"Wreck-it Ralph" Will NOT Wreck Your Opinion of Disney

“I’m gonna wreck it!”
After “The Princess and the Frog” and “Tangled”, another movie has been sprung out of the creative minds at the “happiest place on Earth”, otherwise known as Disney. On November 2, 2012, “Wreck-it Ralph” was released in theaters and Disney fanatics flocked to their local movie theaters, stocked up on popcorn and were more than ready for another Disney classic.
They were not disappointed. Chronicling the adventures of the “wreck-it guy”, Ralph, the newest Disney addition did not fail its high expectations. Everyone has played arcade games before, which usually consist of the player (on the good side, of course) trying to win or beat the “bad guy”. In “Wreck-it Ralph”, Ralph, who is the “bad guy” in his arcade game, “Fix-it Felix”, is sick and tired of being jeered and laughed at. It is his job to smash windows and destroy buildings, and it is his friend, Felix’s, job to fix everything. Yet, while Felix is applauded and congratulated, Ralph is forced to live in a trash dump, constantly being put down by the other members of his game. When Ralph stands up and decides to perform a good deed to be recognized, he is whisked on a journey full of fun and laughter. Along the way, he meets new friends (such as a delightful young girl named Vannelope von Schweetz) and realizes that his role in “Fix-it Felix” is bigger than it appears.

 
A wonderfully thought-out creation, Disney’s high quality animations and graphics are eye-catching and engaging. Bringing together characters such as Bowser and Blinky (from Pacman), “Wreck-it Ralph” is a trip down memory lane for adults. Throughout the movie, silly antics and arguments will keep kids entertained and laughing. As for the older audience members, they will find themselves pondering the deeper themes embedded throughout the movie. You might also find yourself trying to repeat “Vannelope von Schweetz” five times twice as fast. There’s no doubt about it: “Wreck-it Ralph” is a phenomenal hit in people of all ages, and will definitely become a Disney classic.
