Alan Tudyk Says Disney Cut His 'Race Riot' Ad-Lib From 'Wreck-It Ralph'
His account surfaced in a podcast clip shared on Instagram without a studio response.
Overview
- Tudyk, who voiced King Candy, said he improvised the line, “Please, everybody, stop… I don’t want a race riot on my hands,” as a wordplay on a racing scene.
- He said director Rich Moore liked the joke, but Walt Disney Animation Studios executives removed it before release.
- Coverage points out that the released chase sequence in the 2012 film does not contain the ad-libbed line.
- The disclosure comes from Tudyk’s appearance on Toon’d In! with Jim Cummings, highlighted in a clip posted to Cummings’ Instagram.
- Disney Dining reports Tudyk’s claim that an early Arizona screening kept the line, though it was cut from the final version.
