+MegaSoulhero Remember video games are still seen as kid things by the uninformed and unlikable douches who believe video games can never be considered art.
+NoirRaven While Brave did have great visuals,music, and pretty good characters. The plot for Brave was NOTHING what they promised nor was it that memorable or meaningful. When the trailers and previews for the movie were originally shown we were shown stunning Scottish imagery with possible ties to some heavy Celtic mysticism but what we got was 2 hours of my mother is a bear. No mysticism after the first transformation, 90% of the movie takes place in the castle rather than the highlands, and when you ask most people about the movie they can't even remember what the moral was supposed to be. I like Brave I really do but it promised more than it gave. At least that's the reason I ended up not being happy with the movie.
the thing I find interesting is that this came out the same year as Brave, and the reason I find it interesting is because Wreck it Ralph felt much more like a pixar film than Brave did, and Brave on the other hand felt much more like a tradition disney film than a Pixar film.
Oh god, Pixar is actually making bad movies at the same time as Disney making great 3D movies. Like your examples, Brave sucked while Wreck it Ralph was great. The Good Dinosaur was god awful while Zootopia was fantastic
personally i think the climax where turbo/king candy becomes one of the bugs and ralph has to beat him is meant to be like a final boss to go with the video game theme
King Candy "You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses, would you?" *Ralph takes his glasses off and whacks him with the glassesKing Candy "You hit a guy... with glasses. Well played."
+Cesar Sepulveda I would LOVE a sequel, but I am terrified that it will fall flat in comparison to the original. If it ends up better than the first, I am all for it. But I will be cautious if a sequel is made.
To be honest, I thought the final monster fight fit in with the film. I mean, it's based on video games, it needs a final boss fight who's scary and intimidating. Sure, it didn't work perfectly, but I liked it at least. Same with the conflict scene. Dear god, don't tell me you didn't cry or at least come close to tears.
+DiscoClam Well I was more annoyed during that conflict scene. Because I knew exactly how it will end and this was just another cliché detour to make story longer/more emotional without really trying something interesting. I Agree with the final boss thing though:)
+DiscoClam The problem with the conflict scene wasn't that it was executed badly. It was the fact that it wasn't as original/creative as the rest of the movie.
+DiscoClam Although I would agree that it is a cliche and yeah it has been done to death, I was still so invested with the characters and the story that it was hard not to cry lol
***** That's a valid point you have here:) Still the story could have avoided the conflict scene even after hearing all the exposition from King Candy. Let's say that Ralph would change his mind at the last second because he would realize something at King's story doesn't exactly make sense. Or something like that. Then we would have the promise of conflict scene that would in the end be twisted around. I think something like that would be better:)
+DiscoClam I think the issue with that final climax was that it lacked genre-savvy to throw us for a loop. Like, instead of making us laugh or even remark at the clever observation the movie makes of gaming culture, it's more just a thing that exists like "Oh, sudden monster-transformation and a fight inside a volcano. That's... a thing that games do." The eternal conflict of "Parody vs Basic operating procedures." Are you a clever send-off or just another sheep in the hurd. For that whole final boss idea to have worked, it needed to go more above and beyond or do a clever lampshading or subversion of excpectations.

What's actually happening on the screen is unique, but the feelings it invokes are the thing that makes it mundane. Why not sorta shake up the response? Why not have the Glitch (Fuck me if I'd remember her name) be sat down to talk about the dangers and have her in a bit of an existential crisis about weather she does deserve to exist in this world or not instead of the same "I feel betrayed, I hate you!" shtick? I mean, that'd actually be quite interesting, and something I'd imagine a self-consious glitch would propably contemplate in a theoretical world, where they're real.
"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....." In my opinion, the best line spoken in this entire movie.....
You know. When I was In the theather, watching this movie, I overheard a father explaining to his little son what an Arcade was and how did it work, right at the beggining of the movie. I felt SO old hearing this, It's like the days I played The House of the Dead or X-Men vs. Street Fighter at the Arcade of my town's mall were an eternity ago.
Shadowtechnik Dude, the kid was about 5-6 years old. Why the hell am I suppose to spank him for not knowing something that ceased to be when he wasn't even a sperm?
Funny I said that once me and my freind and her 3 younger siblings were in the mall and her younger brother started throwing a fit so when I pulled him by the ear he pushed me away and said "fight me!" so when I raised my fist he said "You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses!" and everyone in my friends family wore glasses so I told her to give me hers. "Why?" "So I can hit him with your glasses!" it took her a minute to realize what i'd meant before I pulled off her glasses and hit her brother over the head with them. (this was like 10 years ago before Wreck-it-Ralph came out so I found it pretty funny that someone else thought of that.)
