Wreck-It Ralph is a Disneymedia franchise primarily consisting of an animated comedy film series produced byWalt Disney Animation Studios and released byWalt Disney Pictures. The series tells the story of the eponymousarcade gamevillain named Wreck-It Ralph, who rebels against his "bad guy" role and dreams of becoming a hero. The series has grossed $1 billion worldwide.

The series is notable for featuring cameos of characters from licensed properties including video games and various Disney franchises.^[1][2]

Ralph, desiring to be the hero, sneaks intoHero's Duty to steal the hero medal there, but inadvertently fires himself off in an escape ship when attacked by a Cy-Bug, one of the game's enemies, through the power strip, and intoSugar Rush, where he meets Vanellope for the first time. Vanellope is aglitch within the game who wants to become a playable character, and Ralph helps her along, forming a bond between them. Felix and Calhoun team up to find Ralph beforeFix-It Felix, Jr. is to be unplugged, and before the Cy-Bug can reproduce inSugar Rush and destroy the game. Ralph discovers that the population ofSugar Rush has been suppressed by King Candy, who is really Turbo; not only had he managed to escape intoSugar Rush, but also rewrote part of Vanellope's code, displacing her as the game's main character. Ralph, Vanellope, Felix, and Calhoun work together and defeat Turbo and the Cy-Bugs, saving bothSugar Rush and the arcade and later sparingFix-It Felix, Jr. from being unplugged. Ralph is finally recognized as a hero, and happily returns to his duties in his game, while Vanellope enjoys her new popularity among the arcade players.

Six years after the events of the first film,Sugar Rush's racing wheel is damaged, and due to the company that producedSugar Rush going defunct years earlier, Mr. Litwak plans to take the game away for spare parts. Ralph and Vanellope learn of a replacement wheel fromeBay, and use a new Internet router in the arcade to travel to the Internet to get it, while the recently married Felix and Calhoun stay to make sure theSugar Rush characters have a temporary home. Ralph and Vanellope successfully win the auction but do not have the funds to get it, and look for job opportunities. When Ralph finds a way to earn all the funds by becoming a viral video star with the help of Yesss, he discovers that Vanellope may want to stay in the gritty racing gameSlaughter Race and not return to the arcade thanks to Shank, a character from that game. This prompts Ralph to use adark web virus to shut down the game and save Vanellope, only for thevirus to turn on Ralph's own insecure feelings and start propagating through the Internet and destroying it. Ralph, Vanellope, and their newfound allies are able to stop the virus in time thanks to the power of Ralph and Vanellope's rekindled friendship. The two say their goodbyes and Ralph returns to the arcade just asSugar Rush is plugged back in. The two keep in contact, however.

John C. Reilly says that he has an idea if a third film was to be made, he would consider seeing Ralph and Vanellope "beaming themselves right out into space", Fix-It Felix Jr. saved them and reunited.^[3]

DirectorsRich Moore andPhil Johnston said that aRalph Breaks the Internet spin-off film focusing on theDisney Princesses could be made depending on the audience's response and "if there's a good story to be told".^[4]

Taking place after the events of the film, the game follows Ralph and Felix as they traverse through Fix-It Felix Jr., Hero's Duty, and Sugar Rush in an attempt to stop a new army of Cy-Bugs that hatched during one of Vanellope's races.

The mobile version of the same name, is centered around playable versions of the games featured in the film such as Fix it Felix Jr, Hero's Duty, Sugar Rush, and Turbo Time.
