No prob Roc. Forgot to mention that there was a short attached to it called Paperman which was pretty good. Got a little weird near the end though. But it looked great.

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

It's been a while since there's been a great animated movie.

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

Interesting. I hope I get to see this in theaters.

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

Will it play well to old-school gaming geeks, like myself? :D

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

The last great animated movie for me was How to Train Your Dragon. I'm still excited about this, because of the video game angle. I'm a sucker for eating up those references.

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

I'm not necessarily a fan of animated films, but my gf and I both want to see this opening weekend. Looks like a lot of fun.

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

Yes, there are a ton of old school references, both from the NES era and a lot of early 80's Arcade things happening as well. The animation when they are in Fix it Felix's arcade machine is stilted, as if the characters are moving a few frames at a time (except Ralph and Felix). I really liked that, it almost reminded me of claymation. When some frosting gets splattered, the splashes are polygonal. That was a great touch.

A few of my favorites:


Also unexpectedly, there are a lot of real word food references. Specifically for Nestle products, since a lot of time is spent in the Sugar Rush game. Despite the product placement angle, those were funny as well.

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

Sounds like something I need to see with a bunch of devout gamers; those are wet dream levels of geekdom.

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

Saw this tonight and I really liked it too. I'd like to see it again to see if I can catch more of the gaming references thrown all over the movie. As someone who spent his teen years in the 80s in the arcade, this brought back fond memories of all of those quarters that I spent on many of the games referenced. I liked the detailed touches such as when thing glitched they turned to binary code and as mentioned before the way the different characters moved based on when their games came out.

The product placement was insane, but it all fit into the world nicely since most of them were attached to some pretty funny gags. My wife thought the marching Oreos were hilarious. The audience at our showing laughed a lot and applauded at the end. Surprisingly, most of the theater stayed for the entire credits sequence until the very end when the Disney logo "glitched."

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

Can't wait for this... it's actually one of my most anticipated movies for the year.

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

I had the privilege of seeing this at a midnight showing last night. I chose to watch it in 2D so I could see all the vivid colors on display, and it did not disappoint. This is one of the best animated movies I have seen in a long time, and certainly bests any from this year in my opinion.

For video game fans, particularly fans of old school arcade games like Donkey Kong and Pac-Man, this movie is a must see. I was pretty much playing Where's Waldo in sighting iconic video game characters and homages throughout the movie. And if there ever was an award for voice work, Sarah Silverman deserves it for her fantastic contributions here.

I'm pretty sure I'll make it back out to see the 3D version as well.

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

Taking the kids to a 3D viewing on Sunday. Glad all the reviews are positive.

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

I saw this on Monday, and I liked it even more than I thought I would. I thought Vannelope would be annoying, but after her first scene she wasn't at all. Just a terrific and funny movie.

85% on RT after 72 reviews.

Might take my kids in a week or two.

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

ParaNorman was only a few months ago. Children Who Chase Lost Voices, Summer Wars, and The Illusionist weren't that long ago either.

Anyways, I'm excited to see this this weekend.

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

ParaNorman is a good movie, but in terms of overall quality, I think Wreck-It Ralph is vastly superior.

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

There was a pretty cool short shown up front called Paper Man. The audience really seemed to enjoy it.

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

Great movie, maybe moreso to those that grew up with 80's games. Had a real Iron Giant feel going for it in bits.

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

I'm going to catch this tomorrow night.

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

Saw it. Loved this movie. A must see for anyone who grew up in the era of arcades and old-school nintendo. The best description I can make is it's Toy Story meets Tron. The voice actors all did a great job, especially Alan Tudyk. I did not know he was the voice of whom he did, he is so versatile.

I kind of figured out the twist of

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

Not to nit pick, but I thought TS3 was the last GREAT animated movie. It came out in June 2010, HTTYD came out in March 2010.

Loved TS3, maybe you did not think TS3 was a great animated movie?

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

I got to see the movie now...

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

Nope, didn't care for Toy Story 3 at all.

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

I liked the Paperman short 3/4 of the way but when

Really loved Wreck-it Ralph. A real fun movie, and the trailers didn't really show how big of a part that Vanellope was going to have in the movie and Silverman was surprisingly great. I actually thought there were going to be more real video game references, but there didn't seem to be that many besides what is in the trailers which was kind of a bummer to me, but not a huge deal. The worlds they created for Ralph and Sugar Rush were really fun to see the characters go through, and the movie did a good job hitting some really sad moments.

For instance,

Highly recommended, and especially loved the little 8-bit parts they have in the movie. I hope it does extremely well in the box office.

Re: Disney: Wreck-It Ralph
 

Exactly, that kind of killed it for me.
