‘Wreck-It Ralph’ on Digital Download Weeks Before Blu-ray
Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment today announced that Wreck-it Ralph from Walt Disney Animation Studios would be available for digital download on February 12, nearly one month before the 3D Blu-ray and its variants are available to purchase on March 5.
According to the announcement, the download (available as both high definition and standard definition formats), will include all of the aforementioned Blu-ray bonus features with exception to the Disney Intermission featuring Chris Hardwick.
This move marks a first for the company, although the move is not unprecedented as Disney was one of the first to release Blu-ray discs weeks before their DVD-only counterparts and is indicative of the company moving closer to the Disney Movies Anywhere initiative.

‘Wreck-It Ralph’ Features Include ‘Paperman,’ Disney Intermission with Chris Hardwick
Ahead of any official announcement, we have received a list of the bonus features that will be available when Wreck It Ralph from Walt Disney Animation Studios becomes available to own on 3D Blu-ray on March 5 (now available for pre-order
).
First up is confirmation that Paperman, the groundbreaking short that played before Wreck-it Ralph in theaters will be included as one of the Blu-ray bonus features.
The Blu-ray will also include Disney’s new favorite element, Disney Intermission, which is a special viewing mode that takes place when you put the film on pause. This time around, Disney Intermission consists of ‘The Gamer’s Guide to Wreck-It Ralph,’ hosted by Nerdist Chris Hardwick.
Also included is a documentary titled ‘Bit By Bit: Creating The Worlds Of Wreck-It Ralph’ where viewers ‘game jump through the worlds of the film with the filmmakers, artists and animators who created it.’
In addition, the Blu-ray bonus features include the viral faux commercials for Fix-It Felix, Jr., Hero’s Duty and Sugar Rush plus deleted and alternate scenes.
We will provide more information as it becomes available to us.
UPDATE #1: 1/3/13 – We have received additional details via the official press release. There will be four alternate/deleted scenes, each with an introduction and optional commentary by director Rich Moore. Additionally, the Disney Intermission with Chris Hardwick will feature ten segments offering an inside look at the many video game references, Disney references and other hidden surprises featured in the film.
UPDATE #2: 1/3/13 – Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment has announced that the film will be released via digital download on February 12, well ahead of the Blu-ray.

‘Wreck-It Ralph’ Sgt. Calhoun Limited Edition Doll Now Available
Listen up, soldiers: the kitten whispers and tickle fights stop now. With one of the smallest production runs outside of its 25th Anniversary collection, Disney Store is now offering a 17″ collector’s doll version of Sergeant Tamora Jean Calhoun. Already equipped with the most tragic backstory ever, this faithful replica of the new character voiced by Jane Lynch as seen in the ‘Hero’s Duty’ game in Wreck-It Ralph is limited to an edition size of just 1000 pieces.
Complete in her own deluxe collector’s edition box with display stand, the Sgt. Calhoun doll comes dressed in a black bodysuit augmented by charcoal gray articulated body armor for ‘maximum mobility and protection,’ and is equipped with both a blaster rifle with shoulder strap and a hand blaster with holster.
At just 1000 pieces, chances are she may be sold out or close to it by the time you read this, so if you’re interested in purchasing the doll, you should do so as soon as possible.

‘Wreck-It Ralph’ Hi-Res Triptych, ‘Felix Meets Sgt. Calhoun’ Clip
In honor of Wreck-It Ralph‘s debut in theaters tomorrow, Walt Disney Animation Studios has provided us with this hi-res image which they refer to as a standee, but essentially amounts to a triptych which combines the worlds of ‘Sugar Rush,’ ‘Fix-It Felix Jr.’ and ‘Hero’s Duty.’ Unfortunately the original image is a bit too large to share here, but we trimmed it down just enough to fit, so be sure to click on the image to expand it, then find and click on the resize arrow to see it at its much larger version.
Also, Walt Disney Animation Studios has released a new clip from the film, titled ‘Felix Meets Sgt. Calhoun,’ in which Fix-It Felix r. — on a quest to bring back Wreck-It Ralph from ‘Hero’s Duty’ — has a chance encounter with Sgt. Tammy Calhoun of the Space Marines, in a moment we believe could only be topped if it broke into slow-motion with Gary Wright’s ‘Dreamweaver’ blasting in the background. If only it weren’t for those pesky Cy-bugs.

