@@HyruleBalverine It's my absolute favorite trope. Doesn't matter how goofy the movie is, or how ridiculous the character, it'll make me cry (like Bing-Bong from Inside Out)
Me too. It was just a sad but meaningful moment. The ONLY thing I wish they had done different, at that moment, was if after saying the mantra Ralph said, softly, "I'm gonna wreck it." As a way of underscoring how he was taking the most negative aspect of himself and doing good with it. But it was still a powerful moment.
What is funny about the execution line is that because it's their game, they would regenerate, so it could keep happening endlessly if she actually did it.
I love how original this movie ended up being, even though it has a lot of video game references, it doesn't use them as a crutch. They just help build the world the story lives in.
Go "behind the scenes" and find out how bad the original screenplay was. A re-write turned potential garbage into a modern classic. "Wreck It Ralph 2" dumped all over the original's message. (The usual problem with sequels.)
The best bit for me is when Ralph is helping Vanelope build her kart, the dialogue sounds so much like an older sibling helping their younger one play a video game.
You guys actually overlooked a piece of Calhoun's tragic backstory. They didn't explicitly show this, but the fact that Calhoun had to watch her fiancé get eaten by a bug and then destroy that bug on her wedding day is far darker when you look at what the movie shows us about the bugs later on in the story. If you recall, when a bug ate "King Candy" aka Turbo, the bug BECAME King Candy.. Which means that not only did Calhoun watch a bug eat her fiancé, but she also had to shoot her own fiancé right after that because the bug became her fiancé.
Thank you for pointing that out. It gets missed so often. Also, you notice that Felix and Calhoun's fiance look, stylistically, very similar? Same color eyes, similar hair.
There's a real pile of references in this lovely movie, obviously, but one I think that seems to get missed a lot is Gene and Ralph. When the game's doing the intro for the whole premise, Gene is the Nicelander that Ralph always grabs and throws clear out of the building, so the dude really has a chip on his little 8-bit shoulder about this Bad Guy. Great review for a great flick, gents!
@@NiceDudeMovieNight HAHAHA! I just remembered when the game hires on the out-of-work bad guys (who really need a name, like Wreck-It Crew) but, one of them's a roll of dynamite that hops RIGHT down by Eugene's window and goes off in his face. HAHA, EAT IT GENE, THAT'S FOR USING VODKA IN YOUR MARTINI INSTEAD OF GIN, YA TOOL!
What exactly is that a reference to? You didn't make a connection, you just mentioned character dynamic. They're both 8-bit so that's not a reference either. Perhaps you misunderstood the context.
Out of all of the "newer" Disney films, this is easily my favorite. Loved it from the very first time I saw it in the cinema and it only grew more and more in my estimation over time. It's really impressive how tight and well executed the script is and how they still manage to give the characters enough time to make you like them. Your reactions are always so entertaining, really glad you picked this one.
The idea of a villain support group, since most of them don't get to choose to be villains, and have to put up with the fear and hate... Is both somehow very heartwarming, yet incredibly depressing... But also gives an easy to understand comparison to how it can feel to need/want help.
I love the whole yin-yang thing Ralph and Felix have when they're cooperating. It's subtle, but the fact they have the full circle of creation AND destruction and how powerful they become when they work together is just something that really works for me.
It's interesting that, if you can recognize Alan Tudyk's voice acting, the twist is actually revealed early on when Felix is telling Calhoun about what going Turbo means. It seems so obvious on re-watches, but that first time it just passed me by.
Tbf, even if you did recognise it. It’s not like it’s a major giveaway given how unlikely it sounds Like why would you expect the guy who game jumped to be someone else? But the only question on my mind is what happened to the real King Candy?
@@ClamantesDaemonium Yeah, there wasn’t. His name is very generic compared to the citizens of the Sugar Rush, his catchphrase “Have some Candy” has a strangely sadist undertone when you think about it - he’s feeding candy to people made of candy and the throne room is very pink like it was made for a Queen or Princess.
@@deadbynightupbylunchwasn't it Vanellope's castle? That was my understanding, that she was either an unfinished secret character, or he put her there somehow. But I felt like her reveal as a princess kinda implied she was THE princess.
This is awesome! I love this movie and John C. Reilly did a great job voicing Ralph. This movie should have won the Academy Award for Best Animated Film instead of "Brave" (Pixar). Keep up the good work!!!!!
That was a crazy year because Wreck it Ralph felt very much like a Pixar film and Brave felt very much like a Disney Princess movie. It was almost like the 2 studios were like "hey you do our style and we will do your style"
King Candy is voiced by Alan Tudyk, aka Wash from Firefly, the Joker in Harley Quinn, K-2SO in Rogue One, the chicken in Moana, Tucker in Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil, and about 100 other roles.
