TALK BACK: Wreck-It Ralph

Posted on by

Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph is now in theaters, and though some of us are waiting until Sunday to take our little ones to see the tale on the big screen, we know many of you rushed out to see the movie on opening day.

From Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore comes “Wreck-It Ralph,” a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping adventure. For decades, Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) has been overshadowed by Fix-It Felix, Jr. (voice of Jack McBrayer), the good-guy star of their game who always gets to save the day. Tired of playing the role of a bad guy, Ralph takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a journey across the arcade through multiple generations of video games to prove he’s got what it takes to be a hero.

What did you think?  Was it worth the build up and hype?  Should Disney leave the 3D animation to Pixar and focus on traditional animated movies, or was this the best video game movie to come down the line since Toy Story made reliving your childhood cool again?
