. And indeed, the beginning of the film shows Ralph's house getting demolished to make place for a series of apartments, which is exactly what happens to Hammerin' Harry at the beginning of the game. Observe. Wreck-It Ralph also alludes to Wrecking Crew, which starred a hammer-wielding Mario. Sgt. Calhoun could be based on any number of commando characters from video games. But in particular she seems to be a cross between Samus and a Female Shepard, with the language kept family-friendly. Sugar Rush at first seems like any other kart racing game from the '90s, only it's themed on candy. But Rich Moore stated that his favorite current game is Mario Kart, which means that's the basic inspiration. Indeed, it seems like a cross between Mario Kart and Candy Land. Also, portions of the Sugar Rush race course are clearly taken from various Mario Kart 64 courses, with the candy theme substituted in. The creators admit King Candy's based on The Mad Hatter from Disney's version of Alice in Wonderland (who in turn was based on and voiced by Ed Wynn in his "Perfect Fool" persona). In regards to King Candy, Turbo, in addition to being the name of a Sega arcade game, is a knock-off of the marquee chalky-skinned mascot from the Bally/Midway game Rally-X. His King Candy persona is one of The Wizard from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He comes from another land (his own game), is leading his subjects on through manipulation and usurping the rightful ruler and having their memories locked away (Ozma and Vanellope), the hero comes to him for a favor (in Ralph's case, the medal he got from Hero's Duty), while he asks of something in return that involves the "villain" (Vanellope, which he calls "The Glitch", and smashing her candy car), and is ultimately a fraud hiding behind another image that makes the hero appreciate the things they have in life. There's even some cute allusions with the fact he's ruling over what can be considered Munchkins (the other candy racers) and has Oreo guards which chant, drill and move, in the same fashion as those from the movie. King Candy is also noted to have some unsettling similarities to Judge Doom due to both characters using disguises throughout the majority of their respective films and possessing unnerving true forms. In the same way that King Candy is an Expy of The Wizard of Oz, Vanellope is seen as one for Princess Ozma in the sense that she's the rightful ruler of the kingdom and was ousted through trickery, and has no memory of who she really is. And like Ozma she's eventually restored to her rightful place. The arcade owner, Mr. Litwak, looks a very great deal like Walter Day. Hero's Duty is a sci-fi themed FPS (though technically it's a Rail Shooter). While it's clearly named after Call of Duty, the sci-fi elements (space marine characters and insectoid enemies hatched from eggs like Alien Swarm) are more reminiscent of Halo with some Aliens and Starship Troopers thrown in.

Pimped-Out Dress: Vanellope's princess dress. It is very pink and frilly with a high white collar and lacy sleeves, and it's obvious Vanellope isn't a fan. She has it on again at Felix and Calhoun's wedding. It's apparently tight around the collar. Calhoun's dress (which seems to be the same for both weddings) is pretty stunning.

Insistent Terminology: King Candy's palace isn't pink, it's salmon. This hints/foreshadows at the fact that the castle isn't technically his. Vanellope first objects to Taffyta calling her a glitch and says she just has "pixlexia". But afterwards Vanellope does call herself a glitch evidenced when she tells Ralph "Glitches can't leave their game! It's one of the joys of being me."

Determinator: All of the main characters exhibit constant and often stubborn determination in accomplishing their goals — which is used by the story itself several times to show how much they have in common. Felix and Calhoun both show a totally unwavering dedication to getting their jobs done, which briefly causes them to argue when they first team up. Likewise, Ralph and Vanellope never give up on obtaining the thing they think will make their lives better, even when they know doing it is a terrible idea. On the villainous side, Turbo will stop at nothing to give himself the spotlight — no matter who he has to attack to do it. Even when his previous selfish attempt failed so utterly that it put him and dozens of others out of their homes, all he learns from the situation is to do it again but more sneakily.

Percussive Maintenance: Felix's magic hammer fixes things by hitting them (which makes sense in his game). As it turns out, it can fix anything (including healing himself), and even if he's trying to smash his way out of a jail, his hammer will make the bars stronger. Calhoun frequently shakes and hits the motion-detector she's using to track Cy-Bugs, as it has trouble functioning through all the sweets that constitues Sugar Rush's landscape. It doesn't do much good, though.

The Unmasqued World: Averted; nobody ever realizes that the video-game characters are sentient and living in their own world. If something goes wrong (like Turbo invading a Road Blasters cabinet), they just think the game is glitching and call the arcade manager to look at it. And not even he really knows what's happening; all he does is slap "Out of Order" posters on the screens or replace the machines altogether. When the Q*bert crew join the Fix-It Felix Jr. crew in their machine in the ending, the arcade-goers just assume that it's a fun retro remix of both games.