I read a great headcanon that Sugar Rush becomes this massive cryptid because if you go to this one arcade in this one town, you can play King Candy instead of Princess Vanelope, and no one can figure out why. Then one day, King Candy vanishes, Vanelope arrives, but she's in a different outfit and has this random powerup that none of the other Princess Vanelopes in the other Sugar Rush games seem to have. Just imagine how crazy that would be to the average person.
I watch this movie every couple of years, and I'm always struck by how cute and funny it is. It's so creative! I grew up gaming, which makes it even more fun.
I totally wanted to see this in theatres when it was released, but my wife, who is 7 years older than me, often looks at animated movies as children's fare (she used to direct a day care center, so that kind of makes sense). But she took one of the kids she watches occassionally to see it, and said she liked it was better than she thought she would. I also loved the candy and food references, like Sour Bill, and the cops Dunkin' and Winchell, who are named after 2 donut chains in the U.S. . . . and also, the fact that THE COPS ARE DONUTS.
Wreck it Ralph is such a great movie. I wish it got a sequel, but sadly no sequel was ever released. It’s such a shame that there was never a sequel. There is no sequel.
Was one produced but on the eve of release it was destroyed in a terrible plane crash/killer bee attack, along with all the producers and scripts.. thats how I remember it.
One of the little details I love is that the car of the "king" always was just white. Like Turbo. I mean why would a colorful king have a white car... :D
There's so many good clues about how out of place King Candy is. He doesn't match the anime-esque designs of the rest of the racers, he's the only adult in a roster full of kids, and while everyone else has these elaborate candy portmanteau names like Adorabeezle Winterpop and Crumbelina DiCaramello, he's just dull ol' King Candy. Even his code block is out of place - it's like fifty times bigger than all the others, like he had to conceal all the hacking he had to do to make it. My favorite clue is how he tries to deny his castle is pink ("Salmon! Salmon, that's obviously salm-- What are you doing here?!") In the moment, it plays like an obviously prissy guy trying to deny that he likes pink; at the end, it's revealed that, oh duh, of course his castle is pink, he _stole_ it from a little girl. This movie literally thought of everything 😁
This movie was such a great watch for any long time gamer. So many IP's are used and all the jokes hit for me, but also the movie had so many great undertones for real life and how you should be as a person
I've seen people argue that the movie sends a bad message, that you should just accept your station in life and never try new things (which probably explains a lot of things about the sequel, but that's a whole other can of worms 🙄). But that's not what this movie meant at all. Ralph felt useless because he believed all he could ever be was a Bad Guy, but Vanellope helped him realize what a good person he truly was all along. He wanted the Nicelanders' acceptance, but first he needed acceptance from the most important place of all - himself. And that's the true message: that there are inherent things in each of our lives that we can't control, but they don't define us as people. What we are is not nearly as important as who we are. And I think that's really beautiful 😊
@@jbwarner8626 exactly, we aren't all born perfect nor will we be the one everyone loves. But that doesn't mean we get treated any differently and that sometimes if given a chance we can surprise you. Having ADHD the message of this movie hit my heart as I wasn't given the same chance in school as everyone else. I had to fight and find my own way and now I'm a certified mechanic on track to become a master technician
Watched this with my 5 year-old daughter last week. It's been one of my favourites since it came out but I cried all over again watching her watch it. This is a special movie. Extremely well done.
When someone pointed out to the filmmaker that Zangief isn't really a bad guy in Street Fighter, his response was "When I was a kid, Zangief was a bad guy to me!"
Ok commenting before I start watching, this is genuinely one of my favorite movies and I'm so excited EDIT: I'm so glad ya'll found the movie funny. There's so much heart and detail put into this movie... I love the characters, the story, all of it. And ya'll loving Calhoun's one liners is a TREAT.
I've been learning a lot about this movie, there's a lot of hints that give away the Turbo twist (spoilers if you watch the movie/this video after the comments). 1. TurboTime was a cabinet neighbor to Fix-it-Felix Jr., which is how King Candy recognized Wreck-it-Ralph, they were neighbors 2. Alan Tudyk is the voice of King Candy, if you can pick out his voice from Turbo, that's a give away 3. King Candy calls the pink castle Salmon colored, kinda giving it away that it wasn't his to begin with because pink is for girls, generally 4. If a video game character dies in their world, they respawn, but if they die anywhere else, they die for good, if Sugar Rush was King Candy's world, he would not be scared of Ralph at all, but he is. 5. although I haven't been able to find the exact scene, someone mentioned that when King Candy's name is announced, it sounds different to the rest of the cast. 6. Sugar Rush looks chibi anime, King Candy looks western, out of place. This last bit isn't a hint but it's a spooky detail, when Turbo is revealed, if you slow it down as much as possible, you can see Turbo doing an 8-bit thumbs up and then a 3D thumbs up while looking at the camera, breaking the 4th wall for the briefest of moments.
