And each scene is packed with clever word-play and visual gags that feel subversive even if it's all rather ridiculous. At least the animators and actors add plenty of detail, with Reiley giving a terrific sense of inner life to Ralph and Lynch stealing her scenes with all the best lines ("I have the most tragic back-story ever!"). On the other hand, all of this mayhem wears us down, as scenes never settle in long enough for us to get a sense of who these characters are. So with the different animation styles and eclectic ensemble of characters, our eyes aren't bored for a second. And there are also appearances by iconic favourites such as Pac-Man, Mario and Q*bert. Each of these games, and the transfer station between them, is populated by spirited characters with their own subplots. It is the 52nd animated feature in the Disney Animated Canon. Wreck-It Ralph is a 2012 American 3D computer-animated action comedy film created and produced at Walt Disney Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Unlike the pixellated Fix-it Felix Jr and the virtual reality of Hero's Duty, Sugar Rush is a pink-hued, delicious-looking land of sugary treats. For the character, see Wreck-It Ralph (character). The majority of the plot takes place here, as Ralph teams up with unloved "glitch" Vanellope to challenge the smiling tyrant King Candy (Tudyk). But a killer bug follows him into the candy-themed road-race game Sugar Rush, threatening the balance of the whole arcade. There he's trained by tough-talking squadron leader Calhoun (Lynch) and battles space insects to win a medal and escape. After 30 years of this, Ralph is feeling just a little bit down, and for once wants to be the hero. He wants to be the good guy for a change, so heads across the room into another game, the combat role-play adventure Hero's Duty. Reilly) is the bad guy in the vintage Donkey Kong-styled arcade game Fix-It Felix, where he steals the heroine, smashes a building, and (at the end of each winning game) gets thrown off the roof into the mud. But after 30 years, Ralph is tired of being the unloved villain. The story is set in a vintage 1980s arcade game called Fix-it Felix Jr, in which Felix (voiced by McBrayer) must repair damage inflicted by Ralph's (Reilly)massive fists. So in the end we've enjoyed the talent of the animators and the vocal cast, but we feel rather exhausted. WiR2 could focus on other types of video games beyond those in arcades, or the origin of Fix-It Felix Jr.s father, or even go into that Sims/GTA mashup they didnt have time for in the first one. It simply never settles down so that we can sink into its various settings or get to know its lively characters. I feel like theres a ton left to explore in this world and the themes to warrant a sequel, certainly more so than Frozen. Visually ambitious and packed with inside jokes for arcade gamers, this colourful animated adventure is an enjoyable romp but is probably too energetic for its own good.
