Get ready for the most “original film in years!” Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph pops onto shelves everywhere in stunning Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D this Tuesday (March 5, 2013)! I received an advanced copy of the movie and let me tell you this…it was AWESOME! The film follows Ralph (John C. Reilly), a character with colossal hands and a big heart who was programmed to be the bad guy for 30 years in a popular video game known as Fix-It Felix Jr. Not getting any of the hero glory like “The Good Guy” Felix (the hammer wielding maintenance man who fixes Ralph’s smashing messes),the ill-tempered Ralph sets out on a video game hopping adventure to move off his heap of bricks and prove that just because he is a “Bad Guy” doesn’t mean he is a bad guy! During his search for a little appreciation he meets up with Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman), a “glitch” from the candy-coated cart-racing game Sugar Rush who is also looking for some recognition. However, his focus turns on trying to save the video game world from a deadly Cy-Bug invasion he unleashed while he was in Hero’s Duty, a sci-fi battle game run by the “tough-as-nails “Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch).
Wreck-It Ralph is a spectacular eye-popping 3D journey across different video game worlds. Twists, jumps, and turns through Sugar Rush will have you craving more and more! Watch below as the animators share the original inspiration for Sugar Rush- the architecture of Antoni Gaudi and how concept models of the game’s landscape were made out of actual candy and cookies!

The land is truly an amazing work of animation and by the film’s end you will want to grab yourself a sweet treat to eat! Just make sure it isn’t Mentos and Diet Coke! We watched the movie over and over again, noticing different aspects and elements each time. It is one of those movies you won’t get sick and tired of watching after a few times.

Another feature of the film that is full of fun is noticing and pointing out popular characters from video games. Sonic, Dr. Eggman, Q*bert, Pac-man, and Blanka from Street Fighter are familiar faces making an appearance in scenes in Game Central Station and the Bad-Anon: One Game at a Time support group. I know there is a bunch more in the movie, but you can have your own exciting search seeking to find them!

I like the Intermission thing. Keeps ’em watching when you have get up for a minute.
Ok, so I respect your viewpoint but gotta say my kids really did not love this movie! No explanation, but I would call it just OK. Worth a rental. Can’t put my finger on what was wrong with it! But… didn’t fall in love.
I can’t wait to watch this film with my granddaughters! My husband and I will love it because we pretty much know all of the video game characters – many from the 80’s 🙂

I’m so impressed with the animation methods that were used to make this movie. It’s just incredible what technology can do these days! I was shocked at how the different characters and scenes were created and then even more enamored by the way Ralph went from one different animation to a different one with such smooth precision!
The grand kids would love seeing this – maybe I’ll treat them!
