What is it?
Wreck-it Ralph is Walt Disney’s new animated film
featuring a story using video game characters from multiple classic games, crammed into a touching tale that can soften even the toughest of "Bad Guys".
Story:
The Story focuses on Ralph (antagonist from the video
game fix-it Felix Jr.) who wants to be more than just a bad guy that demolishes
a building. Ralph catches wind that there is a 30th anniversary
party being thrown for his game, and he eventually crashes a party. Once there, Ralph is disrespected
by the guests at the event so he decides that he will leave his game to earn a
medal elsewhere to earn the respect of his peers.
Ralph Journeys to Hero’s Duty (which is a first person
shooter game similar to Gears of War and Call of Duty) and Sugar Rush (a kart
racing game that gives you cavities just looking at all of the deserts and
candy that it is made of…) where he meets a misfit like himself Vanellope.

-
The movie is beautifully animated. At a glance
you’d guess that it was done by Pixar’s animation studio but you would be
wrong.
-
Cameos galore
-
Lots and lots of video game references
-
Classic Disney story architecture
-
Voice cast did amazing job
-
It funny (especially if you get the references)
The Bad:
-
Some cameos are way too brief
-
Most of the movie will be taken place in Sugar
Rush

Ok so I liked the move but maybe my expectations were too
high, or maybe the people that have seen it before me blew it up to be bigger
than it was. I can’t really seem to understand why I feel this way because the
only issues I had was that the cameos were too brief (which should be expected
being that cameos are usually brief) and that the movie spent too much time in
Sugar Rush (which is also understandable being that the supporting protagonist “Vanellope”
is from there). I guess overall I was just hoping for a beefier movie. Maybe a
try but, failed attempt by Ralph trying to get a medal in another game before
going to Hero’s Duty. Also they could have made Ralph’s visit to Hero’s Duty a little
more detailed / Longer.
