Review: Wreck-It Ralph


            Wreck-It Ralph is one of the best films Disney has made in years. The film was full of so much joy and heart and it’s really nice to see the character who should be the “villain” trying to become a better person. In films marketed at children the lines between good and evil are usually so finely drawn and there isn’t any crossing between the two. It’s a wonderful thing to show children that just because a person seems bad it doesn’t mean they are, it’s something so many more children’s films should show that getting to know a person is the most important thing. Many children’s films will say getting to know a person is the most important thing but they don’t really follow up with any proof to that saying, the good character is still good and the bad character is still bad. This is not the case with Wreck-it Ralph the two main characters are both people who are seen as “bad” one being the major “villain” in a video game, Ralph, and the other being a “mistake” put into the game or a “glitch” as they call her, Vanellope. It was also so much fun seeing a movie take place in for lack of a better term “video game land” the arcade setting was great and all the characters were well thought out, it was also fun seeing the cameos of other popular video game characters in the film. During the film you often felt so much sympathy for the characters you may even begin to cry a little, I know I did so many times Vanellope and Ralph were mistreated it was upsetting but it was shown that you can overcome that and I think that’s what really gives the film the most merit. The greatest part about this film is showing that you can overcome anything and that you should certainly get to know someone before you judge them.
