Of all the films currently on the Disney slate, WRECK-IT RALPH is the one that has THN most excited. An amusing twist on the classic and modern video game, the film stars THN favourite John C. Reily as the titular Ralph, a villain from a old school arcade game who longs to play the hero. When he sneaks into a first-person shooter, Ralph unwittingly releases a dangerous villain who threatens to destroy the entire arcade. The real appeal of WRECK-IT RALPH is the inventive re-imagining of the video game world (not to mention cameos of classic gaming characters), and the promise of some vintage 8-bit action!
Never one to miss an ace marketing opportunity (see last year’s awesome MUPPETS campaign), Disney has released these Olympic-themed WRECK-IT RALPH TV spots.
Check them out!
WRECK-IT RALPH co-stars Jane Lynch, Jack McBrayer, Alan Tudyk, and Sarah Silverman. It arrives in UK cinemas February 2013.