This is my favorite Disney movie because Ralph and Vanellope remind me of my school years. In elementary school and middle school, not only kids made fun of me for my epilepsy, but the adults were too lazy to learn how to take care of my seizures. So, the tried to get rid of me instead. In high school my crazy councilor thought all her disabled students were useless, stupid, and put me in a class for dumb kids. Good news: she was fired. Bad news: not until I graduated.
Mustiboi Salman WHAT I’M SAYING BRUH!! Overrated films shouldn’t be hated for being overrated lmao. Like, back in elementary school for the talent show literally EVERY SINGLE GIRL sang “let it go”, we heard it so many times and it was hell. But that’s not a reason to hate the film frozen! It’s overhyped, great, you have eyes you can see that that is the case. Just don’t bring it down.
+Christopher Detlef the funny thing about pixels is Happy Madison already had a video game centered comedy with Grandma's Boy and it was much more enjoyable to watch. I think movies plots about video games turn out a lot better when they're not the major focus, more of just a backbone to support the storyline. Otherwise you'd rather be playing an actual fuckin video game instead.
I kinda agree with the forced scene being done a million times, but that scene in this movie actually made my heart lurch, so, I really don't mind it. I also love that scene where Ralph realizes that him and Vanellope aren't that different.
But that's also what's gpod. this movie set up the world perfectly, surely they plan a sequel, and without such a set up needed they could go anywhere.
+NintendoFreak29 A lot of the characters that cameoed weren't in arcade games. But some arcade cabinets actually have many emulated console games built into them. The NES arcade machines are kind of common, but I've seen Genesis machines too.
Oh my god just seeing that scene when Ralph is getting ready to smash up her car and Vanelope understands it in one second and *screams* at him to stop... This scene will always bring me to tears
He doesn't mention the plot twist in this film. And a lot of people seem to overlook it. But everyone always goes on and on about the twist in Frozen and how "good" it is. I won't spoil anything for anyone, but personally, I thought the twist in Frozen was clumsily handled (and actually somewhat predictable). This movie, on the other hand, pulled its twist off really well. It deserves a little more acknowledgment for that.
Agreed, I kinda thought maybe for Frozen's twist, they should've had some sort of foreshadowing and not just say BAM! there's your villian, you may go home now.
The most ironic thing about Frozen's twist is that Frozen would have actually had been a better movie had there BEEN NO TWIST!!!! Don't belive me? Just look up Manchild Inc's review of Frozen and skip to the end for a perfectly good explanation! :)
The king candy/candy themed cockroach design definitely shows that Disney has not lost its touch when it comes with the creation of nightmare fuel with there creatures.
+Crazy_Legs5567 it's not really trolling to lament over the recent affairs with a company that used to be admired by many but is now run by business men who think it is acceptable to deny someone recognition for their creative work.
Wreck-It Ralph has always been one of my fav Disney movies, along with Robin Hood, Zootopia/Zootropolis, Winnie the Pooh, Aladdin, Hercules and Aristocats!
I wonder if the programers knew that the game characters had a mind of their own. "Excuse me, game programer. The game's glitchy." "Oh that's normal. Sounds like the characters are game jumping." "Oh, ok."
I LOVED this movie! My friend even noted that my face lit up like a kid on Christmas when we saw it in theatres. With Calhoun's backstory, I thought its execution resulted in being unintentionally funny. Like, they tried to be serious but its presentation was too ridiculous in handling it came off as such. As for the Cy-Bug King Candy fight, it's a reference to a Final Boss fight! C'mon, Critic, you've HAD to have gone up against at least one at some point playing video games! And of course, I said it once, I'll say it again: If you're going to do a twist on who the villain of a story is, THIS is how you do it. That's why I fucking HATED the third act of Frozen, they threw in a twist so haphazardly that none of the previous points even connected to justify the twist. And before you say "But it teaches that people aren't what they seem!", I don't care. In fact, Film Theory did an EXCELLENT analysis of why the twist failed.
The problem is that Disney and Pixar have dabbled in the 'secret bad guy' plot so often that it's not a surprise when one of the likeable characters turns out to be evil. This one was more sneaky since it flip flopped around with King Candy being a jerk or meaning well at first, it looked like a red herring at first, even if, yeah, in the end, he's a cliche manipulative bad guy.
