| Tired of being the bad guy, Ralph (John C. Reilly) tells other arcade baddies his concerns. |
If you're one of the millions out there logged into XBOX Live or World
of Warcraft hours and hours at a time, or perhaps spent your childhood battling
side-scrolling adventures with Mario or Link, Disney's latest animated release,
Wreck-It Ralph speaks to gamers
regardless of age.
Wreck-It Ralph begins in the
8-bit world of Fix-It Felix Jr., reminiscent of a classic 1980s arcade game
that borrows heavily on Mario and Donkey Kong. For 30 years, Wreck-It Ralph
(John C. Reilly) has been programmed to be the bad guy, whose only job is to
demolish a solitary penthouse before his cheery hammer-wielding adversary,
Felix fixes the wreckage. For once, Ralph just wants to be adored as the good
guy and decides to venture off to other games in the arcade to win a medal. After
battling bugs in a sci-fi first-person shooter, Ralph lands himself in a
candy-coated go-kart game where everything isn't as sweet as it seems.
