The 52nd [[Disney Animated Canon|animated film from Disney's canon line-up]], ''Wreck-It Ralph'' is about the antagonist of a [[The Eighties|1980s]] eight-bit video game starring Fix-It Felix Jr. ([[30 Rock|Jack McBrayer]]), as one of the many machines in an arcade center. Ralph (John C. Reilly) is the not-really-villainous villain who just wants a little friendship, a little respect, and a little recognition for making the game ''possible''. When an attempt to socialize with the rest of the game's population catastrophically fails, resulting in a sarcastic challenge to prove himself a hero, Ralph "pulls a Turbo" in the parlance of the arcade population, and jumps from his game through their shared power strip to one of the newest ones in the arcade -- the sci-fi [[FPS]] ''Hero's Duty''. There, he learns that the medal he needs to prove himself a hero to the inhabitants of his native game is at the top of a tower filled with "bugs" -- vicious, fast-breeding alien monsters.

Dodging both the monsters and the abrasive Sergeant Calhoun ([[Glee|Jane Lynch]]), Ralph makes it to the top of the tower and gets the medal he needs -- only to accidentally awake all the aliens who are sleeping between plays of the game. Escaping the tower in a tiny fighter craft (and accidentally carrying along an alien egg), Ralph accidentally leaves ''Hero's Duty'' and crash lands in ''Sugar Rush'', a Japanese [[Racing Game]] that's equal parts ''[[Mario Kart]]'' and ''[[Candyland]]''. There he loses both the medal and the fighter, and encounters the supremely annoying Vanellope Von Schweetz ([[Sarah Silverman]]) -- a "glitch" character despised by the other racers in the game and hunted by the forces of King Candy, ''Sugar Rush'''s beloved (?) ruler. Ralph ends up helping Vanellope build a race car of her own as part of a deal to get his medal back and in doing so runs afoul of King Candy as well.

Line 43:

* [[Good Costume Switch]]: Implied with leaked art of Ralph in [[Super Mario Bros.|a familiar red and blue]] color scheme versus the orange and brown seen in the game art and official screens.

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Ralph attempts to pull this off.

* [[~~Hundred-Percent~~ Adoration Rating]]: Felix, from those he rescues in his game (i.e., everyone). This doesn't help Ralph's self-esteem.

* [[100% Adoration Rating]]: Felix, from those he rescues in his game (i.e., everyone). This doesn't help Ralph's self-esteem.

* [[Ink Suit Actor]]: Ralph, Felix, Vanellope and Calhoun each bear at least a slight resemblance to their voice actors.

* [[Intelligible Unintelligible]]: Q*bert, with Felix having to translate.

* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: The trailer alone confirms cameos from characters created by Nintendo, Sega, Capcom, Namco, and Midway.

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: "When did video games become so violent and scary?!"

* [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]]: Surprisingly averted.

* [[Level Ate]]: The ''Sugar Rush'' world is made of candy.

Line 57:

* [[Retraux]]: The ''Wreck-It Ralph'' arcade game is made to look like it was made in the 80s.

** [http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMjI2OTgyNDQ5NF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNTE2Njg2Nw@@._V1._SY317_.jpg The teaser poster] is simply an 8-bit sprite of Ralph's head. They sure are banking on the [[Nostalgia Filter]].

* [[Shout-Out]]: Game Central Station, located in the powerstrip for all the arcade machines, is obviously one to [[Big Applesauce|Grand Central Station.]]

** Every character seen in the background of scenes set in Game Central Station is one as well.