Fun fact about this movie: the reason Wreck-it Ralph destroys the Nicelanders building isn't just because if his programming within the game, but because of a real system of law known as "Eminent Domain", which gives the government the right to take private property at their discretion. Don't believe me? Listen to the song "Wreck-it, Wreck-it Ralph", especially the first verse which goes like this: "Wreck-it Ralph is a giant of a man, 9 feet tall with really big hands Living in a stump on his very own land until his world went crazy He was minding his own business on the day they came They showed a piece of paper saying 'Eminent Domain' They built an apartment building saying 'progress was to blame' So he got mad and he turned bad Brick by brick HE'S GONNA TAKE HIS LAND BACK!" So the truth about this movie is that Wreck-it Ralph is not a bad guy at all, but the victim of a very unfair law.
Where did they go wrong with RBTI? Everything. Jokes aside, but I like that Bowser was at that meeting along with Eggman. I really want him to bring Junior along so he can introduce him to the other villains 5:52 He has a name, you know. Jack McBrayer! He also voices Wander in Wander over Yonder if you're willing to do TV reactions!
So here's my theory about why Ralph is so unpopular among the Nicelanders at the beginning - you notice they're all just sort of afraid of him, but the only one who's outright antagonistic towards him is Gene, the guy he throws out of the building at the start of every game. It's like Gene is bitter about barely being in the game and blames Ralph for it, then just started a smear campaign against him among all the other Nicelanders. And Felix, who assumes the best about everybody and is too polite to take a stance one way or the other, is just caught in the middle. This is one of my favorite movies of all time; I think about it a lot 😄
@@NiceDudeMovieNight Oh, this is one of the tightest and most flawless scripts Disney's ever produced; they thought of everything. Most of the people behind the scenes were alumni from The Simpsons, including director Rich Moore and head of story Jim Reardon, so if anyone knows how to tell an extremely efficient story full of smart-alecky humor, genuine heart, and creative world-building, it's them 😁
Calhoun’s tragic backstory is way worse than it seems and most people don’t realise. The bugs become what they eat so she had to kill that bug that had her fiancés face
Vanellope is how I was when I was a kid, bullied for reasons I couldn't control. Ralph is how I am as an adult, beaten down by a crummy job where I'm not appreciated. It's no wonder this movie struck such a chord with me.
I identify with Venellope on so many levels. I was the first and only student in my school who had epilepsy. The kids made fun of me and didn't want to go near me. Teachers were scared of my seizures and kicked me out of their classes because they didn't want me to cause problems. The principal tried to expel me, but I was too good.
You guys are the best! The only reaction videos that I can watch beginning to end and enjoy every second of it. You really got a great formula, keep up the good work!
One fun fact about Zangief being in the bad guy meeting is that he isnt technically a bad guy in his game. The director made him a bad guy because he could never beet him in street fighter and it always made him angry.
Applaud for your style of just starting right away. So many react videos have soooo long intro and "basic" insight but both of you seems to really enjoy reacting. Keep it up and more subs ❤❤❤
Fun Fact: The Sugar Rush game theme song was actually done by the large all female J-Pop Idol group known as AKB48. As of current they over 80 members but has had well over 100 members at one time.
There is a local place to me called Garcade. It's a giant retro arcade where you pay a door fee and then get to play games the entire day and can come and go as you please throughout the day. They have a Wreck-it-Ralph machine that I LOVE playing, but I'm really terrible at it.
I love this movie, I remember when I got it on DVD I would have it playing as background noise for days, as soon as it ended I started it again! Probably my second favorite Disney film, after Emperor's New Groove. I've never found one to dislodge that from the number 1 spot haha.
I havent watched this movie since before the sequel came out, and I got emotional all over again and cried at certain parts. To this day, it's still my favorite computer-animated Disney movie. So many elements of it are impressive and entertaining, as a gamer- like how the Cy-Bugs mutate based on what they eat. And Sugar Rush would be a legit home-run if it were a real game; the concept is solid. And the casting for this movie is stellar, Alan Tudyk turns everything he touches into gold. Everyone was bringing 100% to this. It *is* a shame the sequel was a letdown that totally retcons major plot points from this movie, but sometimes that's just how things go. Still glad you guys watched this one, I'mma have to watch the movie for real now.
