Wreck-It Ralph (voiced by John C. Reilly) is the bad guy in a Donkey Kong like video game Fix-It-Felix, whose lead character of the same name (voiced by 30 Rock's Jack McBrayer) repairs the broken windows of the apartment building that he destroys and after accomplishing the task gets a pie from the tenants and a medal as well. On the other hand, they throw Ralph off the building. He's tired of being overshadowed by the lead character and always being the bad guy so on the time of the games 30th anniversary, Ralph opens up all his hang-ups to fellow video game villains to an Alcoholics Anonymous inspired group meeting. The result is him going into other video games looking for that medal and ultimately recognition that he did not get from his own game.
From video games characters of the distant past such Pac-Man, Street Fighter's Ryu, Ken and Zangief, QBert, Tapper, Super Mario Brothers' Bowser and many more, Wreck-It-Ralph is such a joy to watch for us who grew up playing them. Add to it the new video games and characters from the movies such as Hero's Duty, inspired by Call of Duty and the Japanese anime inspired Sugar Rush and a funny wisecracking and entertaining script, added by soon to be well-known characters Vanellope von Schweetz (voiced by Sarah Silverman) and Sergeant Calhoun (voiced by Jane Lynch), Wreck-It-Ralph may be not that original, I can see some traces of Monsters Inc., Toy Story, A Bug's Life and Who Framed Roger Rabbit in it, but it doesn't disappoint and gives the right amount of fun and entertainment to people of all ages.
