Wynnchel and Duncan

**Wynnchel and Duncan** are minor antagonists from the 2012 film Wreck-It Ralph.

## Background

Wynnchel and Duncan are non-playable characters from the Litwak's Arcade video game Sugar Rush. They are programmed to act as security guards to Princess Vanellope von Schweetz. When Sugar Rush was hijacked by Turbo, Wynnchel and Duncan were reprogrammed to serve as King Candy's subordinates. With no recollection of their past or Vanellope's status as their princess, the duo were fiercely loyal to King Candy and his goal to keep Vanellope from racing on account of being a "glitch".

To carry out King Candy's orders, Wynnchel and Duncan were equipped with numerous weapons and resources that could be used against rabble-rousers (such as TASERs, batons, and the Devil Dogs). Rather than go-karts, the doughnuts operated on mopeds modeled after the Royal Racer.

Despite King Candy's trust in them, however, they are rather pathetic at their job, and often fail their tasks due to their incompetence and weak-will. They are also quite cowardly and pretentious; when Wreck-It Ralph first appeared on the racetrack covered in taffy, Wynnchel and Duncan cowered in fear, until Ralph inadvertently trapped himself in a giant cupcake. Wynnchel and Duncan then proceeded to pompously attack him. While they are not particularly villainous, they are malicious in that they enjoy inflicting pain onto others, making them borderline ruthless and corrupt.

## Film Appearances

### Wreck-It Ralph

When Vanellope von Schweetz, a young girl who was banned from racing in Sugar Rush because she's a glitch, weasels her way into the Random Roster Race, Wynnchel and Duncan are called forth to arrest her, but a taffy monster interferes and scares the donuts away. The distraction allows Vanellope to escape, while the taffy monster gets itself stuck in a giant cupcake, allowing Wynnchel and Duncan to capture it and take it to King Candy. There, the monster is revealed to be Wreck-It Ralph, who was looking for his medal that Vanellope stole. King Candy tells him that it's impossible to retrieve his medal because she deposited it in the codes along with the other gold coins, which now allows her to race. Wynnchel and Duncan are then ordered to escort Ralph out of Sugar Rush, but Ralph escapes and searches for racers to win back his medal.

Later on, Wynnchel, Duncan, and King Candy head to the kart factory where Vanellope and Ralph have broken in to make a kart. On their motorcycles, Wynnchel and Duncan chase Ralph and Vanellope down, but they lose them. King Candy orders the duo to continue searching, but after a while, Wynnchel and Duncan return to the castle to inform the king that they've failed and King Candy ordered them to leave.

During the climax, Duncan can be spotted escaping Sugar Rush during the Cy-Bug invasion caused by Ralph accidentally bringing a Cy-Bug from Hero's Duty into Sugar Rush. Thanks to Ralph, the Cy-Bugs were defeated, as was King Candy, who turned out to be a rogue video game character who dominated Sugar Rush, dethroning Vanellope who is the game's true ruler. Fortunately, Vanellope is revealed to be the "Princess of Sugar Rush", but decides to make herself president instead. Wynnchel and Duncan then gladly return to Vanellope's side as her security guards.

Wynnchel and Duncan have a final appearance during the end-credits sequence; apparently participating in game-jumping adventures like the lead characters, the duo is glimpsed running from Cyril the Zombie (with a few more zombies) chasing them.

### Ralph Breaks the Internet

Wynnchel and Duncan return in the sequel. When Sugar Rush gets unplugged, they rush to Game Central Station, trampling over the Surge Protector as they do, where they're reduced to sobbing messes at the loss of their home.

### Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers

Wynnchel and Duncan make an appearance in the film as members of Toontown's police department.
