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.

"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.

best movie ever, the art the characters, the end of song choice this is just wow. Hate how they made him feel like a villain, but at the end he changed his mind and how he viewed himself and he loved being the bad guy and Penelope and turbo What a plot twist, never expected it just beautiful could watch again and again and again

Coming off the safe bet of "Winnie the Pooh", I like seeing Disney takes some creative risks. This is a fun movie. It's not incredible and it doesn't necessarily merit a sequel, but I enjoyed it. The humor is decent, the voice acting is solid (though I don't love Silverman's Vanellope) and the twist is surprisingly good. Best Character: Ralph Best Quote: "I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no-one I'd rather be... than me." - Ralph Best Scene: Ralph's Favorite Part of the Day Best Piece of Score: "Wreck-It Ralph
