The new Disney film - about games!

[TwoHeadedBoy]

Essentially, it's looking like Who Framed Roger Rabbit only with videogame characters instead of cartoon characters.

It's called Wreck-It Ralph (and yep, it's another one of those CG films).

See!
Q*Bert:


M. Bison, strutting around in the background:


Zangief and Chun-Li:


They've sort-of made a game to explain where the main character comes from:

From the looks of that main picture, it looks like the bit in Monsters, Inc. where they all go through different doors to get to different bedrooms, except these doors lead to different arcade machines.

Could be fun?

[Antiriad2097]

It holds promise since they're clearly looking at a fairly wide range of games historically with Q*bert and friends up front there and SFII people wandering about. Even if it turns out to be too childish like Monsters Inc, there could be some fun to be had playing 'spot the character'.

One to buy on DVD for me, though Disney doesn't tend to get discounted so much.

Cool!

[Antiriad2097]

Is it just me, or does the lead character look alarmingly like a fleshtone Shrek?

More like a overblown Fred Flintstone!

Mmmm. It looks okay, but Disney's own animated output (as distinct from their distribution duties for Pixar and Ghibli) have been pretty poor recently. Probably worth a look just for the game references, though.

[DPrinny]

Wow now they are trying to pander to "us"

Problem is a lot of kids wont know who Q-Bert is

[Antiriad2097]

A lot of kids didn't get all the references in Shrek either. That's partly why it was so good, it had things that worked on several levels.

I remember reading about this a few weeks ago, seemed interesting at the time.

IGN have a trailer that includes Bowser, Dr Robotnik and a Pac-Man ghost.

....sounds like some barrel scraping to me!

disney kind of lost it when they started to try cater for an older audiance IMHO

[joefish]

Sarah Silverman? Voicing a Disney movie? Seriously?

Someone is listed on IMDB as voicing Kano - Mortal Kombat Kano perhaps?

[Black Ridge]

This looks quality. Love the mix of old and new.

Zangief is a legend

Yeh pretty sure it is. He's sat in villains room with Bowser, Zangief, Dr. Robotnik/Eggman, Pacman Ghost and a load more