Bright Is Not Good: While on the surface Sugar Rush's characters appear to be sickly sweet and nice, the irony is that pretty much every single inhabitant of the game is a horrible individual. In truth, they were originally just as nice as they appeared, but King Candy, who is in reality Turbo in disguise, intentionally messed up Sugar Rush's programming code so none of the racers would remember who Vanellope von Schweetz really was. The second they get their memories back, light does in fact become good and they instantly apologize for how mean they were. "Candy-coated heart of darkness", as Ralph puts it.

Being Evil Sucks: It can really suck to be a video game villain. Nobody appreciates the hard work you put into your villainy, you don't get any of the glory like the hero does, and in Ralph's case, he's constantly hoisted and pitched off the edge of a tall building when Felix saves the day, only to go home to the dump and sleep on a bed made of broken bricks he broke in the previous rounds.

The Not-Love Interest: Vanellope for Ralph. A lot of people who only saw her character design thought she was an extremely short adult (since when it comes to video game character designs, anything goes) and assumed she was the Love Interest (an online preview with multiple factual errors didn't help matters). She is supposed to be nine years old and is definitely not Ralph's Love Interest, although she and Ralph do become best friends.

The Alleged Car: Vanellope's first car, dubbed the Lickety-Split, isn't much to look at, doesn't even have an engine, and is entirely pedal-powered. It's unlikely it would have ever offered any serious competition in the race, and it is destroyed very easily by the other Sugar Rush racers... who finish the job for her. This foreshadows why she is forbidden to race. She doesn't need to offer serious competition; she just needs to finish, so even a pedal-powered car is a threat to King Candy.

They actually did extensive research (as well as going through boxes of candy and confections) for the sake of it, and it shows. Ralph is also shown eating cherries as big as watermelons. "Fresh from Pac-Man." The cake at the party, with different flavors for each apartment, is pretty extravagant. Even the mud is actually chocolate.

Vanellope orders them all put to death, then pardons them after they spend a good few seconds in pants-wetting, teary terror. It doesn't take very long for Felix to forgive Ralph for what he's put him through. This is partially because Felix is simply just too nice a guy to hold a grudge for long, and partly because he's got a taste of what things are like from Ralph's point of view for the first time. Shortly after, when Ralph breaks into Vanellope's Fungeon cell with her car now fully repaired. Granted, she would have to be pretty spiteful to turn down his help when she can choose between trying to accomplish her dream or staying locked up, but after a few apologies from Ralph, she's over what she saw as a devastating betrayal. Finally, when Sugar Rush is about to be destroyed by Cy-Bugs, Vanellope forgives Ralph for inadvertently causing it and for causing her own impending death because she can't leave with a quiet "It's okay, Ralph".

Product Placement
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_f511ea9b
comment
Product Placement: The various licensed game characters don't really count, since that's what the movie's world is about; but Sugar Rush has lots of placement, notably Mentos, NesquikSand, and Laffy Taffy. One product notable by its absence is Diet Coke, as the game/movie calls it "diet cola" instead. The scene where the donut cops Wynchell and Duncan deploy the Devil Dogs to search for Ralph is the point where they lose all attempts at subtlety. The Subway cup in the arcade had more than its fair share of screen time. King Candy's guards are Oreos who chant "Oooor-REE-oooh. OOO-REEEEEEEEEEEEE-oh." One of the racers, Rancis Fluggerbutter, has a Reese's Peanut-butter Cup theme with his clothing and his car. Beard Papa's is an actual Cream Puff brand. With said character as their real-life mascot, and in Sugar Rush, as the guard of the Kart Bakery.

 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_f51c5f3c
comment
Never Say "Die": Averted in the original as King Candy uses both "kill" and "die" in the climax. However in some dubs, like the Norwegian, his lines were changed from "...it'd be more fun to kill you" and "Let's watch her die together, shall we?" to "...it'd be more fun to get rid of you" and "Let's watch her disappear together."

Running Gag: The double stripe disappearing candy cane branches. This becomes a Plot Point when Calhoun and Felix are dropped into NesquikSand-pit after a double-stripe bridge vanishes beneath their feet. Many of the characters in Sugar Rush complain about Ralph's bad breath. A very brief one, when Vanellope is learning to drive: Ralph stands in front of the cart and she runs over his foot. Ralph stands behind the cart, and she backs into him and knocks him over — then backs into him again while he's trying to get up. Ralph hides behind a "rock" and she runs into a stalagmite, causing it to break, fall over and whack him on the head.

Final Death
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_fc15d243
comment
Final Death: As Sonic's PSA in the opening chapter explains, if a character dies outside of their game, they don't regenerate, essentially making out-of-game death stick. It's justified in the sense that only their native game possesses the code needed to spawn their next life, and it can't exactly go making a copy of them if it doesn't know that they died. This makes Ralph's (almost) Heroic Sacrifice all the more tense when breaking out of Cy-Bug-Turbo's grasp.

