More viral marketing from is afoot from Disney, who recently presented the online world with an original commercial they "found" for the coin-op classic Fix-It Felix Jr.
Say what you will about Disney, but they definitely pulled out all the stops in quality to ensure that this commercial was from of an old, old, VHS tape that had been viewed many times. They even nailed the audio quality of the guy doing the cheesey voiceover. Ironic, the kids that are in the demographic to see "Wreck-It Ralph" probably don't even know what VHS is...or was. Really pulls on the 'ol heartstrings...
In addition, they also created an old-school one sheet ad for the game too. Check it out below!
Really brings ya back, huh? If that's not enough, you can even play the "classic" arcade game over at Disney's web site. No quarters required. They also provide access to some of the other "games" featured in the movie, like the shooter Hero's Duty and the cart racer Sugar Rush.
Tired of playing the role of the villain, the meat-fisted Ralph hops from his own game, eager to prove his mettle that he can be a hero. During his travels, he comes across numerous other video games and their stars, including various Street Fighter characters, Bowser from Super Mario Bros., Dr. Robotnik from Sonic the Hedgehog, even old school characters from Q*bert.
Featuring the voices of Sarah Silverman, Jane Lynch, Jack McBrayer, and John C. Reilly, "Wreck-It Ralph" arrives in theatres Nov. 12.
