History TearJerker / WreckItRalph

** The new trailer even has Vanellope say "Everyone says I'm a mistake".

[[caption-width-right:350: [- Pictured: the homeless cast of QBert. "Will appear as a NonPlayerCharacter in a FirstPersonShooter for food". [[YouBastard Are you happy,]] [[TakeThat modern gaming industry]]?[[hottip:*: [[http://www.chipandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/wreckit.jpg (on the brighter side of things, though...)]] -] ]]

RogerEbert once stated that VideoGames aren't art to him. Nevermind the gamers' community's InternetBackdraft, ''this'' is what will make anyone with that idea change his or her mind. Because, just as ''ToyStory'' did with toys, ''WreckItRalph'' will do with VideoGames: showing the heart that lies within such things.

And given this is [[{{TearJerker/Disney}} Disney]] we're talking about, the task will be accomplished in the most [[TearJerker gut-wrenching]] of ways.

* Seeing that Q*bert and his crew are now homeless and starving, as a result of their game being unplugged. Ralph giving them the giant cherry is both tear-jerking ''and'' [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming heartwarming.]]
** Extra heart-wrenching when you remember that Ralph ''lives on a pile of bricks in a dump'' in his own game, and likely doesn't have that much access to decent food himself. Sharing the cherries with the Q*bert characters shows that he really is a good, selfless person.

--> '''Hunter Daniels:''' "Vanellope’s status as a glitch and her various digital malfunctions place her as a very, very sad character indeed. She spends her nights hiding out in the unfinished track for her unfinished level, cuddling up with candy wrappers as her blankets as she dreams about the day that she’ll finally get to race. ''She’s like a physically disabled and orphaned undocumented ten-year old with delusions of grandeur.'' So, you know, not your typical Disney heroine."

* In Sonic the Hedgehog's cameo, he gives a public-service announcement about dying outside of someone else's game. That implies that [[FridgeHorror someone going out of their games and DYING has happened before]]. How would Sonic know about this? Remember that old arcade Sonic game, the one that featured [[PutOnABus Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel]]? They haven't been seen since. What's worse, Ray the Flying Squirrel was [[InfantImmortality about the same age as Tails]]. Let that sink in.
* Ralph's game has an automatic intro which appears when the game isn't played. It shows how his home is destroyed to make place for the Niceland Appartment. If anything happening on screen is the characters playing roles, this means that Ralph has to relife his backstory over and over.

* Ralph tries to get into his game's 30th anniversary party, but gets a door slammed in his face. In fact, him not being invited at all to the celebration of a game ''where he is one of the main characters'' is so unbelievably stupid and disgusting that it makes me feel sick. [[SarcasmMode Good job,]] [[YouBastard Nicelanders.]]

* Sergeant Calhoun's backstory. Dear God, her backstory. Her fiance was eaten by a Cy-Bug ''at the altar on their wedding day'' because she forgot to do a perimeter check.

** Wanna make it worse? She's pretty much the Deconstruction Personification of the DummiedOut trope: she is what it's like for ''every character'' that had to be dummied out of the final product of a game. If this is what it's like to be her, [[FridgeHorror what is it like for other characters who will never be played in their games?]]

Oh, and it's directed by Rich [[TearJerker/TheSimpsons "Lisa's Substitute"]] Moore. Bottom-line as to what that means: you ''will'' cry, so prepare your tissues.
