‘Wreck-It Ralph’ Soundtrack to Feature Music by Skrillex, AKB48, Owl City and More

Posted on September 13, 2012 by Stitch Kingdom 2 Comments

The story of an arcade-game bad guy who embarks on a quest to prove he’s really a good guy, Wreck-It Ralph journeys through wildly diverse arcade-game worlds, including the ’80s-era, 8-bit video-game world of Fix-It Felix, Jr., the ultra-modern first-person shooter game Hero’s Duty and the candy-coated cart-racing game Sugar Rush. Helping to differentiate these worlds from one another are unique cinematography, animation, effects and music. ‘Music is another way to set the stage and make these worlds completely different,’ said producer Clark Spencer.

Watch New ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ Trailer — It’s Your Duty and It Doesn’t Stink

Posted on September 12, 2012 by Stitch Kingdom Leave a comment

Yahoo! Movies has debuted the newest trailer for Wreck-It Ralph from Walt Disney Animation Studios. Set to background music including ‘Funky Town’ by Lipps Inc and ‘Some Nights’ by FUN., the trailer takes a better look at Ralph’s plight to become more than just the bad guy as he departs from his home of thirty years to explore other options, landing him in games such as ‘Hero’s Duty’ and ‘Sugar Rush,’ where he (eventually) finds a kindrid spirit in Vanellope von Schweetz, a glitch who feels out of her place in her own world too.

Walt Disney Animation Studios has provided us with this new hi-res still from its upcoming release, Wreck-It Ralph, which debuts in theaters on November 2, 2012.

Walt Disney Animation Studios and Walt Disney Studios have provided us new hi-res stills from their upcoming films Wreck-It Ralph (November 2, 2012) and Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie (October 5, 2012).

In the new still from Wreck-It Ralph, which has been added to the beginning of our gallery of stills below, Ralph and his fellow baddies are returning from a BadAnon meeting where the mantra ‘I am bad and that’s good, I will never be good and that’s not bad’ reigns supreme but does not seem to ring true for the would-be hero who’s seen here clutching the cherries he took after entering the Pac-Man game via Game Central Station.

Posted on July 16, 2012 by Stitch Kingdom 2 Comments

After SEGA’s iconic character Sonic the Hedgehog was spotted as the face of keeping order in Wreck-It Ralph’s Game Central Station during a clip played during the Walt Disney Studios presentation at San Diego Comic-Con, it’s only natural that life imitate art and that Ralph himself would appear alongside Sonic on the small screen as well.

'Wreck-It Ralph' Fix It Felix Jr Arcade Game

As part of the marketing campaign for Walt Disney Animation’s Wreck-It Ralph, the studio plans on introducing full-scale arcade cabinet versions of the film’s ‘Fix It Felix Jr.’ game, the home of the title character. While the cabinet has appeared at both Disney D23 Expo (as a view-only demo) and most recently at E3 as a broken, non-functioning machine, San Diego Comic-Con saw the first actual working versions of the faux-c. 1982 video game manufactured by the defunct TobiKomi video game company.

HEART, IMAGINATION… AND PAPER ©2012 Disney. All Rights Reserved.

The whistle almost blew calling for quitting time, but after what seems like months of teasing, Walt Disney Animation Studios has finally provided us with these hi-res first images from John Kahrs’ revolutionary short, Paperman, which will play before Wreck-It Ralph in theaters beginning November 2, 2012.

In the revolutionary short, which uses a combination of hand-drawn animation with computer graphics, a young New Yorker has only his heart, imagination and a stack of papers to get the attention of the girl of his dreams. Paperman is an innovative short about destiny and the power of second chances.