I had written off this movie until a friend convinced me to see it. I was *stunned* and consistently delighted throughout. Not only are video games and references organically woven into the plot, the film is written so well that I usually notice new things about it every rewatch. One of the best family films of the 2010s.
I missed the video game arcade wave, so Ralph's back story is what drew me into this "kid's movie." The Bad-Anon motto/mantra is the heart of this tale. "I'm Bad and that's Good. I will never be Good and that's not Bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me." After Ralph left on his medal quest, the Nicelanders and Felix discovered how important he is/was to their game. The characters live, learn and appreciate each other in ways that hadn't been aware of before.
For raw movie values it's the best Disney movie in my opinion. The only thing it lacks is sing along musicals but they cut that for a even better story. Well worth the trade!
Ugh... don't get me started on the sequel. It feels like an angry bitter fanfiction written by someone who hated the first movie and thought they were fixing it by taking out all the things that made it fun 😑
The voice actor for Felix also did Wander from Wander over yonder. He's really good and plays likable characters. I saw the comic-con panel for Wander and he seams like a nice guy 🙂
Spoilers: First we think King Candy is a bad guy, then we think he's good, then he's a bad guy again, then we find out he's TURBO. I had my doubts of him being good when he explained the glitch thing but I had NO idea that he would be Turbo. What's creepy is if you pause the movie at the right time when he is revealed you can see him looking directly at us and holding two thumbs up like he does in his game. He breaks the fourth wall for a second and you would of never realized it without checking.
Ah, yes. Q*bert - sighs wistfully. How many hours I wasted, sitting on my best friend's living room carpet, leaned against the sofa. The Atari joystick controlling that weird little bouncing dude. Happy days, indeed.
@@vanhattfield8292 There was another Atari game that basically involved being in a tank and firing at stuff in a desert like terrain. No clue what it was called but if you steered too far into certain areas of the screen, the graphics got seriously messed up and turned into weird geometric blocks. Good clean fun, all round 🤣
Has anyone pointed out that Mr Litwak's apearence is based off of Walter Day? He is a video game referee and he founded Twin Galaxies, the leader board for video game high scores.
Just to say : The nice-landers (the tiny characters from the game of wreck it Ralph) are actually the bad guys here. They didn't invited Ralph despite his humongous important role and they consider him as a villain, even when the game is off (I know he's wrecking stuff, but it's not an excuse). Without his presence, there will be no game. But still, these little turds don't want him.
Someone, from another channel, made an interesting comment on why Gene hates Ralph so much. At the start of every game, Ralph punches through his apartment, grabs him and throws him out of the building. Gene has to live that every time someone plays the game. probably every level too. More than Felix, Gene has, probably, suffered from Ralph than anyone else. Not that it makes it OK, how he treats him. But at least there is reason.
Fact : beard papa is actually character of a japanese ice cream company. Another fact : there is a hint about the real identity of king candy right before the revelation. When he encounters Ralph, he recognize him right away. But the fact that Ralph ask who he is shows that they never met each other, even outside of the game.
Nobody seems to realize Ralph is Donkey Kong, Felix is Mario, Calhoun is more or less Halo. I picked it up right away. Sugar Race is Mario Kart obviously, but I think it's probably got some Candy Crush mixed in. And the donut cops hounds are devil dogs, a popular snack cake.
Love this movie so much, that affirmation at the end gets me everytime. While a lot of people dont like the sequel, it is to the 2000's and 2010's what the first one is to 80's and 90's. If you grew up in the 2000 to 2020's your gonna love the references and it has a good story, the people who dislike it are mainly against the cringy references, but it's par for the course as that is how the web is these days lol
The two cops are both donuts, one is a classic iced yeast donut. The one that look like an eclair is actually called a "Long John" and it is usually iced with chocolat or maple icing and can be filled with a sweet cream (similar to the filling of a Oreo, but not quite as solid) filling, custard or no filing. Maple iced, cream filled Long John is my very favorite donut.
This one is wholesome but I can't wait for you guys to watch the second one. Not because of the story but just to see your faces at the sheer amount of references and 4-wall breaking it has. XD Anyone else agree?
This movie has one of the best DVDs. If you pause the movie, Chris Hardwick comes on screen and starts showing you Easter eggs hidden throughout the movie.
I know this video is almost a year old but the arcade and man in the arcade are based on a real person form Ottumwa Iowa. Went to the spiritual successor to the arcade in the town and they had a fix it felix there. Place was called twin galaxies.
