Can't wait to watch Wreck-It Ralph after watching its movie trailer #2! My favourite part is when all the 'bad guys' recite their creed around the 1:56 min mark. Share with us which is your favourite quotes/moments under the comments below!

"I am bad. And that's good.
I will never be good, and that's not bad.
There's no one I rather be, than me."

The message seems to be telling us that despite our differences, it is important that we accept and love who we are. Find out more about Wreck-It Ralph below!

LEVEL 1: GAME CENTRAL STATION

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.

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.

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.

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.

Do You Know?
The game companies were specific in the way how their characters were being used in the movie, Wreck-It Ralph.

In an interview with Total Film, producer Clark Spencer points out that there was lots of conversation about which character would be the biggest character in that Bad Anon scene, even to the specifics of centimetres and that he was fascinated that all of the companies know how tall their characters are.

"We had a scene where we wanted the rings to come out of Sonic, and SEGA said the only way that happens is if he falls over, and we didn't have him fall over in the scene, so we actually went back and re-animated it." says the producer.

Also according to Disney wikia's List of cameos in Wreck-It Ralph, we have:

Nintendo: Bowser from Super Mario Bros.
Sega: Sonic the Hedgehog and Dr. Robotnik (Eggman) from Sonic the Hedgehog, Neff from Altered Beast, and Cyril the Zombie from House of the Dead
Capcom: Zangief, Chun-Li, Cammy, Ken, Ryu and M. Bison from Street Fighter II; Dr. Wily from Mega Man
Namco Bandai: Clyde from Pac-Man, Dig-Dug from Dig-Dug
Gottlieb: Q*bert, Coily, Slick and Ugg from Q*bert
Midway: Kano and Smoke from Mortal Kombat. Paperboy from Paperboy, and Bartender from Tapper.
