A fantastic film!!

Rating: 9/10 (14 January 2013)

It's rare that a Walt Disney Animation Studios film is considered better than a Pixar film, but this is such an example. It's almost like Disney's answer to Scott Pilgrim in terms of how it uses video games, but a great story and cast prevents this from being a copy of said film.
John C. Reilly voices Wreck-it Ralph, a villain of a 8-bit video game where he gets no respect for his role since the hero of the game, Fix-it Felix Jr (Jack McBrayer), gets all the glory. When a new First Person Shooter game named Hero's Duty arrives, Ralph sees this as an opportunity to prove himself as a hero, but in the process, he ends up causing a catastrophe that could mean game over for the arcade!
While gamers will love the various audio and visual gags in this film, the story and characters (including Sarah Silverman as Vanellope von Schweetz) really shine. One of my favourite things about this film is the interactions between Felix and Sergeant Calhoun (Jane Lynch). They were brilliant together. In the end, this is a highly entertaining movie and one I truly recommend to see, gamer or not!
