Wreck-It Ralph


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Naomi

First off the new Disney short Paperman is just beautiful. And animation wise, it's pretty revelational. I hope this push toward new hybrid forms of animation continues to be explored, the results are great.

Wreck-It Ralph ticks all the boxes. And to my delight the story wasn't spelled out in the trailers but, more like a Pixar film, they show just enough of the initial premise to give you the starting point and it develops from there.

Big nostalgia factor here, even non-gamers should be able to recognise the nice little touches thrown in all over the place.

Alan Tudyk does his best Ed Wynn impression. When People say this film is like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, I see they more than just the ridiculous amount of character licensing going on...

This one is a real winner. It's got the great nostalgic concept, the awesome action and visuals, brilliant animation and great characters with a whole lot of heart. Can't wait to see it again.

  1. I loved it too :) Had a big laugh at Beard Papa in Sugar Rush, it's an Japanese chain of cream puff stores. I knew someone who was trying to get one going here in Perth!
