From the YouTube, director and animator Eric Goldberg shows off a bit of King Candy animation.
The piece isn't in Wreck-It Ralph; it's a hand-drawn test ...
For a considerable stretch of time, veteran Disney animators were doing hand-drawn tests of CG characters to demonstrate how those characters might act and move. (It was faster to do a traditional pencil test than rig and model a CG version of the character and THEN animate it.)
They're doing less of this kind of thing now. Half of the veteran Disney animators have been let go.

So what are the 2D animators left doing besides pencil tests?
I know they are finishing that Mickey Mouse short "Get a Horse" but are there any more 2D shorts in development they can work on? I assume features are out of the question.
It seems such a waste to have these incredibly talented people just doing character tests and other menial tasks.
Hush your mouth about "Get a Horse."
Nobody's supposed to talk.
I'm very happy for Eric Goldberg and how he is still finding good work. It's a shame that the voice direction and writing were kinda weak here, but Goldberg did the best that he could to make it lively and interesting.
Acch! The animation has been pulled down. A shame.
