* During the duel with Turbo's cy-bug form, Ralph faces someone stronger than him for the first time in his life and struggles a lot because of it. But he still manages to fight smart, go under the savage beast and casually ''throw'' it far away, which allows him to nearly activate the beacon.

* Getting nominated for "Best Animated Feature" at the Oscars.

** The Annie Awards are like Oscars for animated movies. Despite the equally-huge competition from {{WesternAnimation/Brave}} and WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians, the movie won about ''half'' out of the ten it was nominated for, while the other animated movies got no more than two each. Very impressive in itself.
*** The Annies actually have awards like "Best Director" and "Best Musical Score", whereas the Oscars treat animation like the kiddie table at Thanksgiving - no categorical awards, just "Best Animated Feature" overall, as if animation is a genre rather than a medium. So yes, it was a really impressive feat for ''Wreck-It Ralph'' to practically sweep an awards ceremony.

** To explain the above: [[spoiler: King Candy/Turbo, in his mutated Cy-Bug form, [[ForcedToWatch forces Ralph to watch]] as Vanellope is about to get eaten by the Cy-Bugs. Not wanting that, Ralph gains his HeroicSecondWind, breaks free and intends on pulling a HeroicSacrifice by divebombing the Mentos stalactites and sending them into the Diet Cola springs, creating the beacon that would destroy the Cy-Bugs. However, Vanellope has none of that, using her glitching to teleport past the bugs, steal a car, race into the mountain and rescue Ralph from certain death!]]
death!
***[[spoiler: Add a little FridgeBrilliance and this scene becomes even more awesome. The last time Vanellope glitched, she had to focus in order to pull it off, and she wasn't even entirely sure it would work. She has had very little control over her (dis)ability up to now. Yet when she sees Ralph threatened, she ''effortlessly'' glitches over the Cybugs in her way, into a car, and through the walls. "I've got it under control!", indeed.]]

* For that matter, the rescue is a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome in its own right,[[spoiler: Ralph has hit the Mentos and looks stunned, soft music plays as he falls in slow motion, and then BAM, the music picks up and Vanellope is using her glitching to boost herself along the track for a last minute save.]] It would take a person with a soul of ice not to cheer.

* Horrific as it is, one can't help but be impressed by how well[[spoiler: Turbo managed to take over Sugar Rush]]. Rush. The plan was so intricate that the only reason it failed was due to the one thing he couldn't control: [[spoiler:Vanellope's Vanellope's image on the game's cabinet]].

** FridgeBrilliance in that this scene also ties into Ralph's 'villainous backstory' from his game. As it goes, the entire reason he's wrecking the building in his game is because a construction company forced him from his land to build it, but instead of letting it go, he gets mad and starts to wreck the building and take his land back by force. Ralph just isn't the kind of guy to stand by when he sees injustice happen, he's the kind to get angry and take action.

-->“Wreck-It Ralph” manages to be touching as well as silly, thrilling and just a bit exhausting. The secret to its success is a genuine enthusiasm for the creative potential of games, a willingness to take them seriously without descending into nerdy pomposity. I am delighted to surrender my cynicism, at least until I’ve used up today’s supply of quarters.

* Getting nominated for "Best Animated Feature" at the Oscars. It lost out to ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'' but that is still a pretty impressive feat nonetheless considering it's a video game movie - most others are immediately dismissed because of the medium's historically poor conversion to film.
** Immediately following Brave getting the Oscar for "Best Animated Feature," {{Nintendo}} posted a Bowser-related post on Facebook saying [[FunnyMoments "Grr! Wreck-it Ralph was robbed!"]].
** The Annie Awards are probably like Oscars for animated movies.

Very impressive in itself.
*** The Annies actually have awards like "Best Director" and "Best Musical Score", whereas the Oscars treat animation like the kiddie table at Thanksgiving - no categorical awards, just "Best Animated Feature" overall, as if animation is a genre rather than a medium. So yes, it was a really impressive feat for ''Wreck-It Ralph'' to practically sweep an awards ceremony.

-->“Wreck-It Ralph” manages to be touching as well as silly, thrilling and just a bit exhausting. The secret to its success is a genuine enthusiasm for the creative potential of games, a willingness to take them seriously without descending into nerdy pomposity. I am delighted to surrender my cynicism, at least until I’ve used up today’s supply of quarters.

* Getting nominated for "Best Animated Feature" at the Oscars. It lost out to ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'' but that is still a pretty impressive feat nonetheless considering it's a video game movie - most others are immediately dismissed because of the medium's historically poor conversion to film.
** Immediately following Brave getting the Oscar for "Best Animated Feature," {{Nintendo}} posted a Bowser-related post on Facebook saying [[FunnyMoments "Grr! Wreck-it Ralph was robbed!"]].
** The Annie Awards are probably like Oscars for animated movies. Despite the equally-huge competition from {{WesternAnimation/Brave}} and WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians, the movie won about ''half'' out of the ten it was nominated for, while the other animated movies got no more than two each. Very impressive in itself.
*** The Annies actually have awards like "Best Director" and "Best Musical Score", whereas the Oscars treat animation like the kiddie table at Thanksgiving - no categorical awards, just "Best Animated Feature" overall, as if animation is a genre rather than a medium. So yes, it was a really impressive feat for ''Wreck-It Ralph'' to practically sweep an awards ceremony.

* The way Calhoun reacts when Felix kisses her on the cheek is absolute perfection. She's startled at first, then grabs Felix by the front of his shirt, glaring at him as if she's gonna kill him, but then that little smirk on her face, you could almost hear her saying, in her military voice, "is '''that''' what you call a kiss, maggot?!" before proceeding to teach Felix what a ''real'' kiss is!
