If you listened to the second episode of Bubble Pipe Theater, you know we were geeking out about Disney’s 2012 animated movie Wreck-it-Ralph. It’s an animated movie set in the world of multiple video games and will include some real-life video game characters, so you can imagine why we’re excited.
Over at Jim Hill Media, they’ve got some images and new details from Disney’s presentation at D23. One tidbit I was happy to read involves how the look of the film will vary depending on which game the title character is in:
” ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ will actually have a number of different art directions. As our title character moves from his original 8-bit game to a more modern shooter game, you’ll see the art direction of this movie change. Likewise when Wreck-It Ralph moves to the world of an elaborate kart racing game, you’ll see the art direction of this movie change yet again,” Moore explained.
Head over to JHM to read the rest, and let us know what video game characters you hope they include in the movie.

Ok guys, I’m going to say it. Jurassic Park is my favorite movie. Ever. I always have a tough time finalizing any kind of a top five or top ten list, but I’m always confident that Spielberg’s dinosaur extravaganza is the movie that makes me most happy. I’m already super excited that Jurassic Park on Blu-ray is finally a reality this year, but now I’m even more giddy.
The chance to see my favorite movie on the big screen again has me so excited I can’t stand it. I will be there and I’m going to drag as many Top Hat Sasquatch team members along with me as I can, you can count on that.
Also, I’m super excited that this will give me an excuse to have a Jurassic Park themed episode of Bubble Pipe Theater soon.

I’m not one to buy expensive collector toys, but it’s a habit I wouldn’t mind starting with Hot Toys’ upcoming 1989 Batman figures. The detail is amazing, and of course the figures come with an insane collection of extra heads, hands, weapons, and accessories. These figures run about $250 a pop, and you can preorder Batman and The Joker at Sideshow Collectibles.

Director Dan Trachtenberg did something I never thought would have been necessary or possible: he made me want a Portal movie. Video game movies suck, and as much as I love Portal, I never considered it Hollywood material. Then I saw Portal: No Escape.
Suddenly I realized that being held hostage by a psycho organization led by GLaDOS that just wants to use you as a guinea pig is kind of creepy, and using their own weapon against them to escape is kind of exciting.
Dan, I kind of really want you to make this into a feature.
