Surprisingly well done!

Rating: 10/10 (10 November 2012)

Let me start off by saying that I am an early college student, and I have grown up with the classic Disney movies like Aladdin and Lion King. Those were always enjoyable movies to watch, especially since they're like pieces of my childhood. Ever since then, Disney Animation Studios has been producing movies that can be considered "forgettable" and "below-average". However, after the purchase of Pixar, Disney has definitely been taking leaps and bounds in the right direction with the help of Pixar Animation Studios. Saying this, I really didn't know what to expect from "Wreck-It Ralph" since Pixar's name was non-existent in the movie's previews and ads. At first, I decided to steer clear from this movie...
About a week after the release, I thankfully heard a lot of positive reviews and recommendations to see the movie. So, "hey, why not," I decided to see the regular 2D movie. Boy, was I in for such a surprise. I was absolutely blown away by the amount of creativity and originality that was included with this movie. Knowing only a little about the older arcade games, I was still able to have a connection with the movie and follow along with the storyline really well. Speaking of the storyline, I was so amazed at how well the whole story unfolded, which included a great amount of twists and turns that constantly kept my mind active and engaged. However, being a kids' movie, I was also afraid of encountering those "roll my eyes" moments which are typically found in these types of movies. To my surprise again, NONE of those were found in "Wreck-It Ralph"! The storyline was just so cleverly thought out and the plot progressed very well as the movie went on. The eye-pleasing quality of the different settings presented throughout (whether in the different arcade games, or inside the power strip) just shows the amount of imagination and creativity that was applied to the production of the movie. Also, the use of color and design elements was absolutely perfect. I really wish I could go back and see it in 3D now! The fact that both kids and adults can enjoy and share smiles to an animated movie like "Wreck-It Ralph" puts this movie on a high level, on which only several others have reached. I believe this is, soon to be, another Disney classic!
The only thing that I disliked about the movie was the inclusion of the Rihanna song. That was just a pretty awful song choice.
Other than that, *10/10 Highly Recommended!*
