Wreck-it Ralph Review

I love Disney movies, but was not too excited to see Wreck-it Ralph.  My son wanted to watch it so bad and it just happened to come out the week of his birthday.  We rented it through Amazon.com the night of his party.  I mean really, a movie based on video games?  That did nothing for me, but the kids wanted me to sit and watch.

I was kinda excited after I saw the world that was created inside the arcade games.  It was completely original.  A little deep for a few 7 year old kids, but had something for girls and boys.  There were big guys, mean guys and good guys for the boys.  The girls got all the pretty candy, little girls and a princess.  Oh and who can forget the racing that both loved since there was speed for the boys and cute little candy cars for the girls.

This poor guy Ralph is on a mission to get a gold medal so people from his game will not be afraid of him.  He wants to show them he can be a good guy.  He starts off breaking everything he touches until he meets this cute little girl that keeps getting bullied because she glitches in and out.  Ralph discovers that he is not the only one being secluded and pushed aside. So he starts a mission to help her win her medal by racing.  When he finds out that if she crosses the finish line that the game will reset, he goes into overdrive to help her out.

She teaches him to believe in himself while she knows who she is, but has a hard time getting to the finish line alone with so many obstacles (mean girls and the king) in the way.  Ralph steps in and breaks things that are blocking her path and pushes her harder to reach her goal. He returns to his game and is finally accepted within his community....uh game.  Makes you wonder what the Mario brothers are doing while the arcade is closed.