Brick Joke

comment
Brick Joke: During the anniversary party, Ralph asks what flavor was used for his part of the cake (the mud puddle). Much to his dismay, it turns out to be chocolate, which he hates. During his time in Sugar Rush, he falls into an actual pond of chocolate. Even later, after Vanellope saves him in the climax and they wind up in another pond after escaping the volcano; only this time he's more than happy to land in it, commenting "I love chocolate!". Then one final time in the Creative Closing Credits sequence. During the hunt for Ralph, Calhoun mentions she'll slap Ralph for bringing a Cy-Bug outside of her game. Sure enough, that's exactly what she does. When we first encounter the Surge Protector, Ralph is smuggling cherries back from Pac-Man. In The Stinger, Ralph can be seen carrying cherries again at the bottom of the Pac-Manesque Kill Screen. Part of Calhoun's most tragic backstory ever involves her wedding being interrupted by a Cy-Bug, which came through the window and ate her fiancé. At her wedding with Felix, which takes place in the same chapel, all of the soldiers present are aiming their laser sights at that window. Double-striped candy canes disappear when touched. Unfortunately for Calhoun and Felix, nobody told them that. When Ralph gets Markowski to tell him about the medals in Hero's Duty, he says "Oooh!" twice in an identical tone — when he climbs to the top of the tower and sees the medal for himself, he says "Oooh!" a third time in exactly the same way. Ralph struggles to break a presumably unbreakable Jaw Breaker. Later, Calhoun's bullets bounce off a Jaw Breaker-headed Cy-Bug. Ralph leaves Sour Bill stuck to a lollipop. After the Sugar Apocalypse has been reverted and Vanellope has been reinstated as the rightful ruler of Sugar Rush, Sour Bill is there to play herald, even though he's still stuck to the lollipop. When Ralph and Vanellope bid their farewells, Ralph cheers her up by giving a nod to her previous "Hero's Doody" jokes: Remember the cheat sheet King Candy used to get into the Sugar Rush programming? It's there on the table at Tapper's in the closing sequence. A subtle one: When the arcade opens, a sign next to the door reads "No outside food or drinks allowed in arcade". A couple scenes later, we see one of the guys playing Sugar Rush has a cup from Subway. All of the bricks in Ralph's dump are used to build homes for Ralph and the homeless characters in the end.

Dark and Troubled Past: Invoked, lampshaded, and parodied with Calhoun. According to one of her subordinates, "she was programmed with the most tragic backstory ever": her husband-to-be gets eaten on their wedding day because she forgot to do a perimeter check. She unloads, screaming in horror, with a minigun she happened to have tucked away under her wedding gown, fueling her hatred for the bugs. Later, Felix calls her "a dynamite gal", which sets off a blackly hilarious series of flashbacks of her to-be-fiancé calling her the same thing.

Shown Their Work
 Wreck-It Ralph / Disney / int_ffad4e9f

Shown Their Work: Plenty. Long story short, out of all the gaming references seen, almost all of them are portrayed perfectly. Zangief's the one exception. His name is pronounced incorrectly (Zan-gi-ev, not Zan-Geef), and putting him in with the villains almost caused a counterattack, as outside of some adaptations, Zangief is one of the series' heroes. Screenwriter Phil Johnston says it's entirely his fault — not because of not doing the research, but because Zangief was a High-Tier Induced Scrappy to Johnston during his Street Fighter II-playing days. "I don't care what anybody says, he was bad to me." Even the titular game is an example. The similarities to Crazy Climber are definitely noticeable even if they were not quite able to get the rights. Ever wondered how Sonic somehow wound up in the arcade? Well, there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it frame of a very obscure (but indeed real) arcade machine titled Sonic the Fighters (a fighting game with Sonic and the gang) during the evolution of arcade sequence in the beginning. Another rather obscure Sonic game called SegaSonic the Hedgehog was made exclusively for arcades, and predates Fighters, though it is not shown in this movie. Also ties in with Bowser and Eggman in the fact that their home console games also had coin-op ports back in the day. (See here and here). As of 2015, Sonic Dash has also been ported to arcades. As for Sonic the Fighters (or Sonic Championship in Japan), the game is playable on the Nintendo GameCube compilation Sonic Gems Collection and was re-released on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. How did the ! end up in the lost and found? Litwak probably imported it from Japan. Felix's quip about Mario being "fashionably late per the norm" isn't just a reference to Mario not being in the movie — it's also an allusion to how, after Super Mario 64, consoles often didn't get Mario games straight at launch. Also whenever Mario gets an invitation from the Princess, usually concerning a party or cake; the norm is that Bowser kidnaps her shortly before he arrives. Vanellope's kart's Fashionable Asymmetry is given an in-story explanation as Ralph screwed up while baking it; it's also reminiscent of messed-up textures (example◊ from Mario Kart DS) due to, well, glitching. The producers got Buckner and Garcia to do a song about a fictional video game. Sgt. Calhoun is one of the few fictional characters to observe proper gun safety at all times, fittingly for a soldier. The film's creators worked with the actual game devs to get each character just right. For example, the cup of coffee that Bowser drinks is apparently how he canonically has his coffee in his home franchise.
