New Disney "Arcade Game" Movie - Wreck-It Ralph

Looks like a Galaxian converted to Donkey Kong:

I'm a big Disney fan, and while some of their more recent non-Pixar movies haven't exactly been the most stellar things, this is an absolutely FANTASTIC idea for a movie, and I really can't wait for this to come out in a year. The feel and description of the story is dead-on and the arcade cabinet and pictures give it a really great 80s arcade feel, they definitely knew what they were doing with the artwork and character design on this one. Wreck-It-Ralph reminds me a lot of Bluto from Popeye.

This is awesome, thanks for sharing!

Pixar has made some of my (and my kids) favorite movies. I think there is a klover that does animation for them. Can hardly wait for this one!

Looks great, too bad they couldn't use a CRT in that cabinet. The LCD is so obvious.

Thanks for posting the vids. I am still trying to figure that out.

Thanks for posting this. I wonder if the game is actually playable.

How could it not be, that will be sold this X-mas!

Hey maybe Hallmark will do a ornament out of it! It is the same cabinet design as a Galaga!

Very cool. Thanks for posting! Looking forward to it now.

Glad Disney announced this. I've been wanting to tell my friends about this for 4 years.

Looks like Crazy Climber meets Popeye meets Rampage to me. Kinda cool.

That's just plain awesome. Looking forward to seeing it.

I think it looks really good. The faux-CRT filter needs a little work though.

Wow what a nice surprise.

If the movie does well, i know it will impact our hobby in a good way - parents may get sentimental and seek out their old favorites.....

Ah ha, you must be the Pixar employee. Any idea what other real arcade video game characters are going to be making an appearance?

I'd have to destroy all your games if I told you.

Figured this would be worth a bump, in case anyone wanted to see some scans from an article on this:

I'm definitely looking forward to this, as it appears that Wreck-It Ralph has that same retro aesthetic/attention to detail that Flynn's did in Tron: Legacy !

WIR's success will likely impact the feasibility of any upcoming Tron sequels{positively/negatively}.

In line with what others have said, I also hope that Wreck-It Ralph brings 'new blood' into this hobby{or at least a deeper appreciation of "the classics}".

The list of Donkey Kong and/or Jumpman-related/inspired properties{Nintendo's Popeye, The King of Kong, Doctor Kong} continues to flourish and prosper !

Here it is quoted for those of us who are lazy:

Concept art for the film has suggested that Wreck-It Ralph will feature cameo appearances from a number of video game characters. The characters exhibited thus far include:

• Bowser from Super Mario Bros.
• Doctor Eggman from Sonic the Hedgehog
• Kano from Mortal Kombat
• Pac-Man ghost from Pac-Man
• Doctor Wily from Mega Man
• Zangief from Street Fighter
• Coily the Snake from Q*bert

John Lasseter, the head of Walt Disney Animation Studios and executive producer of the film, describes Wreck-It Ralph as "an 8-bit video game bad guy who travels the length of the arcade to prove that he's a good guy".[4] In a manner similar to Disney's 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Wreck-It Ralph will feature cameo appearances by a number of licensed video game characters.[4] For example, one planned scene shows Ralph attending a support group for the arcade's various villain characters, including a ghost from Pac-Man and Coily, the snake from Q-Bert.[4]