This movie is a level of masterclass I hadn't been expecting. Sure, I expected to have a good time when I went to go see it in theaters, but not have a new film I'd never forget.
I love this movie bc it contains the most prime example of me and my wife in media; a small lil baby man whos too sweet and talks like hes from the 50s & a strong kinda mean woman whos larger than him and drives him places while he just stares at her with like a puppy dog level amount of admiration. She HAAAATES when i watch this movie in the bedroom bc shell just walk in on me during their scenes and she punches me in the arm and tells me to stop being so gay. God i love that woman
And the cyborg who rips his heart out, despite only being called "Cyborg" in the credits, is pretty obviously Kano from Mortal Kombat. Which is yet another reason why this movie is amazing - show me one other Disney movie that has a Mortal Kombat fatality in it 😆

He wanted the Nicelanders' acceptance, but first he needed acceptance from the most important place of all - himself.
And that's the true message: that there are inherent things in each of our lives that we can't control, but they don't define us as people. What we are is not nearly as important as who we are. And I think that's really beautiful 😊
@@jbwarner8626 exactly, we aren't all born perfect nor will we be the one everyone loves. But that doesn't mean we get treated any differently and that sometimes if given a chance we can surprise you. Having ADHD the message of this movie hit my heart as I wasn't given the same chance in school as everyone else. I had to fight and find my own way and now I'm a certified mechanic on track to become a master technician
@@jbwarner8626 Exactly! Even the Nice Dude's pointed out that by the end of the movie, both Ralph and Venelope's "weaknesses" became "strengths".
I did it! Having definitely seen this video in entirety, you guys did great. I loved when you guys laughed at a funny thing.
😂😂😂
Watched this with my 5 year-old daughter last week. It's been one of my favourites since it came out but I cried all over again watching her watch it. This is a special movie. Extremely well done.
The oreo guards and their chant had me dying the first time i watched this movie
When someone pointed out to the filmmaker that Zangief isn't really a bad guy in Street Fighter, his response was "When I was a kid, Zangief was a bad guy to me!"
Ok commenting before I start watching, this is genuinely one of my favorite movies and I'm so excited
EDIT: I'm so glad ya'll found the movie funny. There's so much heart and detail put into this movie... I love the characters, the story, all of it. And ya'll loving Calhoun's one liners is a TREAT.
It's a fantastic movie!
There are not enough Wreck it Ralph reactions, thank you dudes for adding another 😁
Wreck-it-Ralph is without a doubt, a masterpiece of a movie.
Nice thing with the roach in Tapper's Lost'n'Found: That's Ralph dealing with a bug. ^^
Ahhh nice haha
I've been learning a lot about this movie, there's a lot of hints that give away the Turbo twist (spoilers if you watch the movie/this video after the comments).
1. TurboTime was a cabinet neighbor to Fix-it-Felix Jr., which is how King Candy recognized Wreck-it-Ralph, they were neighbors
2. Alan Tudyk is the voice of King Candy, if you can pick out his voice from Turbo, that's a give away
3. King Candy calls the pink castle Salmon colored, kinda giving it away that it wasn't his to begin with because pink is for girls, generally
4. If a video game character dies in their world, they respawn, but if they die anywhere else, they die for good, if Sugar Rush was King Candy's world, he would not be scared of Ralph at all, but he is.
5. although I haven't been able to find the exact scene, someone mentioned that when King Candy's name is announced, it sounds different to the rest of the cast.
6. Sugar Rush looks chibi anime, King Candy looks western, out of place.
This last bit isn't a hint but it's a spooky detail, when Turbo is revealed, if you slow it down as much as possible, you can see Turbo doing an 8-bit thumbs up and then a 3D thumbs up while looking at the camera, breaking the 4th wall for the briefest of moments.

Yes, Disney did make a small amount of wreck it Ralph old school consoles that were placed at places like Disney springs
Fun fact about this movie: the reason Wreck-it Ralph destroys the Nicelanders building isn't just because if his programming within the game, but because of a real system of law known as "Eminent Domain", which gives the government the right to take private property at their discretion. Don't believe me? Listen to the song "Wreck-it, Wreck-it Ralph", especially the first verse which goes like this:
"Wreck-it Ralph is a giant of a man, 9 feet tall with really big hands
Living in a stump on his very own land until his world went crazy
He was minding his own business on the day they came
They showed a piece of paper saying 'Eminent Domain'
They built an apartment building saying 'progress was to blame'
So he got mad and he turned bad
Brick by brick HE'S GONNA TAKE HIS LAND BACK!"
