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. Check Fix-It Felix out below!
LEVEL 2: FIX-IT FELIX, JR.
Fix-It Felix Jr.: The All-Around Good Guy
Felix
is the popular star of Fix-It Felix Jr. and Niceland’s hammer-wielding
maintenance man who’s beloved by all. When he is not busy fixin’ all of
Ralph’s wreckin’, this gold-medal-winning good guy is being showered
with kisses, praise and pies from his tenants. Hardwired for niceness,
anything other than being “The Good Guy” just doesn’t compute.

Gene: Pint-Sized Party Planner
Gene
is the blocky, pint-sized leader of the Nicelanders—the window-filling
victims of Ralph’s destruction in the game Fix-It Felix Jr. Like his
fellow apartment residents in peril, Gene worships Felix and despises
Ralph. In his spare time, Gene plans cocktail parties, but is always
sure to leave Ralph off the guest list: To Gene, Ralph’s just a bad guy
and that’s all he’ll ever be.

The Nicelanders: Apartment-Dwelling Residents in Peril
When
they aren’t playing the victims in Fix-It Felix Jr., the Nicelanders
live to worship Felix and criticize Ralph. Responsible for baking
power-boosting pies to aid the good guy’s in-game mission, the fawning
fans of Felix spend their free time planning cocktail parties - but they
are always sure to leave Ralph off the guest list. These blocky,
pint-size window dwellers, including Gene, Roy and Mary, can’t seem to
get past Ralph’s title - and the wreck-less behavior that goes with it.
Nothing short of a heroic miracle could convince them to include Ralph
in their lives.
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.