"Wreck-It-Ralph" is my another favorite Disney animated film that I loved. It's a heart-felted video game antagonist who wants to be the best, but he enters the world of arcade worlds like getting the medal from the extreme sci-fi action game, connecting with a friend from the "Mario-Kart" candy world, and learning to be yourself of who you are. Need for the movie and I love how they design this video game world that you can relate anything and it's good for the gamers to find it interesting, but only the good part for Disney. I love these characters including Ralph, Penelope, Felix and that Jane Lynch voice character which we've seen from her pop culture shows and they pitch their vocal perfectly. For me, this is a nicely video game crossover movie and this should've had won for the Oscar for "Best Animated Feature" because "Brave" had already won and it's the not best original animated film. But screw it, this is the best colorful animated film I had ever seen.
I love the ending. Ralph's role never changes, but his view on it does. I really thought they were going to be like, "Guess what? Ralph's a hero!" but no he's still a bad guy which I love.
This is my second favourite film. The criticism that there's not enough video game characters is really weird to me. There's a really great story here, but people just want more distractions?
I think the problem is the trailers for Wreck it Ralph focused too much on the cameo appearances and once we saw those trailers, there were no more "real" video game characters afterwards.
To be honest with you, if the movie were only filled with references, it wouldn't make the film as enjoyable and meaningful because we wouldn't learn a thing from what the film was trying to tell us.
As said though, the problem was, like with many films, having deceptive trailers that hype bait it into looking the appeal is something that takes up only a very small amount of the real thing. If the advertising hadn't focused so much on the cameos I think a whole lot less people would have been pissed.
I love that a movie like this can exist! It also explores a new idea that's a perfect opening to great stories to be inspired by: Game worlds being brought together through cables in an arcade. I think the idea is something we could really work with, even though it's TECHNICALLY originally a Tron idea, but this takes it to whole new levels.
This movie was probably the closest to a Pixar movie Disney made in my opinion, out of all their CGI movies (including Zootopia, which I quite liked but not loved). The plot was great, the jokes were funny and well developed, the characters were lovable, and the animation was colorful and grand. All those elements made this movie feel like Disney's version of Toy Story (aside from the original Toy Story). It's not perfect, as some parts like the middle and climax are kinda weak in how engaging they are (Pixar films do kind of have that weakness as well), but I still enjoyed the good stuff a ton and it gives a great message. And man, did Jane Lynch hit it out of the park with her performance. John C. Reilly was super lovable as well. I will definitely keep watching this one for a long time.
My only problem with Wreck It Ralph is that it spends too much time in Sugar Rush. You have a whole arcade, incorporate some of the other games a little bit more.
Doesnt happen often that such cliches are brought so well. Yeah, I can see the criticisms. But because you get so invested in the character I can just look the other way. Not a perfect movie, but sure as hell a movie I adore. At least a milliin times more than frozen or brave
Jane Lynch did an awesome job as Calhoun, and watching that wedding flashback scene where she whips out a Gatlin gun and goes full Rambo (or Bastion) on the Cybugs was... pure awesomeness. It was basically Toy Story with video games but avoided becoming completely derivative.
I love how the four main actors (John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer and Jane Lynch) could believably play the roles they were casted in live action
+PredakingXHunter X Frozen is really overrated and does not deserve the huge attention it gets at all ánd this movie is really underrated and deserves way more attention than it got.
I feel like creation of Wreck it Ralph went something like this: "Hey, let's make a movie about a candy world!" "I dunno... Think that'll sell?" "You're right. Let's put the candy world inside a video game. That way we can trick geeks into watching it!" "Brilliant!"
I really love Wreck-It Ralph that I seen it at Classic Cinemas in Northriver Side Mall when I was a 11 year old child since November 2012 and then I got 📀 at F.Y.E in Gurnee Mills Mall since when I was a kid 12 years old in March 2013.
I would love to see a sequel to Wreck it Ralph. Perhaps a collector purchases an old Fix it Felix cabinet and sets it up in his home, and the characters of Wreck it Ralph find the world where all the characters from Home console games are. Depending what save files he has or which games are in the consoles, multiple characters from multiple series can be seen entering and leaving through console portals. Then when the Fix it Felix is turned off, they have no access to the game world, and are trapped behind a barrier.
+EAPvideoz I've actually discussed this with friends and family about what their game world would be like, or how it would function with consoles and save files. Especially since unlike the arcade, the game isn't full restarted every time the game is accessed or played. The discussion ended with the thought that the save file would be like a play script, and when the player is selecting a game file, or choosing a level to replay the game pieces would quickly refresh so they know the location, their role, their stats, and what abilities or weapons they have access to, the lines during the cutscenes, and the purpose of the level. However, if the game is "turned off" I don't think it's like being unplugged. In the movie all the games were connected by the power belt/hub. Their respected cords and plugs acted as subway tunnels. So if they are off, but still plugged into a power belt with the other consoles, perhaps they can still access the hub. There might not be any power to the transportation, but they could still walk. Just a thought.
