If you recall, psybugs become what they eat. I don’t remember if it was actually confirmed or not but when the psybug broke into the church on Calhoun’s wedding, it ate the groom. The next shot is an absolutely terrified Calhoun blasting away. It’s safe to assume she was firing at a psybug version of her husband-to-be. It makes that scene more heart breaking.
That also makes no sense, since *Metal Gear* never had an Arcade Title, so there's no way that thing can be there. I also wonder how *Ralph* may know the name of *Lara Croft,* since there aren't *Tomb Raider* Arcade titles either.
@@Edheldui I found a person of culture. Still, if I'm not wrong, that game was only released in Japan and there were no exclamations point icons in that. You may suppose the owner got his hands on one of those cabinets, but the game would have been pretty useless, without an Internet connection (and we know that's not a thing, until the next movie).
Great reaction! The scene with Ralph destroying Vanellope’s car always makes me cry. The voice actress does such a good job with those heartbreaking screams.
The amount of worldbuilding in this movie practically requires a lot of exposition. To the filmmakers' credit, they spread it out throughout the movie, so it's not hitting you all at once. Note how often they drop hints of "going Turbo" before actually explaining who Turbo was and why it's important.
One of my favorite little hidden bits is Gene. In the opening cut scene of their game, Ralph always punches through the wall, grabs Gene and throws him off-screen. I think that is why Gene has such a grudge against him. Every game, and probably, every level, he has to put up with that from Ralph. For 30 years. That would make, almost, anybody bitter.

The orange thing is called Q-Bert and the purple snake is an enemy in the game. It's a pretty fun classic arcade game =) And yes, he talks like that XD ;) I just realised and I'm pretty sure of it, the zombie with the axes is from House of the Dead (another great, fun arcade game =)
I recognize the zombie from House of the Dead too! It’s one of my favorite light gun games. I also just found out from the remake that the hatchet zombie has a name. He’s Cyril.
early in my stage acting career, I was seemingly chosen to play every villain in a production that I auditioned for, and I didn't know anything about being a "bad guy" because it just wasn't my persona. But I gave it a shot and did my best for each role, and it turned out that I wasn't bad at it, either. People who knew me saw my performances and were really shocked that I could play characters like that. Even so, I was getting a little tired of being the bad guy, just like Ralph. Eventually I had my own Wreck It Ralph moment and learned that putting on a production was a team effort, and those roles were just part of it for the story we were all telling. Once I got that, my evil villain performances were so much easier for me to do. years later, my roles as villains became less and less as I got older, and I was chosen more for comedic roles and I had the audiences rolling down the isles with laughter.
Oh dear, someone is dangerously close to going turbo. Now repeat after me... "I am bad, but that is good..." "I will never be good, but that is not bad..." 😁
The villain character is typically the best. More flexibility on what they can do (don't have to follow rules), and the story is nothing without a good villain.
@@kgjung2310 I came to love playing the villain. and there were productions at a church I was a member of that had the best drama ministry I'd ever seen, and they didn't know what they were getting when I joined that ministry! the first production I did with them was, of course, the story of Jesus during the Easter season and I was chosen to play Ciaphas, the Jewish high priest (it was the only speaking part left, and no one wanted to play the bad guy😱!) So of course I took it! the previous Passion Play my church did just the year before had someone else playing Ciaphas, and you could see that he just did not want that part, he wasn't convincing... poor performance. the year later I took the part, and everyone was surprised! and everyone was like: "Oh! This guy knows what he's doing!" during one practice, my wife (who was also in the play as a member of the choir) told me that while we were practicing the scenes I was in, a couple of ladies in the choir heard me as I was speaking my lines on stage, and they said out loud, "Did the church hire a professional actor??" my wife turned to them and replied, "No, that's just my husband..." a few of the other actors involved in the Passion Play were already friends of mine and had been in the play for years, always playing the same roles. some of them didn't really take their roles too seriously, I guess dialing back the intensity of what Jesus really faced for the audience... and then I came along and played my character the way I did, and I guess inspired them to take their roles more seriously, and the production was no longer sugar-coated for the audience, and it made for a much better production. at the end of each performance, the actors, still in costume, were in the foyer to greet the audience as they left. Kid's eyes were as big as saucers when they saw me; people shook my hands and told me what a great job I did; someone from across the foyer saw me and yelled out how great of a legalist I played. the church's pastor came up to me and shook my hand, then made a point of taking a large step backwards... he said that WHEN I get struck by lightning, he didn't want to get hit! the director of the drama ministry of that church was an amazing actor himself, and like me he was a professional actor, too. he played Pontius Pilat for the play, and when I saw him on stage, I wanted to be in the audience enjoying his performance!🤩

