―Fix-It Felix Jr.'s catchphrase

Official Bio

Fix-It Felix Jr.: The All-Around Good Guy

"Felix is the popular star of Fix-It Felix Jr. and Niceland's hammer-wielding maintenance man who's beloved by all. When he is not busy fixin' all of Ralph's wreckin', this gold-medal-winning good guy is being showered with kisses, praise and pies from his tenants. Hardwired for niceness, anything other than being "The Good Guy" just doesn't compute."

Appearance

Felix is a diminutive man with a blue plumber's outfit and cap, white undershirt, blue eyes, and brown hair. He also wears brown leather workboots and workgloves along with a plumber's toolbelt. Felix always carries a magical, golden hammer that was given to him by his father. This hammer allows Felix to fix nearly anything with a single tap, including physical injuries.

His appearances, mostly clothing, changed throughout character development from wearing overalls to modern plumbers uniform. At first (it was shown in one of the presentations of the movie's development), he was to wear a yellow shirt and a slightly different utility belt. However, the design changed into a blue shirt with a name tag on it, and the belt's appearance changed as well.

Personality

Felix is a cheery, lovable, and kind-hearted hero. He brings joy to the Nicelanders by fixing their apartment windows whenever Ralph destroys them. As a result, he is often given praises, pies, and has parties thrown in his honor. During the parties, Felix is shown to be a gregarious person. He doesn't treat Ralph as badly as the Nicelanders do, and even seems to be a bit sympathetic towards him.

When Ralph tires of his role as the villain and abandons his game, Felix is courageous enough to take responsibility and risk his life for his game by searching for him. Felix also shows he has a romantic side, as seen when he develops the "honeyglows" for Sergeant Calhoun. He never swears and has a charm about him that reminds you that he was made to be a hero of the 80's; he is good right down to his core. 

Felix often is the peacekeeper between Ralph and the Nicelanders and is the one to step between the two parties in a quarrel. In the beginning of the film, he merely thought of Ralph as his colleague, but as the story went on, he began to refer to see through his eyes and think of him as a friend, later calling him his "brother," in a friendly manner.

Trivia

• Felix is the only main character in the film to be seen regenerating after dying (along with a character from Hero's Duty).
  • Turbo also dies in the film, but he is unable to regenerate as he is in another game.
• His main inspiration is Mario. Both characters are physically short in stature, both have caps, short brown hair, and brown boots.
• In the video game, he claims that he is lactose intolerant.
• His family is said to consist of a mother and father, although neither appear in the movie.
• During the film's earliest development, Felix was cast as the main character instead of Ralph.
• Also during the film's earliest development, he was intended to join Ralph to help him be the good guy.
• Felix's clothes were also changed during his development. He wore overalls to a yellow shirt with tucked sleeves, and a different belt. But now he wears a blue shirt and a name tag on it with a different belt.
• Felix can speak Q*Bertese, albeit with difficulty.
• Felix's smart, but a little cowardly personality is very similar to Luigi from the Mario series.
• In an early draft of the film, Felix was intended to join Ralph on his journey to become a hero. However, the filmmakers felt that Felix's inclusion would distract the central heart of the story: the relationship between Ralph and Vanellope.
• True to his name, Felix can fix anything with his magical golden hammer, including, apparently, physical injuries. Unfortunately for him, this comes with a catch; anything the hammer touches is instantly restored to pristine condition, and it cannot be used to destroy or damage things.
• Felix is the fourth hero in a Disney animated feature to be incarcerated, the first three being Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty, Aladdin from Aladdin, and Flynn Rider from Tangled.
• In one scene of the film, Felix mentions Mario during the party. His main inspiration was Mario.
  • However, Bowser, Mario's arch nemesis, appears in the movie, as Mario is only referenced.
• In The Art of Wreck-It Ralph, It shows changes in Fix-It Felix's appearance from a figure made of measuring rulers to a human wearing overalls to a human wearing modern plumbers uniform.
• Fix-It Felix has some similarities with his voice actor, Jack McBrayer.
• Felix is the second Disney character voiced by Jack McBrayer (first is Irving from Phineas and Ferb).
  • However, Felix is the first to be voiced by Jack McBrayer in a Disney feature while Irving is the first to be voiced by the same actor in a Disney TV series.
• Another scene with Calhoun is that when they fell into the Nesquik-sand, they stepped on a double-stripped branch since Vanellope mentioned that double-stripes break.
• Despite being inspired by Mario from Mario Bros., Fix-It-Felix also has some similarities with another Disney character, Manny Garcia, from Handy Manny.
  • They have similar clothes: cap, short-sleeved shirt, an undershirt, tool belt, gloves, jeans (with rolled up sleeves), and shoes.
  • They both had round noses.
  • They both have "magical" tools.
  • They both fix things.
  • Both of them are short in height.
  • Many people found them to be cute.
  • Manny's motto sounded similar to Felix's catchphrase.
  • Manny's "pet" was named Fix-It which is now Felix's title.
    • However, they had a few differences too.
      • Manny is Hispanic and speaks English as his second language while Felix looked more European and speaks English with a touch of Southern slang.
      • Manny never took off his hat, except at the wedding episode, and Felix toke his hat off several times in the film.
      • Handy Manny is the protagonist in his own TV series while Felix is the tritagonist in a feature film.
• Despite being the central "good guy" in the game Fix-It Felix Jr., Felix seems to be the only one who does not think Ralph is as bad as he's programmed to be. He seems to only repudiate Ralph in order to stay "on top" with the "good guys", and generally tries to cease all arguments between the "good guys" and Ralph.
• Even though Felix wears a short-sleeved blue shirt and carries a golden hammer in the game (and in the film), the film shows that the Fix It Felix Jr. game cabinet has pictures of him wearing a yellow shirt and carrying a normal hammer.
• In the junior novelization when Mary is announcing the cake flavors when she gets to Felix, she does not get cut off by Ralph and all of the Nicelanders say vanilla, so Felix's favorite cake flavor is vanilla.
• Felix wielding a hammer throughout each stage may be a loose reference to Wrecking Crew, although in that game Mario destroys structures rather than repair them.
• Felix and Sprocket from the Skylanders series have some similarities.
  • They have similar chatchphrases (Sprocket's is "The fix is in", Felix's is "I can fix it")
  • They both carry special tools.
  • They both wear blue clothes.