Why didn't you mention the Turbo twist? It's a really awesome twist, it makes sense in the story, and it isn't predictable. It's such a good twist I find it hard not to talk about when mentioning this movie.
I'm glad that they kept the cameos to a minimum. The main cast is so much more interesting to the point where I wouldn't even care lf there were no cameos. It would feel so forced lf the cameos had a big role. I say that they did everything perfectly.
Nobody noticed the Owl City ending... Adam's musics (if specifiaclly made for the film) basically amps up the awesomeness of any animated movie they're in!
I was blown away by how much Alan Tudyk sounded like Ed Wynn. I had a brief moment thinking it was him when I first saw this movie. I had fun watching it in theaters and later got into some conversations with others about the classic video game references. Plus I enjoy the music
superreviewerable No, that's not what I mean. In the teaser image, it shows parody logos of Google and Amazon. Why would those parody logos show up in a Video Game console?
Maybe some hackers want to download their games fearing that gaming corporations are gonna make terrible, glitchy, unplayable PC remakes? I'm seriously asking
Isaiah Williams After watching the sequel, Ralph is definitely much better be left as a stand alone title. The sequel pretty much disregards what made the original so memorable and just retread over the same plot beat but less original by constantly shoving internet outdated memes and video and a bunch of product placement.
The sequel is much the emoji movie Which is bad on my opinion, and like those Ralph video like the rick rolled And Bob ross, and its not bad but were not gonna remember the movie
Okay, I can understand how you can poo-poo the cart wrecking scene for being fairly typical, but you can't deny that Sarah Silverman owned that scene. The sound of her heart being broken really messed me up. That was an amazingly dark moment in a fairly bright film.
So strange to hear that some people disliked that Wreck-It Ralph didn't have as much pandering as they wanted because its creators spent so much of its running time focusing on making it a good story instead. Most reviewers I've seen were surprised by how good it turned out because the trailers made them suspect that it was just going to waste everyone's time with a bunch of pandering pablum video game references.
The thing that bothered me was the way the Nicelanders treated Ralph. They basically said that he was a terrible person just because he was the bad guy of the video game, even though the game couldn't survive without him. And then they wonder WHY he's so angry and wrecks things?
Wreck-It Ralph is hands down one of the best animated movies in the world. You can see how much imagination was put into this not to mention seeing the cameos of our favorite video game characters.
Fun fact the gun Calhoun uses in the third act has the same sound effect as the large robot tanks from terminator. The one they destroy with timed explosives and has a head like R.O.B the robot
At first Jane Lynches character's (I forget her name and I'm too lazy to look it up) backstory seems really funny but when you actually think about it, it's really dark. Cybugs are like a virus, and it's shown at throughout the movie that whatever they eat, they become. Lynch's husband was eaten by a cybug. Which means she had to fight and KILL a deformed rendition of her husband. That's right, a grotesque human bug hybrid. ON HER WEDDING DAY. And as a side note, the game she exists in is often pointed out for it's high definition and violence. Just let that sink in.
My favorite CGI movie. Critic said that the hurt-but-help-friend thing was done million times, but i cant remember CGI movie that did it so good. Cant hold tears when watch this scene. And I really like that this was friendship story, not love story that "Disney" used to make. Also, this movie have catchy song, and it is pitty that we dont hear it, well, in movie itself.
I understand that a lot of people didn't like this movie because it didn't focus attention on the classic video game characters we've all come to know and love, but that's not what the movie is about. It's about these new original characters and their struggle to overcome evil and succeed in what they're doing. I greatly appreciate Disney for doing something like that and I hope that the sequel is even better.

"The bad guy turning in to a monster" is reminiscent of how most (final)boss battles have multiple phases though. That's why I liked it.

I think movies plots about video games turn out a lot better when they're not the major focus, more of just a backbone to support the storyline. Otherwise you'd rather be playing an actual fuckin video game instead.
No one dares say that thing around here as a good film dies every time.
is it wrong that i like pixels? course my expectations for it were lowered once the happy madison logo showed up
I kinda agree with the forced scene being done a million times, but that scene in this movie actually made my heart lurch, so, I really don't mind it. I also love that scene where Ralph realizes that him and Vanellope aren't that different.
"you wouldn't hit a guy with glasses would you?"
"you hit a guy /with/ glasses. well played"
One gripe i had with this film is that I wish there were a wee bit more worlds for Ralph to jump into but meh
Oh my god, imagine Ralph struggling to traverse through green hill zone. That would be gold.
+Cider Crusader hahaha "Duty"
But that's also what's gpod. this movie set up the world perfectly, surely they plan a sequel, and without such a set up needed they could go anywhere.