The orange ball with the big nose is Q*Bert, and the purple snake is Coily, an enemy from that game. Q*Bert has a pyramid made out of large cubes depicted in pseudo 3D. and the goal of each level is to change the tops of all the cubes to the same color by jumping on them. Coily will chase you around the level, and other enemies will drop down onto the top cube and work their way down. Later levels require you to jump on the cubes multiple times. Discs on the sides of the pyramid will transport you back to the top, while luring Coily to jump off to his (temporary) death. Disney made simple online versions of both Fix It Felix Jr. and Sugar Rush, however fans have since ported Fix It Felix Jr. to at least the Commodore 64, Sega Genesis, Commodore Amiga, and Gameboy.

I was surprised George didn't reference it when Ralph stepped on the eggs and spawned all the bugs, because that was my first thought when I saw that scene
Fun fact: Alan Tudyk voiced King Candy / Turbo. Like John Ratzenberger had a 25-year run in appearing in every Pixar movie, Alan Tudyk is "the good luck charm" of Disney animation studios and has appeared in every release since 2012. There's my trivia, now here's my request: Please consider watching and commenting on Resident Alien! The show is arguably Alan Tudyk at his finest. The first season was brilliant, and the following seasons are at times less consistently amazing but still very much worth watching. Minor spoiler, Captain Reynolds himself has a small recurring role during a run of episodes in season 2, and it's awesome. If you guys really enjoyed Firefly as much as it looked like you did, you really need to see Resident Alien!
As soon as I think Simone couldn't possibly be any cuter, you guys digitize the thumbnail. Great work! I was so excited for you to react to this one. It's ine of my favorite animated films because of how tight the story is, and how well the creators really paid attention to video game culture and tropes. Also, the fact that the cops are doughnuts, and named Duncan (Dunkin') and Winchell (Winchell's Donut House), is a wonderful nod to 1980s Saturday culture-the day when the arcades were usually the busiest.
Omg your reactions to the twist were AMAZING!! I remember seeing that as kid for the first time and having my mind blown, and imo it's one of the best in any animated movie
I’ll never forget being in the theatre and being the only one who laughed when they did the up down up down b a select start joke for the chest opening. Full theatre with kids and parents. Me a 20 something year old. Stay well guys. You have done a lot for me mentally. It probably sounds strange or creepy but you guys bring me joy watching things I can relate to, when I see the same emotions I would have, it makes me feel normal.
One of my very favorite animated films. It makes me tear up at least three times. Every time Vanellope’s cart gets wrecked by her bullies or Ralph it makes me sad. It triggers every time I see bullying in the form of breaking something you love. And of course the ending makes me emotional when Ralph says that all the hoops he has to jump through are worth if that one girl who’s his friend thinks he’s special. That gets me every time.
@@vkdeen7570 Too true. I consider myself to only have two good friends. Everyone else is expendable. Lol. But my feeling is that is only the case because I have my two. Without them, I’d be so much more anxious about not pissing off or doing anything to make people dislike me.
@mojoshivers exactly. ppl just need someone to believe in them. 1 teacher believing in u can change ur school life. 1 girl/guy liking u can change ur entire self esteem... etc etc u can really empathise with ralph and that makes the story impactful. blood the turbo twist is amazing
@@vkdeen7570 Like I said, this film is triggering with each watch. And that’s entirely due to feeling like Vanellope and Ralph have felt by other’s treatment of me. There’s something universal in feeling like, to quote Nobody Wants This, the loser friend, the loser brother, or the loser co-worker/
I played the original Tapper at my local arcade (no one protested), and thought it was really fun. Then years later I was confused when I started to see "Root Beer Tapper" referenced in media and appearing in arcade game compilations on consoles. I was like _Root Beer_ Tapper?! What the hell is this weak sauce?!? 😄
@@Johnny_Socko Add that to the Gen X lore: blood full of lead, drinking from garden hoses as we run feral through the streets, playing video games with overt alcohol themes ... and cosplaying smoking with candy cigarettes!
