![]() ![]() The games are just that good in the film, you don’t want to leave them behind when the credits roll. And I know people online were asking to play Hero’s Duty as well. While Fix-It Felix is a fun, nostalgic romp to video games past, Sugar Rush is a game I would find myself completely addicted to. I truly hope Disney develops the other games featured in Wreck-It Ralph into full video games. As my friend and I noted during the movie, once you get to the Sugar Rush scenes, it’s impossible not to want candy, so make sure you arrive to your seat well-stocked with movie snacks! The writing here is hysterical too, lots of candy puns and visual gags to keep you laughing. The landscapes, the impeccable detail down to every sugary crumb, is just beautiful. I, like many of my friends that saw the film, want to LIVE in Sugar Rush. The attention to detail within the Game Central areas, the fun, polished 8-bit setting of Fix-It Felix and Niceland, and the sharp, HD animation within Hero’s Duty all just work together flawlessly. The animation is, in a word, breathtaking. You might think it difficult to give 2-dimensional video game characters a backstory, but Disney does it and does it well. The characters, although a mix of existing video games and the new games created for the film, all work perfectly together and you truly feel for the members of Bad Guys Anonymous, or the out of work Q*bert creatures. The story is one we can all related to feeling under-appreciated and trapped in your current position and willing to do anything to change your situation. Wreck-It Ralph is a triumph of story, characters, and animation. ![]() Once I saw not one, but two preview screenings (thanks to the Disney Parks Blog and a media screening via my own blog), I was not disappointed. So you see, Wreck-It Ralph had my heart before the trailers even came out. Centipede became MY game and I’d sit, amid the smoking and drinking, just to better my score (things were different in the 80’s kids). More than that, at the time my father was the general manager of a restaurant which had a lounge containing several table-top arcade games. Even though it was his present, I spent hours, way too close to the t.v., playing Q*bert, Pitfall, E.T., Pac Man, and Yars Revenge (which I never did understand the point of), among countless others. Being an Atari child, I remember like it was yesterday the Christmas morning when my big brother got his Atari 2600 and our lives were changed forever. ![]() When I heard it was an 8-bit game bad guy that traveled to other video games, I was instantly hooked. We first heard about it at the Disney D23 Expo in Anaheim in August of 2011. I will admit, I fell in love with Wreck-It Ralph before I even saw one clip from the movie. ![]()
