Through out the span of film the Disney franchise has always challenged itself to rethink animated films. Starting with toon shorts and then working their way towards full featured films like Snow White and Cinderella, Disney has built a billion dollar industry out of the dreams and imaginations of children. Now with the digital age coming Disney again endeavors to reinvent animated film again. From WALLE to Toy Story and now Wreck-It Ralph.
Wreck-It Ralph is the story of Ralph, a video game villain who no longer wants to be a bad guy. Taking place inside the world of an arcade after hours, director Rich Moore pushes to show us that our world is not much different from theirs. We see Ralph in a support group for villains as he reveals the sad and lonely life of a bad guy. As the film progresses we see Ralph "go Turbo" and begin game hoping to find a way to become the hero of a game.
John C. Reilly, the voice of Ralph, is one of the most underrated character actors of our time. His parts from Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Carnage, Step Brothers, and countless more have maybe not always be the leading role but always have been strong characters with deep hearts. He is able to pull Ralph from a simply two dimensional character to a big lug we all come to love and cherish. Wreck-It Ralph is a stand out film that will appeal to all family members, even the grumpy adults :).
The film also showcases talents like new comer Jack McBrayer and comedic goddesses like Sarah Silverman and Jane Lynch. Wreck-It Ralph is funny, sad, scary, exciting, and will have you either laughing to tears or secretly crying for Ralph and all characters involved to achieve their dreams.
Take my word for it,
go see it!
Just my thoughts,