+Blue Flare789 It wouldn't really make sense cause Sonic the Hedgehog (the first game) wasn't an arcade game.
+NintendoFreak29
A lot of the characters that cameoed weren't in arcade games. But some arcade cabinets actually have many emulated console games built into them. The NES arcade machines are kind of common, but I've seen Genesis machines too.
I'M BAD. AND THAT'S GOOD. I'M NOT GOOD, BUT THAT'S NOT BAD.
THERE'S NO ONE I'D RATHER BE THAN ME!
Oh my god just seeing that scene when Ralph is getting ready to smash up her car and Vanelope understands it in one second and *screams* at him to stop... This scene will always bring me to tears
This, and ParaNorman, were the best animated films of 2012 :D
Don't forget Madagascar 3
***** That's also a great film :)
+Rob Bob hey Benson Mordo and Rigby are playing video games instead of working
icecream hero UGHHH!!!
+Rob Bob IMO this is the BEST Animated Film ever made!!!
He doesn't mention the plot twist in this film. And a lot of people seem to overlook it. But everyone always goes on and on about the twist in Frozen and how "good" it is.
I won't spoil anything for anyone, but personally, I thought the twist in Frozen was clumsily handled (and actually somewhat predictable). This movie, on the other hand, pulled its twist off really well. It deserves a little more acknowledgment for that.
Agreed, I kinda thought maybe for Frozen's twist, they should've had some sort of foreshadowing and not just say BAM! there's your villian, you may go home now.
The most ironic thing about Frozen's twist is that Frozen would have actually had been a better movie had there BEEN NO TWIST!!!!
Don't belive me? Just look up Manchild Inc's review of Frozen and skip to the end for a perfectly good explanation! :)
The difference is Frozen tried too hard to set up Hans as a good guy.
Raving Rando yeah, and at least they gave a backstory for the villain in wreck it Ralph
I agree! The twist was SO MUCH BETTER than the frozen twist!
The king candy/candy themed cockroach design definitely shows that Disney has not lost its touch when it comes with the creation of nightmare fuel with there creatures.
I like the fact the konami code was in the movie.
Too bad #fuckonami
+Crazy_Legs5567 obvious troll is obvious *ding
+Crazy_Legs5567 it's not really trolling to lament over the recent affairs with a company that used to be admired by many but is now run by business men who think it is acceptable to deny someone recognition for their creative work.
+skabcat242 it would have been weird if they put kojima in this
+skabcat242 it would have been weird if they put kojima in this
It also happens that the little glitch girl is so fucking cute that she can sell the movie on her own
Wreck-It Ralph has always been one of my fav Disney movies, along with Robin Hood, Zootopia/Zootropolis, Winnie the Pooh, Aladdin, Hercules and Aristocats!
+Turbo Brony Great list man
I wonder if the programers knew that the game characters had a mind of their own. "Excuse me, game programer. The game's glitchy." "Oh that's normal. Sounds like the characters are game jumping." "Oh, ok."
"It's not a glitch, it's an intended feature."
I LOVED this movie! My friend even noted that my face lit up like a kid on Christmas when we saw it in theatres.
With Calhoun's backstory, I thought its execution resulted in being unintentionally funny. Like, they tried to be serious but its presentation was too ridiculous in handling it came off as such. As for the Cy-Bug King Candy fight, it's a reference to a Final Boss fight! C'mon, Critic, you've HAD to have gone up against at least one at some point playing video games!
And of course, I said it once, I'll say it again: If you're going to do a twist on who the villain of a story is, THIS is how you do it. That's why I fucking HATED the third act of Frozen, they threw in a twist so haphazardly that none of the previous points even connected to justify the twist. And before you say "But it teaches that people aren't what they seem!", I don't care. In fact, Film Theory did an EXCELLENT analysis of why the twist failed.
The problem is that Disney and Pixar have dabbled in the 'secret bad guy' plot so often that it's not a surprise when one of the likeable characters turns out to be evil. This one was more sneaky since it flip flopped around with King Candy being a jerk or meaning well at first, it looked like a red herring at first, even if, yeah, in the end, he's a cliche manipulative bad guy.
It’s quite intentional that Calhoun’s backstory is funny to us but we also are meant to undernad it’s actually serious to her.
I think part of the reason King Candy worked was the big twist wasn't that he's the bad guy, the twist was that he was Turbo.
I loved this film.
