Wreck-It Ralph [Blu-ray]

A knockout ! I didn't rate this from just looking at the cover but when I bothered to read the reviews,I bought it ASAP !It was even better than I had imagined.Yep,it's all based around old video games but has been crafted to perfection !I fell in love with Von Sweet.I've got her figurine and simply love her character.She is one mischievous and double dealing knockout ! We,as viewers,were led down the road to think that she was an outlaw.The glitches were a master stroke,her racing rivals absolutely marvelous.And 'good' old Ralph - I'm glad I'm bad ! Reciting the mantra as he does a Superhero dive into the diet mountain was brilliant.It reminded me of Iron Giant.Yes,all those years ago.The Bugs 'swat' team was fantastic.I laughed my socks off at the scene where Ralph gets a hold of a combat uniform.Then snaps the closet lock ! The sheer inventiveness of the creative team was simply amazing ! As soon as the film ended,I immediately re watched it to get all the clever references I missed first time around.I lived through all those 8 Bit games and was a programmer too.Thinking about it,when Von Sweet and Ralph disappear into the Coke mountain to avoid capture by the King,that reminded me of The 13th Floor movie.As for the King himself..,well,what can I say ? He seems nice enough but there's just something about him that doesn't add up.Turbo.....,who....,Me ? Nah.I cannot praise this film highly enough,it's just awesome ! Some really stellar performances from the voice talent.OK,so it takes some ideas from Whacky Races.Dastardly and Mutly,with Vanellope a delightful twist on Penellope Pitstop.The whole concept has been re imagined for a new digital generation and they've done an excellent job,top marks !The accompanying Short - Paperman - is fabulous too.Don't miss that little gem.

The steelbook is a clever mix of retro simplicity. The film itself was a welcome surprise not knowing whether it would find a place among all the wonderful witty modern animated film's that grace your time. Wreck it ralph exceed's and deliver's in away that shrek managed in a refreshing, cool, funny manor; mixing all the element's to create a modern classic. A small minor problem was quickly resolved by the seller, who's service and kindness was greatly appreciated. Highly recommended.

Absolutely love this DVD! I am currently collecting all the Disney Villain limited edition DVD's, and this was a great start to my collection! The DVD case is amazing and all worth the price!

GREAT PACKAGE OF ONE OF THE ALL TIME BESTFILMS.CANT STOP WATCHING IT .I THINK I MIGHT NEED HELP OR AT LEAST SOME CANDY.

The media could not be loaded. Did you ever wonder that maybe deep within the code of your video games that the actual world of the characters might really exist in some sort of Matrix-like universe? What if the personality coded into them gave them life? That's the premise of Wreck-It Ralph, a sort-of Who Framed Roger Rabbit for the video game generation.In a busy arcade filled with classics such as Pac-Man and Q-Bert (out of order) to modern kart racers such as (the fictitious) Sugar Rush, a humble Rampage clone called Fix-It Felix is nearing its 30th anniversary. During the night, when the arcade is closed, the characters from all the games come together in a hub located inside the power supply. Wreck-It Ralph, the antagonist of Fix-It Felix is feeling lonely and depressed at being treated like the bad guy outside of play-time and resents never being invited to parties. Tired of this alienation he takes off on a quest to gain trust, respect, and adoration by becoming a hero.True to his name, he just causes disaster, but soon meets another outcast in the glitchy form of Vanellope von Shweetz, a deleted character locked away in the code of Sugar Rush. They bond, and work together, and in this middle act the film sags, lurching dangerously close to Shrek territory, substitutes the video game culture the fans have been enjoying for candy-based puns, which feel like they belong in a different movie, and recycles the ancient "be yourself" moral that Disney has been milking for many decades. Vanellope is ultimately likable, but her appearance and personality is torn straight from the Pixar Book of Universal Character Clichés and Child Brats (the movie is actually a Disney production, but the comment still stands).Thankfully, the movie recovers and kicks into high gear for the final act. Ralph accepts his role as a villain within his video game and secures his status as a hero to the audience, up there with Baloo and the Beast. He IS similar to Shrek, but superior, and his is a superior movie.Video game fans will love the diverse range of characters featured here (Kano, Sonic, Zangief - among many others) while all viewers will adore the beautiful color pallet and Henry Jackman's fun score. There's a lot of imagination here and, middle act aside, Disney have created a lot of potential for a very wide universe and franchise. I eagerly await Wreck-It Ralph 2.The Blu-ray looks beautiful in 2.40:1 1080p (no 3D option with this Steelbook edition) with DTS HD-MA sound. There are a good amount of extras including the 2012 Academy Award-winning Disney short Paperman.

Very original artwork, and this piece helped me to complete the zavvi Disney steelbook collection.

Perfect

A great buy at a great price.
