Yes, I've already posted this on page 4 of this thread.

Oh yeah, I figured someone might have, I'm sorry for not checking back first

Before moving onto "Gravity Falls" last year, I had an amazing opportunity to help develop the world, look and game-play surrounding the main characters of "Wreck-It Ralph". It was an incredibly unique challenge that pushed me away from animation and into pseudo-game developing. It was an incredibly fun challenge to create the gameplay and look of an 8-bit game that could easily fit right into 1982-83 arcade games like "Donkey Kong", "Pacman", and "Galaga". I did lots of research that I won't bore you with, but really tried to stay true to the technological limitations in color palate, pixel count and dimension to those of it's predecessors.

While working on it, I developed a huge respect for the designers of classic limited games. It made me want to take classic 8-bit Mario and hang him next to a Michelangelo. Shigeru Miyamoto is a true master of design and made me really re-think design in terms of how little you need to show to communicate an idea, but also how each individual pixel's placement could make a huge difference in clarity. It was also fun to do some development for the graphics for the arcade cabinet itself. I really wanted to stay true to the slightly wonky Japanese graphics like the ones on the classic Donkey Kong Cabinet and have the character designs intentionally off-model as though the art direction was communicated over a long distance call to a Japanese artist. It looks like they did a really great job with the graphics used on the machine and I was stoked to see this a real tangible game at the D23 Expo. Kudos to the Ralph crew!

Disney Feature (otherwise known as "Walt Disney Animation Studios") is well under way on Wreck-It Ralph, with animation now in work and lighters and finalers waiting for ramp-up.

Disney is hiring CG animators right now as well.

I was at Disney Feature (aka "Walt Disney Animation Studios") yesterday. Wreck-It Ralph is going full bore, with a couple of supes telling me that there will be more hires in the near future.

Thanks for always updating this (and every other thread) Sotiris!

This is probably the only thing we know about that I'm looking forward to atm.

Not in my opinion. The title is supposed to sound as a typical video game from the 80s- "Les mondes de Ralph" doesn't.

The video game tie-in opportunities for this are awesome. Who wants to bet Disney screws that up?

I think Disney works best in fairy tales, fantasy, and escapism. Modern day things just don't suit them. Just my opinion.

The American logo hurts my eyes less with the lines through it. I am still really worried about what the beginning of this film is going to do to people's eyes.
