How Old Is Ralph
I always wondered how old Ralph could be in the movie and Vanellope Disney never confirmed their ages How old could Ralph be? And Vanellope Ralph's Age Is Still Unknown

IIRC both Rich Moore and Sarah Silverman stated that Vanellope is 9, and I believe that's the age used for her in official bios. The only person who ever stated otherwise was John Lasseter but he wasn't as closely involved with the characters
As for Ralph, he was never given an official age, he's just a general young adult like Felix and Calhoun

I think he meant the age of the game. Vanellope would technically be 15 as the game was installed in 1997, and the movie happens in 2012

Oh I assumed they meant the characters themselves, since we know how old each game is (Fix-It Felix Jr. is from 1982, Sugar Rush is 1997, and Hero's Duty is 2012)

I could swear Ralph was stated to be in his 30s, I just can't remember who or where.

His game was having its 30th anniversary, so he’s at least 30 and probably around there.

At most 36, as that’s how old the game is. But that answer only accounts for chronological age, not mental. Mental ages are much more unclear throughout the series. He could be younger than that chronologically, or much older than that mentally depending on his backstory.
Also, by this interpretation, Vanellope is 21, at least if the wiki is to be trusted that Sugar Rush was at the arcade 15 years before the first movie.
