The upcoming Disney animated pic WRECK-IT RALPH, starring John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jane Lynch, and Jack McBrayer has a new international trailer featuring more game-hopping footage and techno music to drive the point home that this will likely be a fun, energetic movie with plenty of nods to new and old videogame favorites. The concept for this is great and based on all the promos we’ve seen thus far this new one is just icing on the cake. I don’t know that WRECK-IT RALPH will be an instant classic, but it does look like a blast.
Start hoppin’:
Looks like a damn good time, no? It’s a good ol’ fashioned high-concept adventure, which can be hit or miss, but it looks like they may have a winner on their hands with this. Out of all the movies I’ll be taking my youngster to this Fall, WRECK IT RALPH is the one I’m looking most forward to.
Here’s the synopsis:
Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore (TV’s “The Simpsons,” “Futurama”) take moviegoers on a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping journey in “Wreck-It Ralph.” Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly, “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,” “Step Brothers”) is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix (voice of Jack McBrayer, “30 Rock”), the “good guy” star of their game who always gets to save the day. But after decades doing the same thing and seeing all the glory go to Felix, Ralph decides he’s tired of playing the role of a bad guy. He takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a game-hopping journey across the arcade through every generation of video games to prove he’s got what it takes to be a hero.
On his quest, he meets the tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch, TV’s “Glee”) from the first-person action game Hero’s Duty. But it’s the feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman, “The Sarah Silverman Program”) from the candy-coated cart racing game, Sugar Rush, whose world is threatened when Ralph accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens the entire arcade. Will Ralph realize his dream and save the day before it’s too late?
WRECK IT RALPH hits theaters in 2D and 3D on November 2, 2013.
