Walt Disney Pictures has assembled another star-studded voice cast for its
arcade-game-hopping adventure, "Wreck-It Ralph." John C. Reilly has
the title role, "30 Rock" actor Jack McBrayer provides the
voice for Fix-It Felix, Jr., while "Glee" actress Jane Lynch is cast as
Sergeant Calhoun and Sarah Silverman gives voice to the character of Vanellope
von Schweetz.

Other stars lending their vocal talents to the Disney Animation Studios
project are "Modern Family" actor Ed O'Neill as Mr. Litwak, comedian Adam
Carolla as Wynchel and Horatio Sanz from "Saturday Night Live" as Duncan.
Opening in theaters on November 2, 2012, the movie is directed by
Emmy-winning director Rich Moore. The story surrounds Ralph who has been
overshadowed by Fix-It Felix as the good guy star of their video game who
always gets to save the day. Tired of playing the second-fiddle bad guy role,
Ralph takes video bits into his own massive hands and sets off on a journey
across arcade screens through multiple generations of video games to prove he
has what it takes to be a hero.

"Wreck-It Ralph" has all the trappings of being 2012's version of Disney's
1988 hit film "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," which featured a who's-who in classic
animation from the House of the Mouse, Warner Brothers, Fleischer Studios, King
Features Syndicate, Turner Entertainment, Universal Pictures and Walter Lantz
Productions. "Wreck-It" is expected to clump a number of licensed video game characters
onto the screen together. For instance, one scene from the movie's first
theatrical-release trailer shows Ralph attending a support group for the
arcade's various villain characters, including Clyde the orange ghost from
Pac-Man, Doctor Eggman from Sonic the Hedgehog and Bowser from Super Mario
Brothers.
"Wreck-It Ralph" will be Walt Disney Animation Studios' 52nd production.