King Candy/Turbo (wearing glasses): "You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses?" Wreck-It Ralph takes the glasses and hits King Candy/Turbo on the head, with glasses. Got to love quick visual puns like that.
No joke, Wreck it Ralph is one of the best movies out there, so many good messages, good story, great characrters, the nostalgia aspect, and THE TWIST! It's SO good.
The last minute makes me cry every time. In general, people don't like me but my roommates daughter thinks I'm the coolest person. I totally relate to this movie.
Fun story: Nintendo gave the movie team a lot of restrictions to let Bowser be in there, but one in particular is particularly funny. They were not satisfied with how Bowser was holding his teacup in the villains meeting, they then proceeded on giving very particular directives on how he would hold it and they HAD to change it. Big N does not joke around with character representation, even for a moment this small.
George laughs at the “❗️”. Me: “lol He knows about Metal Gear Solid. Nice.” Also George: “It’s a random quest mark.” Me: “……… Dammit George, you failed us….”
To be fair, I don't think Metal Gear Solid had an arcade game. I guess it has a Pachinko machine, but what are the odds a Japanese-only thing like that made it into that arcade.
@@iansrife5107 Arcades aside, the Metal Gear ❗️ is iconic. Tons of games have exclamation markers, especially from way back when, but Metal Gear made it memorable. Hard to have any familiarity with video games and not know it.
I saw a reactor who made a good comparison about how everyone else treats Ralph at first; it's like if everyone was actors and everyone on set hated on the person who played the bad guy. 😂
@@robertyeah2259Ya, that one just irritates me. How people can be pissed off at a young man for playing an evil role so well that we all properly hated as we were supposed to is crazy. Some people are just really not right in the head if they can’t separate the characters from the actors.
talladega nights ballad of ricky Bobby reunion, wreck it Ralph (John c Riley) is Ricky’s best friend, the solider women (Jane Lynch) is Ricky’s mom, and fix it Felix(Jack McBrayer) is Glenn one of the silly mechanics
This movie is a lot of fun. Granted, it is pretty similar to Toy Story. Where instead of knowing the secret life of toys, it’s the secret life of video game characters. But, at least they do it in a very fun way. Like, each game in the arcade is some really expansive world building.
The DJ at the party at the beginning was Skrillex, he asked to be in the movie in exchange of the music that plays when Ralph goes to Heroe's Duty, named apropiately "Bug Hunt". In another reaction I saw some details that were telling King Candy was Turbo all along. First, his design, all racers besides him were kids, he was an old man. Second, the decoration of the castle, it looked more fit for a little girl. And this is one I noticed, most characters say to not mess with the code as if it was a tabu, but King Candy does with a lot of familiarity.
It's impressive they managed to make the Turbo reveal work, considering he has the exact same voice as the mayor, and it's so recognisable from other Disney cartoons.
Sarah Silverman as Vanellope is one of the all-time best voice artist performances on screen. The range from incredibly cute and charismatic to betrayed and hopeless is remarkably evocative as well as all her adorable little quirks and jokes. It's fantastic work!
I remember a friend of mine saying, watch that scene with your eyes closed and only open them after the carts been destroyed... 0)_(0 Should not have done that then....
Fun Fact: King Candy actually asked "Ralph are you going turbo?" But we learned that Hero's duty and Sugar rush just got plugged in so he wouldn't have understood the phrase. ALSO 😂😂😂😂 ahahahahaha I feast upon your tears ahahhahahaha your pain! 😂😂😂
26:44 It’s funny you mention that George cause I always thought that Pennywise in his dumb spider clown form in Chapter Two looked like a Dollar Store version of the bug boss final form of King Candy.🤣
@@Cau_No I like the character, but man did I get annoyed with the game on NES back in the day. For some reason I always would end up jumping the wrong way at some point because of the board being offset from the D-pad. It just caused confusion in my young brain I guess.
