This film follows Ralph, a video game villain from the arcade game Fix-It Felix, Jr. Ralph finds himself lonely and wanting more than just being the hated villain. He rebels against the beliefs and begins to game jump in hopes of finding the medal that will improve his life.

This film was directed by Rich Moore. His first animated film to direct. This film is a great film for children and adults. The film is full of familiar old characters from arcade games, and presents new ones. Unfortunately  there isn't much use for the familiar game characters other than fun to catch material. It is great to catch all the various references  and it does have a very cute story to follow. The story is predictable to most animated children's films. It has very likable and heartfelt characters that all children can enjoy. Which was great for this very character driven film. It was impressive how each character had a story that was wholly represented through the film. The story also shows that Disney has some respect for video games as an art style. It mixes various graphic styles to create each different video game world. It worked perfectly for the game, because they were able to create a kind of tempo for all the different worlds. It gave the film a very authentic feel. This film is very open in visual art styles and worlds which is rare in most modern films.

The cast worked great together. It is interesting that film didn't feature any child voice actors though. John C. Reilly voiced the character Wreck-It Ralph. He was great in his role. He created a villain that was full of heart. He became a character that audiences could easily relate to. Sarah Silverman voiced the character Vanellope von Schweetz. She was great in her role. She created the kid that everyone could fall in love with, and keep her acting like a child. Jack McBrayer voiced the character Fix-It Felix. He was great in his role. He created the very innocent character. Jane Lynch voiced the character Calhoun. She great in her role. She was the bad-ass in this film, but allowed her character to still have some deep emotion. Alan Tudyk voiced the character King Candy. This character reminded me so much of the Mad Hatter from the original Alice in Wonderland animated classic. He was very entertaining to watch as a character even with all of his strangeness.

I give this film 5 out of 5 stars! It does have a predictable plot, but it works for the film. It pays homage to the classic arcade video games, and can be enjoyed by all audiences.
