Wreck-It-Ralph is a sweet and heart felt movie about arcade games

Rating: 8/10 (11 November 2012)

"Wreck-It Ralph is the not just a movie about arcade games but also about the relationship between people left on the outside" Wreck-It Ralph is the bad guy from "Fix It Felix Jr." but it the words of his fellow bad guys he still has some good qualities that make him a good guy. When Ralph (John C. Reilly) is told by his fellow game workers to stay away he ventures out to other games or going Turbo so he can get respect that he was not able to get in his game. He first goes to Hero's Duty where he runs into Calhoun (Jane Lynch) and then causes some trouble in the game which then leads him to Sugar rush where he meets fellow outcast Vanllope (Sarah Silverman). The film then is about these two outcasts working together to try and get more respected they are.
If you were a person as a young kid who played many of the games explored in the film you would get some of references that they make to these games and others in the film. Ralph starts the movie doing his normal job but when the game celebrates it's 30th Anniversary he is unwanted and to try be respected he makes his way to Hero's Duty to try get the gold medal he thinks will get the people of his game to like him more. This movie does a great job of making these simple games more explored which leads to some great animation including the high definition from Hero's Duty to the sweet and colourful design that is Sugar Rush.
John C. Reilly voices Ralph and his voice-over performance fits the character so well I almost forgot it was him playing the character because between his noises and sounds he is very believable as Ralph. Sarah Silverman voices Vanllope and she provides a comedic relief to the film but stealing it from Reilly with her quick comebacks as well as just cute reactions to things that happen around her. Jan Lynch and Jack McBrayer voice Felix and Colhoun respectfully. Their voice overs seem fitted to roles they always seem to play but they are great together and the relationship that develops is almost as sweet as the two main characters.
The animation in this film is just some of the best I've seen this year and especially in the character design. Vanllope is designed as a cute little girl but she has glitch that makes her ruff giving her more of an edge. The story is very creative to take some of these characters that most people would know as figures on screens and making them more fleshed out and a treat to watch react with each other on the screen.
MOVIE GRADE: B+ (MVP: Sarah Silverman)
