A world where video game characters travel from game to game and mingle in a surge protector that acts like a "train" station to each game.

Even though this could feel like a modern spiritual successor to that of Pixars Toy Story, being inside arcade games contra the real world and relying on the concept of gaming characters having a destined path contra toys having a destined purpose, does indeed make a difference.

It was a surprise when watching this today to find so much of the screen time devoted to the fictional kart-racing game Candy Rush (I expected from what I'd read about the film that it would be mainly set in Hero's Duty) but the Candy Rush part of the film captures the essence and feel of a Mario Ka...

While the rest of the characters in the game live and party together in the building where the game is set, Ralph lives alone in a dump and goes to a support group for video villains.

Even outside of the game their movement is very jerky and awkward, imitating that of old games and lacking the fluidity of characters from modern gaming.

Kids will love it, specifically Sarah Silverman's character of Vanellope. Adults will like it because the story is well thought out and the comedy delivers. There's something for everyone in Wreck-it Ralph.