So the truth about this movie is that Wreck-it Ralph is not a bad guy at all, but the victim of a very unfair law.
Well observed! ☺️
That song is the entire reason why I even know what Eminent Domain means
@@RandomDragonEXE
I learned about it from a movie, too... 1967's *The Boston Strangler.* (No, it wasn't a significant plot point.) 😉
Where did they go wrong with RBTI? Everything.
Jokes aside, but I like that Bowser was at that meeting along with Eggman. I really want him to bring Junior along so he can introduce him to the other villains
5:52 He has a name, you know. Jack McBrayer! He also voices Wander in Wander over Yonder if you're willing to do TV reactions!
This is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I’m sad there is no sequel.
*There is no sequel*
There is: Ralph breaks the Internet.

@@arunamohan5375 *There is no sequel.*
Why do people hate sequels so much? It's really not that serious
@@erikawilliams9558 Not all sequels, just bad ones.
So here's my theory about why Ralph is so unpopular among the Nicelanders at the beginning - you notice they're all just sort of afraid of him, but the only one who's outright antagonistic towards him is Gene, the guy he throws out of the building at the start of every game. It's like Gene is bitter about barely being in the game and blames Ralph for it, then just started a smear campaign against him among all the other Nicelanders. And Felix, who assumes the best about everybody and is too polite to take a stance one way or the other, is just caught in the middle.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time; I think about it a lot 😄
That would make a lot of sense, actually! I wonder how much thought went into those dynamics ahead of time!
@@NiceDudeMovieNight Oh, this is one of the tightest and most flawless scripts Disney's ever produced; they thought of everything. Most of the people behind the scenes were alumni from The Simpsons, including director Rich Moore and head of story Jim Reardon, so if anyone knows how to tell an extremely efficient story full of smart-alecky humor, genuine heart, and creative world-building, it's them 😁
Calhoun’s tragic backstory is way worse than it seems and most people don’t realise. The bugs become what they eat so she had to kill that bug that had her fiancés face
I love how much Altaf loves Calhoun - It's so sweet. ^_^
I identify with Ralph on so many levels
Vanellope is how I was when I was a kid, bullied for reasons I couldn't control. Ralph is how I am as an adult, beaten down by a crummy job where I'm not appreciated. It's no wonder this movie struck such a chord with me.
Even the bonus level?
I too am a big clumsy guy with bad breath unhappy with his lot in life.
I identify with Venellope on so many levels. I was the first and only student in my school who had epilepsy. The kids made fun of me and didn't want to go near me. Teachers were scared of my seizures and kicked me out of their classes because they didn't want me to cause problems. The principal tried to expel me, but I was too good.
You guys are the best! The only reaction videos that I can watch beginning to end and enjoy every second of it. You really got a great formula, keep up the good work!
One fun fact about Zangief being in the bad guy meeting is that he isnt technically a bad guy in his game. The director made him a bad guy because he could never beet him in street fighter and it always made him angry.
As someone who is much more a video game person rather than a movie person I REALLY enjoy this movie
I bet you got a kick out of Ready Player One.
@@JoeXTheXJuggalo1 hated it
I love this movie SO much and I tear up every time I see him reciting his mantra and willing to sacrifice himself
“You really are a bad guy” ow.. my heart 😢
Top two movie twists of all time: King Candy was Turbo, Norman Bates was his mother!
one of my all time favourite Disney movies, it just speaks to me as a gamer.
Totally makes sense!
they have Wreck-It-Ralph arcade machines at disneyland!
Oh that sounds fun!!
Do they have Hero Duty? Because that game looks fucking awesome.
not that I saw@@kittycatmeowmeow963
Applaud for your style of just starting right away. So many react videos have soooo long intro and "basic" insight but both of you seems to really enjoy reacting.
Keep it up and more subs ❤❤❤
Still probably one of my favorite twist villains in a movie, especially a Disney movie.
I love both of these movies to pieces! Was watching this one when I came up with my username on MW2019. It became a universal name shortly after
Hahaha nice!
Fun Fact: The Sugar Rush game theme song was actually done by the large all female J-Pop Idol group known as AKB48. As of current they over 80 members but has had well over 100 members at one time.
There is a local place to me called Garcade. It's a giant retro arcade where you pay a door fee and then get to play games the entire day and can come and go as you please throughout the day. They have a Wreck-it-Ralph machine that I LOVE playing, but I'm really terrible at it.
28:52 that entire shot of all of the racers going is a reference to mario kart! :)
I love this movie, I remember when I got it on DVD I would have it playing as background noise for days, as soon as it ended I started it again! Probably my second favorite Disney film, after Emperor's New Groove. I've never found one to dislodge that from the number 1 spot haha.
