Movie Info
Ralph (John C. Reilly) is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix (Jack McBrayer), the "good guy" star of their game who always gets to save the day. But after decades doing the same thing and seeing all the glory go to Felix, Ralph decides he's tired of playing the role of a bad guy. He takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a game-hopping journey across the arcade through every generation of video games to prove he's got what it takes to be a hero. On his quest, he meets

Disney's found a lot to play with here, but you may find yourself itching to take the controls.
Top CriticYou'll either love it or you'll admire it, while wishing it would calm down and, I don't know, maybe pick up a book for a while.
It's a cool game, to be sure, but watching someone else play it gets old after a while.
For anyone with a grade-schooler and a free Saturday, it's a pretty safe and painless bet. And a great excuse to go up to the attic later and see if you can dig out your old Atari 2600.
Unlike the Pixar films toward which it aspires-which marry sophisticated conceits to straightforward storylines-Wreck-It Ralph consistently gets lost in its own intricate plot mechanics.
'Wreck-it Ralph' is a serious contender for the title of best animated film of the year.
A bubbly, buoyant treat with near-Pixar levels of heart.
Ralph's arms may be gorilla like, his fists gigantic hammers, but Reilly imbues him with rue and courtliness.
An excellent, inventive, anti-bullying adventure that may be a little too technologically advanced for older audiences.
Wreck-It Ralph is a highly original and exciting film that puts Disney Animation right up there with Pixar in terms of providing a story full of emotion, heart and energy.
Hyperactive day-glo fizzy-pop family animation with a heartfelt message about staying true to yourself lurking underneath all the visual fireworks.
Once again Disney has created an immersive world that's rich with detail, populated by characters who have problems humans can identify with and characteristics that make them likable. "Wreck-It Ralph" is a winner.
A very clever, delightfully funny and visually stunning Disney film. And yet we end up watching it having already seen its potential to be something much more enticing.
The prospect of inevitable sequels is more than bearable.
For some, Ralph's spell in Sugar Rush's candy-coloured world may induce hyperglycaemia... but hard-core gamers will have a blast picking up all the gaming in-jokes and references that fly over everyone else's heads.
Just like the camera gave us the heads of Frankenstein and Hellboy, so we always get Ralph's giant hands first here.
It's a little frantic at times but great fun, clever and well-crafted.
A colourfully cute romp for kids.
The film is nicely animated but confusing enough to be almost impenetrable at times.
Warm, witty, wacky and wonderful, Wreck-It Ralph deserves to stand alongside the best of Disney, while also feeling like it wouldn't be out of place at Pixar's table.
Visually ambitious and packed with inside jokes for arcade gamers, this colourful animated adventure is an enjoyable romp but is probably too energetic for its own good.
This is a hugely enjoyable entry in the Walt Disney Animation Studios catalogue. It sits well alongside the likes of Tangled, balancing both anarchic humour and classic Disney sentimentality very well.
Wreck-It Ralph is witty, ingenious and entertaining, a technical and creative breakthrough on a par with Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, 25 years ago.
I found the idea of teens laying down their coins to play arcade games in this present day a strange, semi-intentional archaism - nostalgic wish-fulfilment on the part of the middle-aged people creating the movie.
It's a CGI time-machine for those who misspent their youth developing RSIs on bleeping 8-bit arcade consoles.
Play an actual videogame instead.
