Visual Reference; Wreck-It Ralph - Thesis

Wreck-It Ralph

In addition to my own animation, roughly titled 'Baby Troubles', I chose the 2012 computer-animated film Wreck-It Ralph from Walt Disney Animation Studios to use as an example as due to the similarities it held to my original animation in terms of the stages of the narrative method, the Hero's Journey.


Call to Adventure


For Ralph, his call to adventure comes from the loneliness he feels as he is often excluded from the activities the other residences of his game hold in honour for Felix, the 'good guy' of his game. Ralph is urged his call when he decides he want's to be a good guy.

Herald


The Herald for Ralph, the person who taunts him into going after a medal, us Gene, the hotel manager. He says if Ralph can find a Medal, he'll be allowed to stay in the penthouse.

Refusal of the Call


Ralph does not refuse his call, he gladly leaves his own game to search out the object of his desire, the Medal that he believes will make him appear to be a good guy, a hero.

Ordeal


After all his trails, after gaining allies and enemies and getting over many thresholds, Ralph is faced with his main Ordeal; destroy the cart he can Vanellope worked to create in return for his medal.