I genuinely think this is one of the best Disney movies
"Wreck-It-Ralph" is my another favorite Disney animated film that I loved. It's a heart-felted video game antagonist who wants to be the best, but he enters the world of arcade worlds like getting the medal from the extreme sci-fi action game, connecting with a friend from the "Mario-Kart" candy world, and learning to be yourself of who you are. Need for the movie and I love how they design this video game world that you can relate anything and it's good for the gamers to find it interesting, but only the good part for Disney. I love these characters including Ralph, Penelope, Felix and that Jane Lynch voice character which we've seen from her pop culture shows and they pitch their vocal perfectly. For me, this is a nicely video game crossover movie and this should've had won for the Oscar for "Best Animated Feature" because "Brave" had already won and it's the not best original animated film. But screw it, this is the best colorful animated film I had ever seen.
I love the ending.
Ralph's role never changes, but his view on it does. I really thought they were going to be like, "Guess what? Ralph's a hero!" but no he's still a bad guy which I love.
This is my second favourite film. The criticism that there's not enough video game characters is really weird to me. There's a really great story here, but people just want more distractions?
I think the problem is the trailers for Wreck it Ralph focused too much on the cameo appearances and once we saw those trailers, there were no more "real" video game characters afterwards.
But it is a good thing that they didn’t add too many cameos. That is one of the many things that The Emoji Movie did TERRIBLY
What's your first favorite?
To be honest with you, if the movie were only filled with references, it wouldn't make the film as enjoyable and meaningful because we wouldn't learn a thing from what the film was trying to tell us.
As said though, the problem was, like with many films, having deceptive trailers that hype bait it into looking the appeal is something that takes up only a very small amount of the real thing. If the advertising hadn't focused so much on the cameos I think a whole lot less people would have been pissed.
That scene where Ralph is destroying vanellope's car...... enough said.
My favorite joke:
You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses, would you?
You hit a guy WITH glasses...
Pixie Bubbles that's well played
I love that a movie like this can exist! It also explores a new idea that's a perfect opening to great stories to be inspired by: Game worlds being brought together through cables in an arcade. I think the idea is something we could really work with, even though it's TECHNICALLY originally a Tron idea, but this takes it to whole new levels.
This movie was probably the closest to a Pixar movie Disney made in my opinion, out of all their CGI movies (including Zootopia, which I quite liked but not loved). The plot was great, the jokes were funny and well developed, the characters were lovable, and the animation was colorful and grand. All those elements made this movie feel like Disney's version of Toy Story (aside from the original Toy Story). It's not perfect, as some parts like the middle and climax are kinda weak in how engaging they are (Pixar films do kind of have that weakness as well), but I still enjoyed the good stuff a ton and it gives a great message. And man, did Jane Lynch hit it out of the park with her performance. John C. Reilly was super lovable as well. I will definitely keep watching this one for a long time.
My only problem with Wreck It Ralph is that it spends too much time in Sugar Rush. You have a whole arcade, incorporate some of the other games a little bit more.
The movie didn't get good reviews
@@mrnobody2018 what do you mean it didnt get good reviews when it came out?
Maybe because of copyright?
I wish the sequel focused on that instead of the Internet.
Doesnt happen often that such cliches are brought so well. Yeah, I can see the criticisms. But because you get so invested in the character I can just look the other way.
Not a perfect movie, but sure as hell a movie I adore. At least a milliin times more than frozen or brave
Jane Lynch did an awesome job as Calhoun, and watching that wedding flashback scene where she whips out a Gatlin gun and goes full Rambo (or Bastion) on the Cybugs was... pure awesomeness.
It was basically Toy Story with video games but avoided becoming completely derivative.
My personal favourite Disney film!
I love how the four main actors (John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer and Jane Lynch) could believably play the roles they were casted in live action
Still prefer this over Frozen IMO
+PredakingXHunter X Haven't seen Frozen. But I still think The Lion King will always be Disney's best. But I really enjoyed Wreck-It Ralph...
+ChronomonHM No need to watch it, Its just a stereotypical disney princess movie but the evil queen is also the nice princess
I was too lazy anyway...
+PredakingXHunter X just let it go ...
+PredakingXHunter X Frozen is really overrated and does not deserve the huge attention it gets at all ánd this movie is really underrated and deserves way more attention than it got.
I feel like creation of Wreck it Ralph went something like this:
"Hey, let's make a movie about a candy world!"
"I dunno... Think that'll sell?"
"You're right. Let's put the candy world inside a video game. That way we can trick geeks into watching it!"
"Brilliant!"
One of disney's best
Wrek-it-Ralph deserves a sequel.
Titled: Wreck me Ralph
+League Of Nerds Pretty sure there's a Rule #34 Comic with that title out there.
invock oh I know, and it's a steamy one
+223Drone
If I sequel is made,
I will watch it of course, but I will be cautious about it.