I remember when they took the Tapper out of the local arcade and that's when I learned some people have too much time on their hands and an excessive desire for undeserved attention. She just kept ranting at the person unplugging it even as she was getting her way. We never got the Root Beer Tapper, no great loss. I was always a Joust fan.
Something that not many people think about with the wedding scene: Cybugs become what they eat. The Cybug ate her husband. She had to pump a monster full of lead that wore her husband's face, and probably had his voice.
it was also controversial amongst lovers of old school arcade machines, as they had many more made to adorn theatre lobbies and they were made converting actual Nintendo Donkey Kong arcade machines which in itself is a collectible machine and getting rarer.
The whole 1st half of the credits includes a fully animated music video for the "Owl City" track "When can I see you again" where Ralph and the gang run around the credit blocks, from the bugs. :)
Even if you don’t like, or know, anything about video games, and totally miss all of the references and Easter eggs, this is still such a great movie. Besides ‘Up’, this is my favorite of the newer Disney/Pixar movies.
I have to say the most sarcastic thank you possible for the whole "never played Pac-Man on an actual machine" line. Never felt so old in my life. 😂 And Tapper came out way before Mario, so he was not a Mario rip off.
Not quite - Tapper came out in '84, while the first canonical Mario game, "Mario Bros.", came out in '83, and Mario's first unnamed appearance (technically named Jumpman but later retconned to Mario by Nintendo) was in 1981's Donkey Kong.
When the show the tunnel entrance to the Grand Central area in the beginning, there's a graffiti on the wall that says "Aeris was here" and you can see the Metal Gear "!" In the lost in found box at Tapper's. Edit:Going Turbo is another term for "out of control" such as when (example: if you activate Turbo on a controller and hold down the button it helps when button mashing) Example:1 The Metal Gear Solid torture mini game can be beaten by going turbo, example 2 in the Legend of Dragoon when using magic you can use Turbo and increase the damage holding the X button
the saying a story/hero being only as good as its villain is for real you know. there is even a saying that having a worthy/great enemy is much better than having a incopetent ally. so appreciate the villains.
The biggest hint at king candys true identity, is how out of place king candy's design is. All of the other races have a very "anime" like design, and are all kids, but king candys design is very generic 80s amarican cartoon, feels way more retro, and is NOT a kid. He stands out like a sore thumb, like he's not to the game and had to come up with something that he thinks would fit
This movie is special for my wife and I. This was on of the several movies our first kiddo watched a million times once he saw it. Each movie had like a phase. We always loved this one with him. Now he's 8 and we rewatched it with him last month. This one was fantastic. But like a lot of the sequels we didn't like the other one.
Yaaay.. another my favourite on your channel!!❤❤ Three scenes that made me cry: 1. Ralph breaks Vanellope's car 2. Ralph's monologue when he superman dives onto the coca cola mountain 3. Ralph's quote: "if that little girl likes me, how bad can I be?" Lots of love for you guys from Indonesia!!❤❤🤗🤗
"That's a random Mario rip off." Gee George, it couldn't be actually Mario from the older version of Tapper on the NES. No, it couldn't be. Spoiler: It actually was.
When this movie came out there was a temporary meet and greet at Disneyland to meet and take pictures with the characters. The set up also had Fix It Felix Jr games that you could play.
5:26 it never occurred to me that Tapper's design was perhaps intentionally a Mario rip-off. It does make sense though since the game came out the year after Mario and the insane popularity it had.
Don’t worry I got emotional when I watched this, too. Ralph’s character development because of his friendship with Venelope was so touching. The moment where he chose to sacrifice himself and truly become the hero he wanted to be 🥺❤️
24:00 - 24:22 = It's so great seeing reactors genuinely surprised by the twist villain reveal
Definitey got me the first time I saw it, it's well done because you feel like you should have seen it coming

I was surprised George didn't reference it when Ralph stepped on the eggs and spawned all the bugs, because that was my first thought when I saw that scene
Best thumbnail yet!! Absolutely NAILED it👏🏿👏🏿
I would totally use that as desktop wallpaper.
