Wreck-it Ralph

i have the blu-ray + dvd pack

maaaaan, those deleted scenes are neat
 
Just finished watching this movie with my mom. Man, it was awesome.
So, if I got the main parts of the story right, Ralph abandoned his game because he wanted to be good, after an incident of getting a medal in Hero's Duty, he lands in Sugar Rush where he meets Vanellope (sp?), who is said to be a glitch who wanted to race. That sour green jawbreaker thing (forgot his name) had said Vanellope is only a glitch because King Candy tried to remove her coding, then he locked up everyone's memory. Near the end, Vanellope was racing against King Candy, who soon revealed to be Turbo Tastic, and after some fighting between Ralph and King Candy/Turbo Tastic, Vanellope crosses the finish line and the game resets to reveal she was their princess and everyone got their memory right. Then Vanellope became president of Sugar Rush.

So, if I got everything right, King Candy tried to remove her coding because he wanted to be ruler of a racing game again and had to get rid of the princess.

Right?
 
My bro pirated it (lol why? nevermind) so I had a chance to watch it again. Loved it just as much as I first watched it.

Right.
 
I still have yet to see this. I didn't see it in theaters and I have no idea when it's going to be out on DVD in Australia. Google searches are no help.

Your brother should be ashamed of himself.

I got this on DVD the other day and watched it last night,I saw some video game references I didn't see before,like Jenkins
was painted on one of the walls in the game station and the "glitch screen" at the end of the credits.

First of, it's Sour Bill (incidentally, Rich Moore, the director of the movie, voices him). Second,
It's just Turbo, as far as I'm aware of; Turbo-Tastic is just his catchphrase. Third, turbo is such a glory-hog that he abandoned his game and went into another, causing them both to be permanently unplugged. At some point afterward, he invaded Sugar Rush, created the identity of King Candy, then tried to outright DELETE Vanellope's code, which is basically saying he tried to KILL her, but could only make her a glitch. He basically did ALL of this so that he could dominate that game, be on top of it, and rule as it's best racer. What a dick.
 
Well, since Pyro ignored my question, I looked some of the deleted scenes up on YouTube, and found this one:


I can't even explain in words how twisted and out-of-character this is. Vanellope is actually taking pleasure in visualizing one of the other Sugar Rush racers dying, and is going into detail about it; not to mention Ralph approving and elaborating on her ideas. You can tell they didn't scrap this scene entirely, though, because we still see Vanellope's secret volcano, and she still says she sleeps like a "little homeless lady", but the spitting hole and the scene I just mentioned were omitted.

It's like Black Friday Woody.

Oh god, that was horrid.

But I'm still pretty shocked that Disney even conceived that scene for Wreck-it Ralph in the first place. That's the darkest Disney scene I've seen since the part of Toy Story 3 where they almost sacrifice themselves in the incinerator.
 
That deleted scene reminded me of the deleted bar scene from Tangled, and was just as disturbing.

Although, the angle of Felix tagging along with Ralph as the two got to know each other WOULD be cool... If Ralph and Vanellope didn't seem so eager to watch Taffyta die. Hell, the reason WHY I liked Ralph is because, all gruffiness aside, he's actually a pretty nice guy, but here... He's definitely not looking to win over anyone.

It's times like this where I remember why deleted scenes become deleted scenes.

Can you honestly blame either of them though? Ralph and Vanellope are both treated like crap in their own games for things they have very little control over. Granted, in Vanellope's case Turbo is the one to blame instead of the Sugar Rush kids but still...and besides they're probably just venting how upset they area.

Also something I've been wondering about, when Vanellope threatens to execute everyone, why are they worried? Unless Vanellope holds the executions outside of Sugar Rush, they can't actually die.

He probably acted like that because the writers were trying to decide what kind of personality Ralph should have.

That's true... In fact, my mom and I watched some behind-the-scenes stuff for Up regarding Charles Muntz, about his characterization and how he gets killed off, and she was genuinely surprised at how much thought goes into this kind of stuff.

I felt the same with WALL-E. I felt the movie was absolutely perfect the way it was, and watching the deleted scenes, something was just so... off about all of them. I guess it takes a while before getting to that sweet center.

Ah yes, WALL-E was indeed perfect. What were the deleted scenes like?

I guess so. I'm just glad they took it out, it would just be really messed up if they kept it, as it is a very dark subject matter to be covered in a Disney film.

Also, the other day, I realized Rihanna's song "Shut Up and Drive" is actually about sex. It was pretty fitting in the scene where Vanellope learns to drive, but the fact that the song's actual meaning is provacative kinda makes me question why they used it in the film. Then again, most young kids that watch it won't notice that the lyrics are actually about that, anyways.

Meh, after all the Disney movies I've seen, I'm not too surprised. The fact that the laughing soundtrack was removed for movies that were based on Disney Channel shows may have something do with it in those particular movies.

That is known as "Getting Crap Past the Radar". It happens quite often in cartoons.

I'm pretty sure that's just a joke. Without them bawling, it wouldn't be as funny

I haven't realized it. If you don't know the song's origins, you don't realize it.

Well, one involved EVE and WALL-E sneaking around the Axiom, and it turns out, WALL-E waited until that moment to show that the plant's safe, and he tried the hand-thing with EVE, who didn't seem to understand... It felt awkward, because why would WALL-E wait until THEN to show that the plant's safe? Plus, I liked the context of WALL-E trying to do the hand-thing in the actual movie, in which they're sneaking, and WALL-E plays the music, and EVE hushes him because they don't want to get caught.

Another deleted scene involves the trash evacuation scene, only the roles reversed. EVE ends up badly injured and chucked down the waste shoot, inadvertently hitting WALL-E along the way. WALL-E has a funny little interaction with the WALL-As, ends up saving EVE thanks to M-O, and uses the lighter he had with him to fix EVE. It's at that point EVE was going to try the hand-thing with WALL-E, until WALL-E shows her the plant and they go off.

Funnily enough, changing this one scene changed SO many other aspects of the movie. Personally, I am SO glad they changed this in the final version, because this makes it seem like EVE STILL is more focused on her mission than about WALL-E, but there's more to it than that. See, originally, that tag thing EVE wore throughout most of the movie was just supposed to signify that she's a defective robot, and thus have her stick out to be identified as such by other robots or whoever. Instead, in the final version, they made it so that the tag shuts her down, and thus, gives us a reason why she's unable to fight back at first. There's also the idea that WALL-E is incredibly weak after this, and thus it makes him trying to keep the holo-detecter from closing all the more moving, to see a little robot literally on his last life still trying with all his might to help.

And of course, there's also the ending. Originally, EVE was supposed to fix WALL-E and he's all better, and there was a gag about WALL-E's house having a big hole in it now and EVE's trying to avert him from that, but Andrew Stanton felt it lacked something... Then someone (I forget who) pointed out what if fixing WALL-E DIDN'T return him normal, and that really shook him... So much so he included it, and made it so that the "spark" was enough to bring him back.

Like I said, a lot of thought goes into these movies...

Blu-Ray or regular DVD?

I'd prefer Blu-Ray; when you pause the DVD, it has awesome intermissions with Chris Hardwick, one of my favorite G4 hosts. Not to mention overall better picture quality.