Ahahahahahaha, "Rhianntage" is solid gold. I'm so glad I'm not the only person who craves the comedic energy of a well-deployed portmanteau.
Personally, I like Fungeon better.
"When I see Disney I see the magic of movies. Not mindless IP."
Best thing I've heard all year.
I havent watched this movie since before the sequel came out, and I got emotional all over again and cried at certain parts. To this day, it's still my favorite computer-animated Disney movie. So many elements of it are impressive and entertaining, as a gamer- like how the Cy-Bugs mutate based on what they eat. And Sugar Rush would be a legit home-run if it were a real game; the concept is solid. And the casting for this movie is stellar, Alan Tudyk turns everything he touches into gold. Everyone was bringing 100% to this.
It *is* a shame the sequel was a letdown that totally retcons major plot points from this movie, but sometimes that's just how things go.
Still glad you guys watched this one, I'mma have to watch the movie for real now.
I don't care what anyone says, I like When Can I See You Again and Sugar Rush from the film. Both these songs are good.
I had written off this movie until a friend convinced me to see it. I was *stunned* and consistently delighted throughout. Not only are video games and references organically woven into the plot, the film is written so well that I usually notice new things about it every rewatch. One of the best family films of the 2010s.
I missed the video game arcade wave, so Ralph's back story is what drew me into this "kid's movie." The Bad-Anon motto/mantra is the heart of this tale. "I'm Bad and that's Good. I will never be Good and that's not Bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me." After Ralph left on his medal quest, the Nicelanders and Felix discovered how important he is/was to their game. The characters live, learn and appreciate each other in ways that hadn't been aware of before.
For raw movie values it's the best Disney movie in my opinion. The only thing it lacks is sing along musicals but they cut that for a even better story. Well worth the trade!
Yes!!
Love this movie!!
The sequel is very funny and very self aware.
Ugh... don't get me started on the sequel. It feels like an angry bitter fanfiction written by someone who hated the first movie and thought they were fixing it by taking out all the things that made it fun 😑
Love the reactions guys. Keep it up, good luck
We appreciate the love!!
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL! THESE TWO ARE AMAZING!
The voice actor for Felix also did Wander from Wander over yonder. He's really good and plays likable characters. I saw the comic-con panel for Wander and he seams like a nice guy 🙂
Spoilers:
First we think King Candy is a bad guy, then we think he's good, then he's a bad guy again, then we find out he's TURBO. I had my doubts of him being good when he explained the glitch thing but I had NO idea that he would be Turbo.
What's creepy is if you pause the movie at the right time when he is revealed you can see him looking directly at us and holding two thumbs up like he does in his game. He breaks the fourth wall for a second and you would of never realized it without checking.
If you ask me, this is Disney's best use of the "surprise twist villain" trope. No other movie they've done has pulled it off this well.
Oh man that's freaky! I'll look that image up lol
I have Seen that movie 20 times
I love this movie! Excellent reaction! Your reactions are always the best combination of heartfelt and funny!
I like how you two just set up for a sponsors advertisement with such good acting skills in this.
“Cherry chasing dot muncher” is my absolute favorite line, lol.
Ah, yes. Q*bert - sighs wistfully. How many hours I wasted, sitting on my best friend's living room carpet, leaned against the sofa. The Atari joystick controlling that weird little bouncing dude. Happy days, indeed.
It's a classic!
@@NiceDudeMovieNight For me it was Space Invaders and Missile Command. :P
@@vanhattfield8292 There was another Atari game that basically involved being in a tank and firing at stuff in a desert like terrain. No clue what it was called but if you steered too far into certain areas of the screen, the graphics got seriously messed up and turned into weird geometric blocks. Good clean fun, all round 🤣
Felix and Calhoun make me think what could have happened if Mario met Lara Croft.
That's probably exactly how their dynamic was pitched 😂
I really liked the character of fix it Felix, he’s old fashioned and kind of naive, but also hyper competent
Has anyone pointed out that Mr Litwak's apearence is based off of Walter Day? He is a video game referee and he founded Twin Galaxies, the leader board for video game high scores.
I love this movie and I will admit to seeing it in the theatre. I'm old enough to remember all the old games (I was GREAT at Qbert!).
*”It’s turbo guy!”* - this guy!
Grew up watching this movie and love it
If you guys haven't watched Short Circuit 1 & 2 (1986 & 1988) You REALLY should
Oh, absolutely! Short Circuit is one of my all-time favorite 80s movies!
me sister and I cried in the theatre watching this movie, still one of my favourites to this day
Just to say :
The nice-landers (the tiny characters from the game of wreck it Ralph) are actually the bad guys here.