They just that it is getting a sequel in 2018.
I always hear Wander from Wander over yonder when I watch this
I really love Wreck-It Ralph that I seen it at Classic Cinemas in Northriver Side Mall when I was a 11 year old child since November 2012 and then I got 📀 at F.Y.E in Gurnee Mills Mall since when I was a kid 12 years old in March 2013.
I would love to see a sequel to Wreck it Ralph. Perhaps a collector purchases an old Fix it Felix cabinet and sets it up in his home, and the characters of Wreck it Ralph find the world where all the characters from Home console games are.
Depending what save files he has or which games are in the consoles, multiple characters from multiple series can be seen entering and leaving through console portals. Then when the Fix it Felix is turned off, they have no access to the game world, and are trapped behind a barrier.
I heard they're doing a sequel :)
+EAPvideoz I've actually discussed this with friends and family about what their game world would be like, or how it would function with consoles and save files. Especially since unlike the arcade, the game isn't full restarted every time the game is accessed or played.
The discussion ended with the thought that the save file would be like a play script, and when the player is selecting a game file, or choosing a level to replay the game pieces would quickly refresh so they know the location, their role, their stats, and what abilities or weapons they have access to, the lines during the cutscenes, and the purpose of the level.
However, if the game is "turned off" I don't think it's like being unplugged. In the movie all the games were connected by the power belt/hub. Their respected cords and plugs acted as subway tunnels. So if they are off, but still plugged into a power belt with the other consoles, perhaps they can still access the hub. There might not be any power to the transportation, but they could still walk. Just a thought.
+Zebefreo :D Yeah, I remember reading them saying if they made a sequel that Mario would be in it, too!
They just announced that they're making one now called "wreck it Ralph 2" to be released in 2018!
I think it's called "Wreck-It-Ralph Ruins the Internet" or something like that.
I'm a Sonic fan, therefore I automatically liked this when I saw Sonic.
Sonic The Hedgehog was my favorite part of the movie.
Especially when he's voiced by Roger Craig Smith,the voice of Boom Sonic from Sonic Boom.
"S-U-G-A-R! Jump into your racing car! Sugar Rush!"
Nintendo felt like Disney Ripped off Mario Kart by using Sugar Rush,
so Nintendo decided to rip of Sugar Rush by using Mario Kart.
The Green Dragon 53 sweet sweet canyon vibes
Why didn't you mention the Turbo twist? It's a really awesome twist, it makes sense in the story, and it isn't predictable. It's such a good twist I find it hard not to talk about when mentioning this movie.
I actually cried when ralph destroyed the car
I'm glad that they kept the cameos to a minimum. The main cast is so much more interesting to the point where I wouldn't even care lf there were no cameos. It would feel so forced lf the cameos had a big role. I say that they did everything perfectly.
You thought her backstory was FUNNY?! FUNNY?!!? THAT FRICKIN TRAUMATIZED ME!!
I have NEVER seen this movie. I need to watch it.
Queen LeLe Do it. It's worth your time.
out of king candy's lines
the one i found the funniest
was "you wouldn't hit a guy with glasses
oh you hit a guy WITH glasses that's just plain funny
I can't wait for Wreak It Ralph 2!
+JadensBro Is there going to be a 2?
Julian Giddings Jack McBrayer said in a interview he signed for a sequel, the only problem is that he doesn't know he is going to do it.
MemeStar I'm excited too I love the first one
My favorite scene was when Ralph was flying out of the alien shooter game, hit sonic in the lobby, causing him to lose all his rings. XD
Have to say that _Wreck-It Ralph_ is the *Best Video Game Movie* ever!
Love this movie. Not perfect, of course, but pretty darn great.
Of course this pops up on my feed after the Wreck-It Ralph 2 trailer is released.
Nobody noticed the Owl City ending...
Adam's musics (if specifiaclly made for the film) basically amps up the awesomeness of any animated movie they're in!
Ever since seeing this movie I soooo want a Sugar Rush game! Why Disney don't make these things is beyond me...
+Souji Monaru They do have one, on mobile
*****
So, not a "real" game then... =P
+Souji Monaru They do have one, f2p online.
+'Murrican Oil ugh same.
Actually, the arcade by Space Mountain at Disneyland California has Fix It Felix cabinets there. It was awesome to actually play the game.
This came out in 2012? Man, I feel old!
Disney, THANK YOU! THANK YOU for giving us a good video game movie! Now, could you make a decent video game?
This movie was awesome
+studmalexy No shit, bro!
I was blown away by how much Alan Tudyk sounded like Ed Wynn. I had a brief moment thinking it was him when I first saw this movie. I had fun watching it in theaters and later got into some conversations with others about the classic video game references. Plus I enjoy the music
This is my favorite animated movie and I mean that
I figured the end battle was a throwback to video game bosses.
