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. Now, would you hit a guy with glasses?
LEVEL 4: SUGAR RUSH
Vanellope von Schweetz: Hard Candy
Known
as “The Glitch,” Vanellope is a pixelating programming mistake in the
candy-coated cart-racing game Sugar Rush. With a racer’s spirit embedded
in her coding, Vanellope is determined to earn her place in the
starting lineup amongst the other racers. Only problem: the other racers
don’t want her or her glitching in the game. Years of rejection have
left Vanellope with a wicked sense of humor and a razor-sharp tongue.
However, somewhere beneath that hard shell is a sweet center just
waiting to be revealed.

King Candy: King of All That’s Sweet
All
hail King Candy—ruler of the race track, captain of confectionary,
sovereign of sugar. Not surprisingly, the most powerful figure in the
Sugar Rush game is also the best racer on the track. He may look noble
enough, but don’t be fooled—this mysterious monarch rules his kingdom
with a sugary fist and he is determined to keep his kingdom safe from
glitches, rabble-rousers and outsiders. Don’t expect him to go easy on
Ralph and Vanellope. The King is ably assisted by his strong-arming
security donuts, Wynnchel and Duncan, and his diminutive henchman Sour
Bill, a tiny little ball of unsweetness.

Sour Bill: A Tiny Little Ball of Unsweetness
As
King Candy’s diminutive henchman, Sour Bill is often left to handle the
stickier situations—but this long-faced little ball isn’t exactly happy
about his depressing duties.
--
Wynnchel & Duncan: Strong-Arming Security
Wynnchel
and Duncan are King Candy’s muscle, ensuring order in the Sugar Rush
community. Just don’t make ‘em mad or their frosting might melt.

Taffyta Muttonfudge: Serious Competition
The
lollipop-lickin’ Taffyta Muttonfudge is a top-notch racer in the game
Sugar Rush. She is a fierce competitor who keeps her eyes on the prize
and isn’t afraid to derail anyone who gets in her way. Though King Candy
is Sugar Rush’s reigning racing champion, Taffyta always manages to
give him a run for his money with her wicked driving skills.

Snowanna Rainbeau: Cool Chick
A
Sugar Rush racer with some serious style, Snowanna Rainbeau is a
vivacious young spirit with a personality as loud and colorful as her
hairdo. With a boogying beat in her soul, she’s as cool as ice! Watch
out racers, she’ll lay down a funky track with her chilling charm and
you’ll never see it coming!
--
Rancis Fluggerbutter: Love Thy Self
This
blazer-wearing boy wonder likes looking in the mirror almost as much as
he likes racing. Rancis Fluggerbutter may look like a party on the
outside, but he’s all business on the inside. He has bright eyes and
even brighter ideas, which are reflected in his smooth racing
techniques.
--
Gloyd Orangeboar: Prankster with a Sweet Tooth
Round-faced
little hooligan Gloyd Orangeboar loves nothing more than candy, candy,
candy! Fortunately for him, Sugar Rush has plenty to choose from and he
enjoys it all. For this fast-racing prankster, every day is Halloween.
--
Crumbelina DiCaramello: Likes it Luxe
With
the exterior of a polished piece of peppermint, Crumbelina DiCaramello
is the poshest racer in Sugar Rush. But when it comes to racing,
extravagance and wealth don’t distract DiCaramello: She considers
herself a down-and-dirty racer.
--
Candlehead: Happy Hot Head
Candlehead
is a riot who’s able to laugh at herself—even when she’s the butt of
the joke. Hynotized by the flame atop her own head, she gets lost in a
haze of Happy Birthdays. Sugar Rush and its daily races wouldn’t be
complete without Candlehead, but she’s a few scoops short of a sundae.
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
