Entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (15 November 2012)

When I first read the summary, I thought it'd be an interesting watch; especially because as an 80's child, I highly enjoy any reference to the good old arcade games. I was a little bit disappointed that there weren't more of them, however; but not as much that I couldn't enjoy the brilliance of the movie.
The best thing for me would have to be the characters from the "Fix it Felix Jr" game moving just like the old 8-bit characters moved in the real games: those unnatural jerky movements. I found that little detail endlessly entertaining. The graphics were very good, especially when we were shown "Hero's Duty" and "Sugar Rush". Vanellope was adorably done and I just know that if I'd been a kid still, I would have fallen utterly in love with (the sweets in) her (hair).
I did find some parts of the movie a bit long and I was disappointed that over half of the movie was built around Sugar Rush.
But apart from that: solid story, solid graphics, lovable characters and references to a few 80's Arcade Games. Definitely worth to see!