Fun fact: Alan Tudyk voiced King Candy / Turbo. Like John Ratzenberger had a 25-year run in appearing in every Pixar movie, Alan Tudyk is "the good luck charm" of Disney animation studios and has appeared in every release since 2012.
There's my trivia, now here's my request: Please consider watching and commenting on Resident Alien! The show is arguably Alan Tudyk at his finest. The first season was brilliant, and the following seasons are at times less consistently amazing but still very much worth watching.
Minor spoiler, Captain Reynolds himself has a small recurring role during a run of episodes in season 2, and it's awesome. If you guys really enjoyed Firefly as much as it looked like you did, you really need to see Resident Alien!
Oh I second that! Please do Resident Alien in the near future!
I don't know if it's good luck, or just the fact that Alan Tudyk is just SO DARN VERSATILE.
The first time I watched I didn't get that the little green guy that was always with him was a sour candy.
As soon as I think Simone couldn't possibly be any cuter, you guys digitize the thumbnail. Great work!
I was so excited for you to react to this one. It's ine of my favorite animated films because of how tight the story is, and how well the creators really paid attention to video game culture and tropes.
Also, the fact that the cops are doughnuts, and named Duncan (Dunkin') and Winchell (Winchell's Donut House), is a wonderful nod to 1980s Saturday culture-the day when the arcades were usually the busiest.
Omg your reactions to the twist were AMAZING!! I remember seeing that as kid for the first time and having my mind blown, and imo it's one of the best in any animated movie
I'm so happy you liked this so much. Everytime I watch it, I'm surprised how genuinely GOOD this movie is.
I’ll never forget being in the theatre and being the only one who laughed when they did the up down up down b a select start joke for the chest opening. Full theatre with kids and parents. Me a 20 something year old. Stay well guys. You have done a lot for me mentally. It probably sounds strange or creepy but you guys bring me joy watching things I can relate to, when I see the same emotions I would have, it makes me feel normal.
Alan Tudyk was so good in this. He emulated the voice of Ed Wynn, the Mad Hatter from the original Alice in Wonderland Disney cartoon in 1951.
One of my very favorite animated films. It makes me tear up at least three times. Every time Vanellope’s cart gets wrecked by her bullies or Ralph it makes me sad. It triggers every time I see bullying in the form of breaking something you love. And of course the ending makes me emotional when Ralph says that all the hoops he has to jump through are worth if that one girl who’s his friend thinks he’s special. That gets me every time.
it's so real because 1 good friend really is all lonely ppl need
@@vkdeen7570 Too true. I consider myself to only have two good friends. Everyone else is expendable. Lol. But my feeling is that is only the case because I have my two. Without them, I’d be so much more anxious about not pissing off or doing anything to make people dislike me.
@mojoshivers exactly. ppl just need someone to believe in them. 1 teacher believing in u can change ur school life. 1 girl/guy liking u can change ur entire self esteem... etc etc
u can really empathise with ralph and that makes the story impactful. blood the turbo twist is amazing
@@vkdeen7570 Like I said, this film is triggering with each watch. And that’s entirely due to feeling like Vanellope and Ralph have felt by other’s treatment of me. There’s something universal in feeling like, to quote Nobody Wants This, the loser friend, the loser brother, or the loser co-worker/
5:30 I laughed when you said Tapper was a Mario ripoff!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I played the original Tapper at my local arcade (no one protested), and thought it was really fun. Then years later I was confused when I started to see "Root Beer Tapper" referenced in media and appearing in arcade game compilations on consoles. I was like _Root Beer_ Tapper?! What the hell is this weak sauce?!? 😄
@@Johnny_Socko Add that to the Gen X lore: blood full of lead, drinking from garden hoses as we run feral through the streets, playing video games with overt alcohol themes ... and cosplaying smoking with candy cigarettes!
lol I felt bad for the character when he said that. Tapper is one of my mother's favorite games.
