Yeah, I gotta say I agree. Only just now watched it after constantly passing on it for something else, but I must say I'm surprised by how fantastic it was. I think, as a gamer, it was doubly-awesome for me to sit back and try to catch every reference.
The game world doesn't make any sense when you think about it (are there many versions of the same game? If they can travel through electricity, why don't they move to another arcade? Can they do that? etc), but I found that it didn't bother me. Also, I was surprised by how much I liked the kid. From the trailers, she looked annoying as hell, but they really gave her a great story and personality.
Gotta say, it made this old, dried up, dead heart beep a little on ye olden EKG.
since i have a three year old girl i saw pretty much everything and i would say this is the one that had me smile! i was definitely entertained by this one so sure this is the best of 2012 (didnt see rise of the guardians though)

For sure, best animated film of 2012, perhaps for many years.