This movie was a lot of fun and had tons of heart, so for that reason I overlooked the cliches and just enjoyed the shit out of it. Lovely movie.
And the sequel has Ralph and company going into the internet.
_Sigh_
Prepare for the outdated memes.
That One Awkward Guy So Disney will try to sell us dank memes?
That One Awkward Guy there's gonna be a sequal
He means they're going to explore console and online gaming
superreviewerable No, that's not what I mean.
In the teaser image, it shows parody logos of Google and Amazon. Why would those parody logos show up in a Video Game console?
Maybe some hackers want to download their games fearing that gaming corporations are gonna make terrible, glitchy, unplayable PC remakes? I'm seriously asking
Who else is excited for the SEQUEL!!!
When was this??
Here! We'd better see Fix It Felix Senior!
Me!!
Isaiah Williams After watching the sequel, Ralph is definitely much better be left as a stand alone title. The sequel pretty much disregards what made the original so memorable and just retread over the same plot beat but less original by constantly shoving internet outdated memes and video and a bunch of product placement.
The sequel is much the emoji movie Which is bad on my opinion, and like those Ralph video like the rick rolled And Bob ross, and its not bad but were not gonna remember the movie
This is my favorite disney movie
Okay, I can understand how you can poo-poo the cart wrecking scene for being fairly typical, but you can't deny that Sarah Silverman owned that scene. The sound of her heart being broken really messed me up. That was an amazingly dark moment in a fairly bright film.
So strange to hear that some people disliked that Wreck-It Ralph didn't have as much pandering as they wanted because its creators spent so much of its running time focusing on making it a good story instead. Most reviewers I've seen were surprised by how good it turned out because the trailers made them suspect that it was just going to waste everyone's time with a bunch of pandering pablum video game references.
The thing that bothered me was the way the Nicelanders treated Ralph. They basically said that he was a terrible person just because he was the bad guy of the video game, even though the game couldn't survive without him. And then they wonder WHY he's so angry and wrecks things?
Wreck-It Ralph is hands down one of the best animated movies in the world. You can see how much imagination was put into this not to mention seeing the cameos of our favorite video game characters.
The commander's backstory scene, I just died of laughter from it, SPECIFICALLY her face while shooting. Never laughed harder at a movie
My favorite disney movie.
Fun fact the gun Calhoun uses in the third act has the same sound effect as the large robot tanks from terminator. The one they destroy with timed explosives and has a head like R.O.B the robot
i LOVED THIS MOVIE!
Kay Haven me too i love wreck it raplh i cannot wait for the sequel in 2018
No no. Wreck it Ralph had literally a 3rd act break up scene done right. You completely understand both sides which is heartbreaking to the audience.
the climax of this movie completely terrified me when I first watched it
Age?
This movie makes me cry every time I watch it.
I love this movie.
At first Jane Lynches character's (I forget her name and I'm too lazy to look it up) backstory seems really funny but when you actually think about it, it's really dark. Cybugs are like a virus, and it's shown at throughout the movie that whatever they eat, they become. Lynch's husband was eaten by a cybug. Which means she had to fight and KILL a deformed rendition of her husband. That's right, a grotesque human bug hybrid. ON HER WEDDING DAY. And as a side note, the game she exists in is often pointed out for it's high definition and violence. Just let that sink in.
Ironic part is fans of games love good villains
Can’t wait for the sequel
this is my second favourite movie!!
My favorite CGI movie. Critic said that the hurt-but-help-friend thing was done million times, but i cant remember CGI movie that did it so good. Cant hold tears when watch this scene. And I really like that this was friendship story, not love story that "Disney" used to make. Also, this movie have catchy song, and it is pitty that we dont hear it, well, in movie itself.
You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses, would you?
This is my little sister's favourite movie.
I like that it teaches the lesson about respect and don't take people for granted
O-R-EO! OREEEEEEEEO!
Shut up Mario kart fans!!!!!
I understand that a lot of people didn't like this movie because it didn't focus attention on the classic video game characters we've all come to know and love, but that's not what the movie is about. It's about these new original characters and their struggle to overcome evil and succeed in what they're doing.
I greatly appreciate Disney for doing something like that and I hope that the sequel is even better.
Well who knew the secret to a good videogames movie was to not have one singular videogames
"You really are a bad guy Ralph!" Like, no fucking shit
I love this movie
I still wish this film won over Brave, still I kind of like the Once Upon a Time-like twist to the ending
i think that the lack of video game characters can be a strength, cause they can have more if there's a sequal