George, you have outdone yourself with this thumbnail. 🤌🏻🤌🏻
Hell yeah. That’s a cool thumbnail.
Definitely the best one yet!
Damn good thumbnail indeed
My man looking like a Giga-chad.
Yeah, they look like Stardew Valley characters
King Candy/Turbo (wearing glasses): "You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses?"
Wreck-It Ralph takes the glasses and hits King Candy/Turbo on the head, with glasses.
Got to love quick visual puns like that.
This movie really surprised me with how good it is. It hits all the emotions.
One of the most heart-warming endings I've ever seen.Cannot help but get emotional..
No joke, Wreck it Ralph is one of the best movies out there, so many good messages, good story, great characrters, the nostalgia aspect, and THE TWIST! It's SO good.
The last minute makes me cry every time. In general, people don't like me but my roommates daughter thinks I'm the coolest person. I totally relate to this movie.
Fun story:
Nintendo gave the movie team a lot of restrictions to let Bowser be in there, but one in particular is particularly funny.
They were not satisfied with how Bowser was holding his teacup in the villains meeting, they then proceeded on giving very particular directives on how he would hold it and they HAD to change it.
Big N does not joke around with character representation, even for a moment this small.
George laughs at the “❗️”.
Me: “lol He knows about Metal Gear Solid. Nice.”
Also George: “It’s a random quest mark.”
Me: “……… Dammit George, you failed us….”
He Fission Mailed us (mgs2 reference)
@@ShatteredDreams90 Snake? SNAKE!?
To be fair, I don't think Metal Gear Solid had an arcade game. I guess it has a Pachinko machine, but what are the odds a Japanese-only thing like that made it into that arcade.
@@iansrife5107 I think they added it just for the gamers
@@iansrife5107 Arcades aside, the Metal Gear ❗️ is iconic. Tons of games have exclamation markers, especially from way back when, but Metal Gear made it memorable. Hard to have any familiarity with video games and not know it.
I saw a reactor who made a good comparison about how everyone else treats Ralph at first; it's like if everyone was actors and everyone on set hated on the person who played the bad guy. 😂
not people from the set but that poor kid who played Geoffrey in Game of Thrones 😂
@@robertyeah2259Ya, that one just irritates me. How people can be pissed off at a young man for playing an evil role so well that we all properly hated as we were supposed to is crazy. Some people are just really not right in the head if they can’t separate the characters from the actors.
@@Darth-Lesbian Not as bad as Skylar White’s actress, whom wasn’t even a bad guy, just opposed to the protagonist.
❗ "Random quest marker." 🤦🏻
talladega nights ballad of ricky Bobby reunion, wreck it Ralph (John c Riley) is Ricky’s best friend, the solider women (Jane Lynch) is Ricky’s mom, and fix it Felix(Jack McBrayer) is Glenn one of the silly mechanics
This movie is a lot of fun. Granted, it is pretty similar to Toy Story. Where instead of knowing the secret life of toys, it’s the secret life of video game characters. But, at least they do it in a very fun way. Like, each game in the arcade is some really expansive world building.
The real unanswered question here is why Zangief is at a support meeting for villains. He's not a villain in the SF games.
The DJ at the party at the beginning was Skrillex, he asked to be in the movie in exchange of the music that plays when Ralph goes to Heroe's Duty, named apropiately "Bug Hunt".
In another reaction I saw some details that were telling King Candy was Turbo all along. First, his design, all racers besides him were kids, he was an old man. Second, the decoration of the castle, it looked more fit for a little girl. And this is one I noticed, most characters say to not mess with the code as if it was a tabu, but King Candy does with a lot of familiarity.
Best thumbnail ever! I'm totally expecting pixelated George to advise that it's dangerous to go alone!
"take this"
19:10 King Candy one of the best gas lighters in history
This has to be by far the greatest reaction to this movie.
It's impressive they managed to make the Turbo reveal work, considering he has the exact same voice as the mayor, and it's so recognisable from other Disney cartoons.
Sarah Silverman as Vanellope is one of the all-time best voice artist performances on screen. The range from incredibly cute and charismatic to betrayed and hopeless is remarkably evocative as well as all her adorable little quirks and jokes. It's fantastic work!