‘Wreck-It Ralph’ Concept Art for Nintendo Wii, DS and 3DS Video Game
With just under a week to go before it releases its adaptation of ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ the video game for the Nintendo Wii, Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS, Activision has teased us with new concept art for the game featuring the dreaded cy-bugs from ‘Hero’s Duty.’
Here we get to see several variations of the cy-bugs including a juvenile (presumably freshly hatched from its egg), a flying minion, a lamp cy-bug (which has a few special secrets of its own) and the Queen, who dwarfs 9′ tall Ralph in this art.
As per the Amazon.com description, features of the game include: the ability to swap avatars on-the-fly, meaning you opt to use Ralph to destroy objects or Fix-It Felix to repair them; collecting medals and Easter eggs; varying levels of play; and four environments based on the movie.
Earlier this month, Walt Disney Animation Studios released this teaser video of the game (which doesn’t provide much of anything short of the promise the game is coming):
‘Wreck-It Ralph’ the video game from Activision will be available in North America on October 30, 2012

‘Wreck-It Ralph’ Clip ‘Bad Guys Second Thoughts’
Walt Disney Animation Studios has released a new clip from its upcoming film, Wreck-It Ralph, titled ‘Bad Guys Second Thoughts.’ In the clip, Ralph shares his aspirations to overcome the hurdle as being known as the ‘bad guy’ and his desire to achieve recognition and a medal at the local Bad-Anon meeting. The news leads to worries that Ralph may be ‘going Turbo’ by wishing to play cards beyond those that were dealt to him.
After a brief lecture from Clyde of Pac-Man fame, the meeting adjourns with the daily bad guy affirmation: I’m bad and that’s good. I will never be good and that’s not bad. There is noone I’d rather be than me.
Wreck-It Ralph debuts in theaters nationwide on November 2, 2012.

‘Wreck-It Ralph’ Hi-Res Concept Art, Stills
Walt Disney Animation Studios has provided us with several new hi-res stills and concept art from its upcoming film, Wreck-It Ralph. The new images have been added to the beginning of their respective galleries below. Some of these images may have been seen elsewhere before but as we have just received them, we’ve added them to complete our libraries.
Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore take moviegoers on a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping journey in Wreck-It Ralph. Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix (voice of Jack McBrayer), 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) from the first-person action game Hero’s Duty. But it’s the feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman) 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’ Clip, ‘Hero’s Duty’
Walt Disney Animation Studios has released a new clip from its upcoming film, Wreck-It Ralph, which debuts in theaters nationwide on November 2, 2012. In the clip, titled (appropriately enough) ‘Hero’s Duty,’ we catch up with Ralph as he enters the first person shooter game, having assumed the identity of one of the game’s regulars, in an attempt to conquer the tower and claim the medal as his own.
Wreck-It Ralph (voice of Reilly) longs to be as beloved as his game’s perfect Good Guy, Fix-It Felix (voice of McBrayer). Problem is, nobody loves a Bad Guy. But they do love heroes… so when a modern, first-person shooter game arrives featuring tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Lynch), Ralph sees it as his ticket to heroism and happiness. He sneaks into the game with a simple plan—win a medal—but soon wrecks everything, and accidently unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens every game in the arcade. Ralph’s only hope? Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Silverman), a young troublemaking “glitch” from a candy-coated cart racing game who might just be the one to teach Ralph what it means to be a Good Guy. But will he realize he is good enough to become a hero before it’s “Game Over” for the entire arcade?
