Wreck-It Ralph Appreciation Post




Wreck-It Ralph Appreciation Post

Can I just say how much I love this film. The design and art of the film are amazing. I mean there are so many fine details that makes this animated feature beautiful. It's not hard to believe that it was nominated for an Academy Award for best animated film. I personally love the characters. They mirror their voice actors basic features, but create adorably unique characters with a heart of their own. Also, the entire message of the film is accepting yourself for who you are. What gets better than that? They also were able to make Ralph intimidating as a villain, but a real sweet heart underneath it all. I've owned this film for a little while and have seen it multiple times already. It's really sad how much I enjoy this film. Seriously, I'm starting to even memorize the lines. Also, the designs of the various video games is so well-thought out. From the sugar coated details in the race game Sugar Rush to the simplicity of Fix-It-Felix Junior. I also enjoyed the aspects of how the side characters of Fix-It-Felix Junior could only move rigidly, because of their basic format. Yet the film did not cause a lot of interest until the character Vanellope von Schweetz is introduced.

Ralph describes her perfectly as an adorable winner and it couldn't be truer. Her character is so well done and mirrors the loneliness Ralph has felt for the past thirty years. They form an unlikely friendship that is deeply realistic. Both truly care about one another and find the acceptance they've never had from each other. All in all, the film is beautifully detailed. The art is gorgeous, majority of characters are well-rounded, the music is amazing and fits the film so well, and the story is pretty unique. This film is pretty high on my list of good plots and design.