Ralph wrecking Vanellope's kart has to be one of the hardest to watch scenes in animation. Just brutal.
Watership down is worse...a LOT worse...😢
Mufasa Death scene hold my beer :)
I remember a friend of mine saying, watch that scene with your eyes closed and only open them after the carts been destroyed... 0)_(0
Should not have done that then....
And their reaction to it made it harder to watch.
@@arashzombi Land before time: *Ugly-cries to littlefoots mom"
The twist with the Candy King was great. I do remember Tapper and the Bud cans and then played it as Root Beer Tapper. Great movie.
Fun Fact: King Candy actually asked "Ralph are you going turbo?" But we learned that Hero's duty and Sugar rush just got plugged in so he wouldn't have understood the phrase. ALSO 😂😂😂😂 ahahahahaha I feast upon your tears ahahhahahaha your pain! 😂😂😂
This is one of the Best animated movies ever. I Will die on that Hill.
26:44 It’s funny you mention that George cause I always thought that Pennywise in his dumb spider clown form in Chapter Two looked like a Dollar Store version of the bug boss final form of King Candy.🤣
The orange ball with the mouth and the purple snake are from Q-Bert.
Q*Bert had a cameo too in the movie "Pixels", that other Retro-Gaming nostalgia flick with Adam Sandler.
@@Cau_No I like the character, but man did I get annoyed with the game on NES back in the day.
For some reason I always would end up jumping the wrong way at some point because of the board being offset from the D-pad. It just caused confusion in my young brain I guess.
@@Ilix42 yeah, one false step and it's "Game over, man!"
Basically the standard '80s Gamer experience.
I remember when they took the Tapper out of the local arcade and that's when I learned some people have too much time on their hands and an excessive desire for undeserved attention. She just kept ranting at the person unplugging it even as she was getting her way. We never got the Root Beer Tapper, no great loss. I was always a Joust fan.
I remember the original Tapper had a Budweiser tap pull on the machine.
I am old too. I played tapper on a Commodore-64.
One of the best animated movie ever IMO. It's a shame it lost to Brave in Oscar which is...debatable..
I once snuck the Bad Guy Affirmation into the Serenity Prayer at an AA meeting.
Something that not many people think about with the wedding scene:
Cybugs become what they eat.
The Cybug ate her husband.
She had to pump a monster full of lead that wore her husband's face, and probably had his voice.
Disney made an actual Fix it Felix arcade machine. They had it in the Disneyland Starcade and it was free to play.
it was also controversial amongst lovers of old school arcade machines, as they had many more made to adorn theatre lobbies and they were made converting actual Nintendo Donkey Kong arcade machines which in itself is a collectible machine and getting rarer.
Wreck-it Ralph looks like a combination between Toy Story and ReBoot.
Didn't happen to notice who did the voice for King Candy, aye? 😉
Love this movie. Such great memories taking my son to the theater for it . We were obsessed with it
I wasn't expecting anything from this movie, but it's actually really good.
“I love when stuff, means stuff”
Put that on a T shirt! I’ll buy it!
The whole 1st half of the credits includes a fully animated music video for the "Owl City" track "When can I see you again" where Ralph and the gang run around the credit blocks, from the bugs. :)
"So are the people in this game just living in a world on flesh?"
Thank you for asking the big questions George.
Even if you don’t like, or know, anything about video games, and totally miss all of the references and Easter eggs, this is still such a great movie. Besides ‘Up’, this is my favorite of the newer Disney/Pixar movies.
I have to say the most sarcastic thank you possible for the whole "never played Pac-Man on an actual machine" line. Never felt so old in my life. 😂 And Tapper came out way before Mario, so he was not a Mario rip off.
Not quite - Tapper came out in '84, while the first canonical Mario game, "Mario Bros.", came out in '83, and Mario's first unnamed appearance (technically named Jumpman but later retconned to Mario by Nintendo) was in 1981's Donkey Kong.
Yeah. Neither character looks much like the other in the original games (aside from having mustaches).