They didn't invited Ralph despite his humongous important role and they consider him as a villain, even when the game is off (I know he's wrecking stuff, but it's not an excuse).
Without his presence, there will be no game. But still, these little turds don't want him.
Someone, from another channel, made an interesting comment on why Gene hates Ralph so much. At the start of every game, Ralph punches through his apartment, grabs him and throws him out of the building. Gene has to live that every time someone plays the game. probably every level too. More than Felix, Gene has, probably, suffered from Ralph than anyone else. Not that it makes it OK, how he treats him. But at least there is reason.
Fact : beard papa is actually character of a japanese ice cream company.
Another fact : there is a hint about the real identity of king candy right before the revelation. When he encounters Ralph, he recognize him right away. But the fact that Ralph ask who he is shows that they never met each other, even outside of the game.
Nobody seems to realize Ralph is Donkey Kong, Felix is Mario, Calhoun is more or less Halo. I picked it up right away. Sugar Race is Mario Kart obviously, but I think it's probably got some Candy Crush mixed in. And the donut cops hounds are devil dogs, a popular snack cake.
Calhoun's game is called Hero's Duty, an obvious reference to Call of Duty. Suprised you missed that.
I saw this in theaters 3 times, I was obsessed X'D
Love this movie so much, that affirmation at the end gets me everytime.
While a lot of people dont like the sequel, it is to the 2000's and 2010's what the first one is to 80's and 90's. If you grew up in the 2000 to 2020's your gonna love the references and it has a good story, the people who dislike it are mainly against the cringy references, but it's par for the course as that is how the web is these days lol
Nah, I'm against the cringy storyline, that disrespects the original movie.
The two cops are both donuts, one is a classic iced yeast donut. The one that look like an eclair is actually called a "Long John" and it is usually iced with chocolat or maple icing and can be filled with a sweet cream (similar to the filling of a Oreo, but not quite as solid) filling, custard or no filing. Maple iced, cream filled Long John is my very favorite donut.
Can we also appreciate the fact that their names are Wynnchel and Duncan, after two of the biggest donut shop chains in the country? 😆
This one is wholesome but I can't wait for you guys to watch the second one. Not because of the story but just to see your faces at the sheer amount of references and 4-wall breaking it has. XD Anyone else agree?
Not really, the second is such a letdown after the greatness of this one.
You guys should watch "Soldier" with Kurt Russel, an overlooked old-school sci-fi action 😊
Your reaction, is my favorite reaction I have seen to this movie 😂
That babel segue was so cute I ship you two so hard
This movie is one of the best matches for the name of your channel.
This movie has one of the best DVDs. If you pause the movie, Chris Hardwick comes on screen and starts showing you Easter eggs hidden throughout the movie.
I watched this movie so much as a kid.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
Prince of Egypt! You guys are going to love it!
19:25 you cut one of THE best jokes. eesh. did china do the editing?
24:28 2nd amazing joke
30:05 yeah had the same reaction!
32:48 HAHAH YEAH
I love that the donut cop's mustache is chocolate sprinkles
i love king candys puns, always reminded me of Ed Wynn
Points to you for resurrecting his name. 😉
I know this video is almost a year old but the arcade and man in the arcade are based on a real person form Ottumwa Iowa. Went to the spiritual successor to the arcade in the town and they had a fix it felix there. Place was called twin galaxies.
This movie is a level of masterclass I hadn't been expecting.
Sure, I expected to have a good time when I went to go see it in theaters, but not have a new film I'd never forget.
King Candy is a loose reference to actor Ed Wynn, who appeared in several Disney films. He's well known as Uncle Albert in the film Mary Poppins.
I love this movie bc it contains the most prime example of me and my wife in media; a small lil baby man whos too sweet and talks like hes from the 50s & a strong kinda mean woman whos larger than him and drives him places while he just stares at her with like a puppy dog level amount of admiration.
She HAAAATES when i watch this movie in the bedroom bc shell just walk in on me during their scenes and she punches me in the arm and tells me to stop being so gay. God i love that woman
The zombie in the beginning is from house of the dead
Yep, those two axes will always haunt me... not as haunting as the voice acting in House of the Dead 😅
And the cyborg who rips his heart out, despite only being called "Cyborg" in the credits, is pretty obviously Kano from Mortal Kombat. Which is yet another reason why this movie is amazing - show me one other Disney movie that has a Mortal Kombat fatality in it 😆
