Wreck-It Ralph is the 9-foot-tall, 643-pound villain of an arcade video game named Fix-It Felix Jr., in which the game's titular hero fixes buildings that Ralph destroys. Wanting to prove he can be a good guy and not just a villain, Ralph escapes his game and lands in Hero's Duty, a first-person shooter where he helps the game's hero battle against alien invaders. He later enters Sugar Rush, a kart racing game set on tracks made of candies, cookies and other sweets. There, Ralph meets Vanellope von Schweetz who has learned that her game is faced with a dire threat that could affect the entire arcade, and one that Ralph may have inadvertently started.
This movie contains 37 potentially triggering events.
Two characters (who have romantic feelings for each other) end up in a dangerous situation where one is forced to slap the other one so that both of them can escape. This is done as a last resort after trying other options, the one doing the slapping feels awful about it, and the slapping only happens after the recipient demonstrates that he can immediately heal himself.
the protagonist is told half the story by the antagonist, and is made to believe that by continuing his quest to stop the antagonist, he is putting his friend in danger due to circumstances out of anyone’s control (when really, the antagonist has been lying to everyone about these circumstances)
There is a party scene early on in the movie where the Nicelanders are drinking alcohol, and one Nicelander (Gene) is always depicted with a martini in his hand, but it is not dwelled upon or explicit. There are also bar scenes as another person mentioned, and it is ambiguous as to whether the root beer is alcoholic (a soldier Ralph encounters there appears drunk and distressed about his game).
Coily (the snake from Q*bert) very briefly appears as a background cameo, but he is friendly and has a stylized non-realistic design (same as in his game).
A large part of screentime revolves around a plot regarding cy-bugs". In addition, in Tapper's, a cockroach is seen crawling on (and getting flicked off of) Ralph twice.
No, but a hard candy person is placed in someone's spitty mouth as a form of mild torture to reveal crucial information in order to help a good character. The hard candy person comes out covered in saliva.
Vannelope is tied to a tree while Ralph destroys her kart. Also, later in the movie, Ralph is held onto and restrained by the main villain while Vannelope is surrounded by cy-bugs, however he manges to wriggle free.
For a moment, Ralph’s entire face and mouth are covered in liquid candy that solidified against his skin. He tries to talk but can’t until someone harshly tears it off of him.
A man is stripped off of his clothes while unconscious, included his underwear, so the thief can use his clothes instead. The thief then dresses up the victim with the underwear of another character so he is not left completely naked. That underwear forced in the victim was probably dirty and used by the original owner as well.
A hard candy person is placed inside a humanoid person's mouth as a torment-method for information. It is unclear if the humanoid person could have been able to dissolve the hard candy person if left long enough.
Felix is hit in the face, and one of his injuries is several of his teeth being damaged. Additionally, Vanellope runs into a wall and knocks one of her teeth out. Neither of these injuries last long, however.
A humanoid character dies; they aren't technically human. Most of the characters in this movie are in-universe video game characters who correspond to and behave like their equivalent real-life species (including humans). However, they are made of code and have lifestyles and physical/mental traits that set them apart from non-digital life.
In Fix-It Felix Jr., there is a lake with a small stream behind Niceland Apartments, but it is difficult to see and has no involvement with the plot. It is only clearly visible in Ralph's introduction prologue when he's making a sleeping spot on his brick pile.
Ralph licks and puts Sour Bill in his mouth to interrogate him in one scene. Additionally, (spoiler) King Candy/Turbo is eaten by a cy-bug, causing him to merge with it due to the bugs becoming what they eat.
There is occasional verbal-only potty humor (mostly just a pun on the word "duty"), but not very much at all. The trailers and other marketing for the movie highlight it, so it falsely appears more prominent than it actually is in the film itself.
One of the film's four main characters is programmed to suffer from PTSD, as detailed under the relevant categories elsewhere on this page. Her condition is treated sympathetically and she is not made to appear incompetent or otherwise inferior.
One of the film's main characters suffers from PTSD and is from a first-person shooter game. She is not violent because of her mental illness, but due to her game and situational requirements.
Nothing explicitly in the text, but you could argue that the people of Sugar Rush hating Vanellope for being a glitch might be an allegory for ableism in general. Albeit the abuse is presented as wrong and bullying
See "does someone have an anxiety attack" for more details. But after one character (unknowingly) says a triggering phase to another character, she has a flashback to the triggering event, screaming when she returns to reality. Even when the meltdown itself stops, she's visibly distraught and upset.
One of the four main protagonists suffers from PTSD, and a certain phrase another main protagonist (innocently) uses ends up triggering an episode in her. The other character realizes later that this phrase upsets her and he never says it around her again. There is a romantic event involving these two characters in the epilogue, and we see that precautions are taken at the event to accommodate her PTSD.
Yes; see "Are there anxiety attacks?" below. The character in question is depicted as having both minor "freeze" episodes as well as full flashbacks. This is treated sympathetically by the other characters, particularly in the epilogue.
I don't know why someone said yes. There is no misgendering that is known to the viewer (all characters are called pronouns that match their gender presentation and there's no indication that this is not the correct way to talk about them)
Ralph uses an insult related to vanilla wafers ("Nilly Wafer") in a scene that contained multiple candy-related insults between himself and another character. A writer on the internet misheard "nilly" as "nelly" due to Ralph's inflection, but the movie's script makes it clear that it is "nilly" (likely referencing the Nilla Wafers brand).
Depends how you see it, since they’re all game characters without actual ages and with a backstory and memories already installed in their code. But Fix-It Felix Jr. comes from a video game that was created 30 years ago, while sergeant Calhoun is from a game that was installed a week before the events of the movie.
After the credits, the Walt Disney Animation Studios castle logo glitches out and turns into a Pac-Man killscreen. After a few seconds, the screen goes black with a horizontal flash, like a CRT monitor in an arcade cabinet being turned off.
It is initially believed that a robotic bug died from drowning in liquid taffy, but we later learn that it did not. There is also a scene in which two characters almost sink into quicksand, but they manage to survive.