I played Pac-man, Q-Bert, Frogger, and Moon Patrol on Atari all the time as a kid. We had Joust, but I hated it, lol. My first console game. :')
I loved Joust!
5:38 NOT A RANDOM QUEST MARKER T.T solid snake is crying bc you missed a metal gear reference.
Omg Simone's hair is so pretty!
😄👍 If this cartoon made you hungry, then wait 'til you see "Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs" (2009).
When the show the tunnel entrance to the Grand Central area in the beginning, there's a graffiti on the wall that says "Aeris was here" and you can see the Metal Gear "!" In the lost in found box at Tapper's.
Edit:Going Turbo is another term for "out of control" such as when (example: if you activate Turbo on a controller and hold down the button it helps when button mashing) Example:1 The Metal Gear Solid torture mini game can be beaten by going turbo, example 2 in the Legend of Dragoon when using magic you can use Turbo and increase the damage holding the X button
Seeing George giggle and lose himself over the Oreo joke, made my day.
29:54 the sequel in a nutshell
This was such a randomly fabulous movie. Opinions vary because it's a different kind of film, but I think the sequel is great too.
the saying a story/hero being only as good as its villain is for real you know. there is even a saying that having a worthy/great enemy is much better than having a incopetent ally. so appreciate the villains.
I didn't notice it until now, but when King Candy is announced, they say "All hail HER royal ruler..."
This is one of my favorite animated movies. Definitely my favorite recent one. Just a great concept and a treat for gaming fans. Great reaction 🙂
This movie is so heart-breaking and earnest and adorable and sweet!! It's seriously so SO good 💕
19:23 literally said seconds before that she won't listen to him lol. Moot point anyway considering 😂
The biggest hint at king candys true identity, is how out of place king candy's design is. All of the other races have a very "anime" like design, and are all kids, but king candys design is very generic 80s amarican cartoon, feels way more retro, and is NOT a kid. He stands out like a sore thumb, like he's not to the game and had to come up with something that he thinks would fit
This movie is special for my wife and I. This was on of the several movies our first kiddo watched a million times once he saw it. Each movie had like a phase. We always loved this one with him. Now he's 8 and we rewatched it with him last month.
This one was fantastic. But like a lot of the sequels we didn't like the other one.
Yaaay.. another my favourite on your channel!!❤❤
Three scenes that made me cry:
1. Ralph breaks Vanellope's car
2. Ralph's monologue when he superman dives onto the coca cola mountain
3. Ralph's quote: "if that little girl likes me, how bad can I be?"
Lots of love for you guys from Indonesia!!❤❤🤗🤗
Simone's tears and laughs, so touching! One of your most fun- filled enjoyable reactions!
"That's a random Mario rip off." Gee George, it couldn't be actually Mario from the older version of Tapper on the NES. No, it couldn't be. Spoiler: It actually was.
I loved playing Tapper back in the early 80's.
I played it a couple years ago at an arcade in Minneapolis. Way harder than I remember, but I primarily played the NES version as a kid.
The pixel art on this thumbnail was cool.
When this movie came out there was a temporary meet and greet at Disneyland to meet and take pictures with the characters. The set up also had Fix It Felix Jr games that you could play.
"Why am I crying?" --- Simone, I've watched a lot of reactions, you are a big softy.
5:26 it never occurred to me that Tapper's design was perhaps intentionally a Mario rip-off. It does make sense though since the game came out the year after Mario and the insane popularity it had.
This movie makes me cry so much. What a great movie. Great reaction.
The nostalgia is real in this game. I watched this just out of boredom, and it became one of my favorite movies and I rewatch this all the time now.
The purple snake is from Q-Bert...that little orange ball you referenced. The Purple Rhino is Neff from Altered Beast.
You know a movie is full of heart when even a condensed version of it makes me tear up like four times. Great reaction as always!!
5:42 it was from the Metal Gear series. Its an alert from guards once you're spotted.
Don’t worry I got emotional when I watched this, too. Ralph’s character development because of his friendship with Venelope was so touching. The moment where he chose to sacrifice himself and truly become the hero he wanted to be 🥺❤️
