Ralph (John C. Reilly) is a video game character with real heart and soul. He stands 9 feet tall with a large muscular body and very large hands. His character portrays the bad guy who is continually thrown off of the top of the building in his video game. He is programmed to destroy buildings and his counterpart Fix-it Felix (Jack McBrayer) is programmed to fix everything that Ralph destroys with his magic hammer.
This is the story of Ralph trying to fit in with all of the characters of his video game. All of the people dislike him and he is an outcast because he is the "bad guy"! He is told that he will never be included unless he can prove to all of them that he is worthy and he needs to justify his worthiness by earning a medal to prove he can be a hero. If he can pull this off, then he will eagerly be accepted into their world. So he sets off to find a way to prove himself to be a hero and receive a medal of honor. He soon ends up wrecking everything, including unleashing viruses that threaten the entire arcade!
He encounters a darling little girl named Vanellope (Sarah Silverman) who is considered a "glitch" and continues to not fit in with the characters in her video game "Sugar Rush". She is plagued by a group of peers who are bullies and make her cry. Ralph is there and he helps her to handle them and chases them off.
Vanellope's dream is to drive a racing car and win a race. If she win's, then she receives a medal! So they work together to help each other out. Chaos ensues and the plan is almost sabotaged. The King, King Candy (Alan Tudyk) was evil and tried to undermine Vanellope's success at winning her race.
This movie is really cute and has a lot of sensitive moments in it. The animation and the colors in the movie were absolutely outstanding! I really appreciated that they addressed the issue of bullying and the heartache it can cause!!!
Parents be aware that it has some cartoon style violence and potty humor. I believe that it will be appropriate for most children ages four and up.
I am giving "Wreck-It Ralph" three bags of popcorn!
