**Rancis Fluggerbutter** is a minor character in Disney's 2012 animated feature film, *Wreck-It Ralph* and its 2018 sequel. He is one of the racers from *Sugar Rush*, with his candy theme associated with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Along with Candlehead, he is one of Taffyta Muttonfudge’s cronies.

## Appearance

Rancis is a young boy with fair, freckled skin, rosy cheeks, bright blue eyes, and deep blonde hair styled into an upward cowlick. He wears a brown Reese's hat and brown blazer over an orange shirt with two yellow stripes on it, brown pants, and chocolate brown shoes which have a chocolate syrup rim. His blazer has peanut butter-colored accents on the sleeves. For racing, he wears a chocolate and peanut butter helmet with a yellow visor.

## Personality

Rancis always seems to be very dedicated in his endeavors, whether it be bullying Vanellope or racing for the Sugar Rush Cup. Often, Rancis is seen looking at himself in the rearview mirror or primping; when interacting with others, he is usually shown smirking or gloating, suggesting he is somewhat egotistical and considers others as a source of amusement. In *One Sweet Race*, Rancis' softer side comes to light when he falls victim to Taffyta's teasing. Determined to win a trophy, Rancis ends up selling all his possessions to buy a superior kart.

His character is more fleshed out in *One Sweet Race* as he is shown to have never won a Sugar Rush Cup and had worked hard to win one, even going so far as to go to sell all of his belongings to go to the bakery and buy the best kart there was, only to crash it due to his inexperience. He is shown in a more sympathetic light as a person who works hard to achieve his goals, can be sensitive as he was hurt by Taffyta's remarks about him never being able to win a Sugar Rush cup, and a hard worker as he did not give up in trying to win.

## Trivia

* His racing kart is supposed to represent an off road kart typically those seen in Pro buggy racing during the 80s.
* He is one of three male Sugar Rush racers (the others being Gloyd Orangeboar and Swizzle Malarkey).
* His plush is buttered rum scented.
* His fans are anthropomorphic chocolate peanut butter cups.
* In the Vietnamese version, Rancis has a female voice actor instead of a male voice actor.
* Rancis's helmet has ridges going down the sides in the online game, but in the movie it is striped with yellow rings instead.
* The very different shape of his hat makes Rancis the most conspicuous character to be seen racing without a helmet in early trailers and official artwork (which indicates the helmets were among the last designs to be decided).

* In the English audio description for the movie, Rancis, Taffyta, and Candlehead are collectively referred to as 'the girls' in the racing scene. This may be because audio descriptions are often concise to allow for dialogue to be heard and more information to be given as scenes change.
* Rancis's kart in toy form has lines over the wheels for the kart to run smoothly.
* He can be a playable character in Disney Crossy Road.
