The promotion for this movie has elevated hype to an art form. I still think the asteroid mining story that broke a couple of weeks ago is part of the orchestrated hype leading up to this movie's release. ;)

Mike Vogel: "Much of the talk about Wreck-It Ralph this week will be about the fact that it comes out in Digital HD on February 12th–almost a month ahead of the DVD release. I’m all for anything that makes DVDs less relevant, but I think the transmedia strategy behind Wreck-It Ralph is more innovative than releasing a movie digitally."

Mike Vogel ponders the difference between transmedia and marketing when it comes to Wreck-It Ralph.
