Wreck it Ralph, while I have not seen it (or really most other modern movies), I know the cameos there are all from well known video game franchises from the top companies such as Nintendo, Sega, and Capcom. I dont think "Club Penguin" is one of the first, second, or even third things that comes to peoples minds when they think of "video games".

Besides, a movie is not something you can just throw out willy nilly. Movies take a lot of time, effort, and significantly, money. There would have to be movie makers that are pretty passionate on making a movie about a kids game where the most "plot" there is would be throwing snowballs and clicking. A ton of money would have to go into it. Considering Disney has been making extreme budget cuts for the game in the past year, I wonder if they even would be willing to use up resources for a mere commercial. Besides, there have been three specials, is a movie really necessary? What on earth would be able to fill up two hours worth of movie? "Herbert has a dastardly plan... and only one penguin can stop him. Join Gilbert, a clumsy penguin with a knack for adveeeeenture, as he makes friends, and even enemies, on an epic quest to go through a maze and throw a few snowballs."

Even five or so years ago, when Club Penguin was at its peak, I would doubt a movie. And with the game on rapid decline, the small chances are slimmer than ever. How many movies based on video games do you know of? Not many huh? And the ones you do see are pretty cheaply made correct? Lots of negative feedback too? Movies based on video games just do not work in the industry. Taking the whole foundation of a video game, player interactivity, and removing it, it completely takes away the immersion.
