Wreck-It Ralph is the 9-foot-tall, 643-pound villain of an arcade video game named Fix-It Felix Jr., in which the game's titular hero fixes buildings that Ralph destroys. Wanting to prove he can be a good guy and not just a villain, Ralph escapes his game and lands in Hero's Duty, a first-person shooter where he helps the game's hero battle against alien invaders. He later enters Sugar Rush, a kart racing game set on tracks made of candies, cookies and other sweets. There, Ralph meets Vanellope von Schweetz who has learned that her game is faced with a dire threat that could affect the entire arcade, and one that Ralph may have inadvertently started.

Review from the comment
Ralph is a long time video game baddie who longs to feel what it's like to be like his rival - Fix-It Felix. One day he decides to fulfill his dream and concocts a plan to make it happen. However, along the way it goes haywire and he creates some big problems. I was hoping that Wreck-It Ralph would come through, but it fell short of my expectations. I did very much enjoy taking a walk down memory lane and being reunited with some good times as a kid and the video games that it showed on screen. Filled with easter egg galore, but the second half of the film got away from what I really enjoyed and ended up being a little too cutesy. Many have said that this is the animated film of the year, but I still say Paranorman takes out Wreck-It Ralph.
