Wreck-It Ralph Review

WATCH TRAILER 

Oh my gosh, it was such a fun movie! With details EVERYWHERE regarding retro arcade games. I'm sure it was every gamer’s dream (I'm not much of a gamer myself, but I picked up on a lot of the jokes. However, you don't have to be a gamer to enjoy it. You'll just have an extra layer of humor to appreciate.) Not to mention the characters themselves were absolutely amazing! Ralph and Vanellope were a truly fantastic duo, but Fix-It Felix and Sergeant Calhoun weren’t far behind. (Also can I just say how flippin' ADORABLE Felix was? Like what a little sweetheart! He might've been my favorite character. "*hits prison bars with hammer* *they get stronger* Ahh! Why do I fix EVERYTHING I touch!?")

Now regarding the movie itself: Even though most of the plot was pretty predictable, there was a mother of all plot twists at the end that I was not expecting at all that completely blew my mind (so brava for that one Disney writers)! There were also hilarious jokes (the one joke I absolutely DIED at were the Oreo guards chanting like the guards from the Wizard of Oz, but instead it was: "OreEEEo OreEEEEEEEo OreEEEo OreEEEEEEEEo". I seriously could not stop laughing), a number of heartwarming scenes, as well as heart wrenching scenes, and the animation was fantastically stunning! The colors, the textures, the way each character from different games moved. I say, GO WATCH IT! You’ll enjoy it for sure!

And don’t even get me started on the short before the movie, Paperman. It was beautiful. The simplicity, the cute story, the 3D overlapping 2D, the music, and the characters... It deserved the price of admission on its own! I was grinning so big at the end and had tears in my eyes. The animation, the ANIMATION. Ugh! I hope this starts a new wave of animation, something to show that 2D should not be overlooked or ignored.

All in all, I'd give Wreck-It Ralph an 9/10 and Paperman a 10/10. So go watch the movie. Really. Just do it.
