This is probably the best part of the movie if you’re a gamer.
Gamers will have a blast spotting and naming each familiar character that appears on screen, and I certainly almost passed out from the excitement of trying to do so. There are many video game Easter eggs in Wreck-It Ralph, most notably in Game Central Station, the area where all characters congregate when they’re not inside their games.
I do feel like the movie is a little wasted on kids, but the straightforward storyline helps keep it a movie for everyone! Though gamers – especially older gamers who grew up in arcades – will love it for all its video game flavour, younger kids will like the show for its strong and identifiable lead characters. But of course, quests are never as straightforward as they seem.ĭisney is not wrong to say in their trailer that Wreck-It Ralph is a movie for everyone. But it seems to him that the only way to be a good guy is to be recognised as a hero – and the best way to do that is to earn himself a nice, shiny gold medal. Felix and the Nicelanders, on the other hand, spend their time in the lovely Niceland building, eating pie and even having disco parties. And for the last thirty years, when the arcade closes for the night, Ralph has gone back to the Niceland dump, alone with only bricks and a tree stump for company. For the last thirty years, Ralph has dutifully destroyed the Niceland building so players can use Felix to fix it back up. Wreck-It Ralph, with his halitosis and oversized hands, is the bad guy of the 8-bit 80s arcade game Fix-It Felix Jr. Though that one panorama of the Game Central Station from the movie has stuck in my head since it surfaced on the internet earlier this year, Wreck-It Ralph is less about video games than it is about the games’ hearts. Sweet, funny, with just the right amount of Disney-warmth, Wreck-It Ralph is peppered with lovely Easter eggs for gamers, and seasoned with a perfectly paced story for everyone else. Though its trailer had it typecast in our heads as the game-movie of the year, it’s a lot more than that. Wreck-It Ralph is an amazing movie, and not just for gamers.
