'Wreck-It Ralph' Trailer Teases With Nostalgia

Posted byBy R Scott Belzer | Published on: | Updated on June 29, 2013 CommentsComments (0)

Courtesy of Yahoo!News, Disney has released the trailer for Wreck-It Ralph, a new animated feature showcasing the voice-over talents of John C. Reilly, Jack McBrayer, Sarah Silverman and Jane Lynch.

Wreck-It Ralph follows Ralph, voiced by Reilly, a destructive villain from the popular video game ‘Fix-It Felix’. After finding out how ill-intended his role in the game is, Ralph decides to leave ‘Fix-It Felix’ for a more heroic role in another game. The trailer shows a Halo-style first-person shooter called ‘Hero’s Duty’ as Ralph’s main choice. Of course, this upsets the equilibrium of his original game and puts the other inhabitants at risk.

The nostalgia factor seems to be off the charts for Wreck-It Ralph. In the trailer alone, you can spot famous faces accross multiple platforms and gaming eras. If you grew up playing videogames in the ’80s and ’90s, there WILL be a reference for you.

The film will also be Disney’s fifth attempt at a computer-animated feature without Pixar, following Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons, Bolt and Tangled. Hopefully, with the vast amount of source material, Wreck-It Ralph will be able to set itself apart and establish a new standard. While most animation teams specialize in computer-animated features, this can often be far more difficult than it sounds.

The Rich Moore directed film will not hit theatres until November 2. Until then, enjoy the trailer below!

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
