Walt Disney Pictures has revealed the comprehensive character guide of its upcoming animated feature “Wreck-It Ralph” showcasing each of the film’s four main “levels.”
“Wreck-It Ralph” takes moviegoers on a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping journey in which Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly)—tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix, Jr. (voice of Jack McBrayer), the “good guy” star of their game—sets off on a quest to prove he’s got what it takes to be a hero. The film also features the voices of Jane Lynch and Sarah Silverman.
Level 1 is the Game Central Station, populated by the following characters.
Wreck-It Ralph: Bad Guys Finish Last. Ralph is a heavy-handed wrecking’ riot with a heart. For 30 years, day in, day out, he’s been doing his job as “The Bad Guy” in the arcade game Fix-it Felix Jr. But it’s getting harder and harder to love his job when no one seems to like him for doing it. Suffering from a classic case of Bad-Guy fatigue and hungry for a little wreck-ognition, Ralph embarks on a wild adventure across an incredible arcade-game universe to prove that just because he’s a Bad Guy, it doesn’t mean he’s a bad guy.
M. Bison: The Eyes Have It. A uniformed villain from “Street Fighter,” M. Bison tames his bad-guy habits at Bad-Anon.
Zangief: Not a Bad Guy. Zangief, the muscle-bound, hairy-chested, Mohawked wrestler from “Street Fighter,” is a regular at the Bad-Anon meetings.
Q*Bert: Unplugged. Q*Bert, whose game was long ago unplugged, spends most of his time in Game Central Station, the travel hub for all arcade-game characters and the unfortunate home to those whose games are over.
Neff: Purple’s the New Black. As “Altered Beast’s” resident evil wizard, Neff is a natural for the Bad-Anon meeting roster.
Surge Protector: The One with the Clipboard. With the duties of a high school hall monitor and the officiousness of a mall rent-a-cop, this straight-laced civil servant is more hassle than help. But electrical voltage spikes are no laughing matter.
Coily: Bouncing Purple Snake. Once the bouncing purple villain in the Q*Bert arcade game, Coily finds himself hanging with his former adversary in Game Central Station after their game is unplugged.
Watch for the characters in Levels 2 to 4 in the next few days!
Opening across the Philippines in Nov. 01 in Disney Digital 3D and regular theaters, “Wreck-It Ralph” is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International through Columbia Pictures.
