Fizzy, colourful and intricately plotted, this 2012 pop meta-fiction from The Simpsons' Rich Moore does for vintage arcade games what Who Framed Roger Rabbit did for the Golden Age of Animation.

3/4

Phil Johnston and Jennifer Lee’s script finds sad, trapped, silly characters locked inside their programming and desperate to escape, and in these energetic and colorful settings, losing yourself in their struggle for freedom and acceptance is effortless.

3/5

"Wreck-it Ralph" sets the table nicely but almost squanders it’s originality and cleverness with its frantic and occasionally numbing midsection.

4/5

Even if "Wreck-It Ralph" is off a little in pace and organization, the movie has creativity, originality, and spirit to spare.

Wreck-It Ralph is an incredible Disney movie that opens the door to a whole new world. It gives us a creative look inside the life of a video game character, blending classic arcade games with newer gaming styles while introducing us to unforgettable characters like Wreck-It Ralph, Fix-It Felix, and Vanellope. There are so many fun dynamics throughout this movie, and the creativity feels endless. Disney Animation really takes advantage of the video game world and builds something that feels unique, colorful, and full of personality. What I love most is how the movie proves that a simple idea can become an entire universe when the storytelling is done correctly. The characters have heart, humor, and enough personality to keep both kids and adults invested. I highly recommend Wreck-It Ralph for families. It’s entertaining, creative, and filled with memorable characters and fantastic storytelling. It’s one of those Disney films that deserves to be revisited.
