[quote] Wreck-it Ralph was Disney's charming video game-themed animated movie about the titular Ralph, a Donkey Kong-style arcade machine villain, embarking on a journey across (video game) worlds to prove that he could be the hero. Now, according to John C. Riley, a sequel is in the works. [/quote] [url]http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/141554-Wreck-it-Ralph-2-Being-Developed[/url]
Heard about this earlier. Hope it ends up being genuinely good, and not just a cash grab as with most children's movie sequels.
Definitely going to see it. The first one was fucking awesome, and adorable, and one of the few movies where I actually wanted to march right back in and watch it a second time.
Wreck-it Ralph is one of the few movies that I am always up for re-watching, looking forward to it.
Jennifer Lee must be fucking loaded now
Since it is official now, I wonder if this means Nintendo and Disney finally came to a conclusion on the Mario being a major character discussion for the sequel.
I hope characters from actual games have bigger roles in this one.
Yeah, nothing would be sicker than to see the real characters having some sort of actual bearing on the plot. The closest we got was like, Sonic being the main dude of the arcade hub... thing

I just need another meeting of the villains and I will be satisfied.
Konami, Activision, and EA games as the bad guys of the movie. Do it.
Needs to involve PC games somehow so that way some very familiar 9 mercs can appear.

Please be a solid sequel that the studio actually wanted to produce. :xfiles:
I hope we don't stay in Candy Land and have unnecessary romance plots. Well, I can hope that, but it's gonna be in there anyway.

Wasn't it said somewhere before that the sequel would have something to do with MMOs? I could have sworn I read that somewhere.
[QUOTE=Zero-Point;48208175]Disney didn't own Pixar until 2006, Toy Story 2 came out in 1999.[/QUOTE] Ownership aside, John Lasseter (a big-time Pixar founder) is the head of Disney's Animation Studio in addition to Pixar, and also came up with the whole idea of Wreck-It Ralph. So it's a story created by a Pixar guy and assembled by Disney's main animation studio, rather than the Pixar guys. So while externally it's a Disney movie made by Disney studios, at its core it was created and written by the same mind behind most of Pixar's biggest successes.

Calling it now, the villain of Wreck-it Ralph 2 is Fix-It Felix Senior. Maybe Fix-It Felix Jr discovers that he's the son of a villain, due to the characters living normal lives...but only within the confines of the games they inhabit and interact with. the first Fix-It Felix was probably a tyrant who seemingly handed his hammer down to Jr to continue the madness. this puts Felix Jr into an extensional slump about his origins which Mario (or some other character) perks him back up. it then boils down to Fix-It Felix Jr being the 3rd game, he actually teams up with his father (from the 2nd game, who saw the error of his ways in-universe) against the more villainous version of his father from the 1st game, the 2nd game probably is one of those Jr games; 1st game is Fix-It Felix Snr and Wreck-It Ralph, 2nd game being Fix-It Felix Jr and Wreck-It Ralph Jr, with Felix Snr as a hostage. the 3rd game has both Fix-It Felix Jr and Wreck-It Ralph. maybe WIR Jr is a secret antagonist using Felix Snr for cover? Fix-It Felix Jr only gets a game because of his unexpected popularity in Wreck-It Ralph Jr/WIR 2. the original father hates the fact that he's forgotten and can't come to grips with Jr being more loved than his rival to the extent that the game wasn't named after him, but after Wreck-It Ralph. this is slightly distant with Wreck-it Ralph Jr who sees his father as a disgrace who's both a villain and NOT the star of his game. Ralph Junior's motivation is probably a combination of not being popular to the extent that he's effectively wiped out from continuity. you know, kind of like Donkey Kong Junior. even Donkey Kong 94 is called Donkey Kong...and Junior got milked for some shamless sequels and edutainment spinoffs.
[QUOTE=Inspecter;48207161]Needs to involve PC games somehow so that way some very familiar 9 mercs can appear.[/QUOTE] So you also break little baby man's possessions? Putting that aside, I'll just lay out this basic plot outline here, which will be the arcade going out of business and some game nerd buys all the popular cabinets that were in there, including Sugar Rush, Hero's Duty and Fix It Felix Jr. Ralph, Felix, Calhoun and Vanellope are thrust into an all new, even bigger hub that splits into multiple areas, the PC Gaming Area, Console Gaming Area, and the Mobile Gaming area, which opens and closes every few hours or so. The Gamer Nerd downloads and runs emulators on his computer, which creates copies of their respective video game character. The Gamer Nerd eventually runs into an emulator which contains a virus inside it. The virus manages to sneak past the Anti-Virus Security program and into the PC area, where it sneaks into the inner-workings and creates havoc. Eventually, the PC area is closed off by the Anti-Virus Security Program and contains the virus inside of the PC. Ralph, Vanellope, Felix and Calhoun sneak into the PC area of the station, only to find harmful, glitchy substance covering the entire room around them, and a gargantuan, robotic spider creature walking through the epicenter. The Virus notices the group in the room and chases them back to the station. The gang find a hiding spot from The Virus and the Virus goes past them without noticing. The Virus has wandered into the Console Gaming area and begins to infect the console area too, which forces the Console Gaming characters into hiding. The infection eventually spreads to the Main Hub itself and The Virus begins to take over. Ralph finally decides to put a stop to it and assemble a team to combat The Virus. After having multiple close calls with The Virus and the glitchy substance, Ralph and the gang have assembled an army of video game characters from all games to fight the Virus. Games range from Team Fortress 2, Portal, Dota 2, LittleBigPlanet, Castle Crashers, Super Mario Bros. and many more. The fight starts off in the main hub with a surprise attack on the Virus. The Virus is overwhelmed and begins to die, but the Virus begins to fight back. The Virus stomps one of it's legs on the ground, which sends out blue-colored cracks through the ground which has random numbers and text pouring out of them. This crack hits multiple characters and mortally wounds them, even killing some of them. The Virus lets out a roar which temporarily makes the characters deaf and go numb, this allows the virus to sneak up on any unsuspecting characters and strike them. The Virus is beginning to win the fight now and it doesn't seem like there's much hope for a come-back, until Vanellope and Calhoun come up with a plan to sneak back into the PC area and start up emulators in order to get back-up. This plan works and back-up arrives on the scene. The tide turns and the Video Game characters make a come-back. Eventually the virus is defeated after Felix fixes a broken cannon that fires a huge fireball and kills the virus. After a long battle and all corrupted characters or parts of the station are healed. The characters have a celebration in the main hub with a giant cake and medals for Ralph, Vanellope, Felix and Calhoun.

Solid Snake for the movie please, at a least a cameo

[QUOTE=godzirra;48209689]~plot idea~[/QUOTE] I'd never imagine emulators and computer viruses being major plot elements of a children's Disney movie
I just hope this one actually sticks to being about [I]games[/I]. It annoyed me that they just sort of forgot what the film was supposed to be about in the second half, they stopped making any references to games, and just started making references to candy.
Going off old school video game logic the sequel will have something to do with a Miss Wreck-it-Ralph or a Wreck-it-Ralph Jr.
