A Movie about Video Games and Much More


Disney Pixar’s most recent film Wreck it Ralph is a movie for kids of all ages from three to sixty-three. Anyone who has ever played an arcade or video game of any kind will appreciate this movie. The story revolves around Ralph the terrible wrecking villain present in the 1980s arcade game Fix it Felix Jr, but Ralph isn’t all that terrible. After all, he’s just doing his job. If Ralph didn’t wreck things, there would be nothing for Felix to fix. Unfortunately, Felix and the other townspeople don’t realize that without Ralph they would cease to exist, and Ralph is treated like an outcast and left to sleep in a dump while the others in the game stay in their cozy penthouse suites.  In hopes to improve his situation, Ralph goes on a quest to win himself a medal and prove that he isn’t as bad as the townspeople make him out to be.

After winning a medal from the game Hero’s Duty, Ralph loses it in the candyland world of Sugar Rush to a little go-kart racing girl Vanellope, who needs the medal just as much as he does. Vanellope talks Ralph into helping her win a race that will gain her respect in her game in return for the medal she took from him, which he believes will finally give him respect in his game back home. Ralph is reluctant at first to help the little girl but when he realizes that her situation is even worse than his own, he decides to put his own mission aside in order to help her. As the two unlikeliest of partners develop a friendship, Ralph becomes the hero he has always longed to be and he understands that a hero is much more than someone who is awarded a golden medal.

Wreck it Ralph is another visually stunning Pixar movie worthy to see on the big screen and has one of the best Pixar storylines since Finding Nemo. Boys and girls alike will equally enjoy the movie with the story of Ralph and Vanellope. Wreck it Ralph is the perfect movie to watch as a family, or if you’re like me… a perfect movie to just sit back and enjoy. Wreck it Ralph debuted in theaters November 2, so if you want to make it to the movie before the Christmas rush of movies possibly takes this out of the theaters, now would be the time to see it before it gets left out like Christmas trees on December 26.

Stay tuned for my next post: "The Triumphal End of the Batman Trilogy"
