Wreck-It Ralph

A video game villain feels ostracized by the other characters in his game. In an attempt to win their friendship he abandons his post to prove his worth. In doing so he meets a "glitch" in a neighboring  game and finds out what real hero's are made of.

This isn't quite up to Pixar standards in terms of story development but it is very clever.  The setting will appeal most to those familiar with the video games of the late '80's and early '90's. The humor is oddly crude for a Disney movie, perhaps aimed at the tweens more so than young children, but then the little ones may be distracted enough by the bright colors and loud noises that they won't care.

Cute, but forgettable.

** 1/2 Rentable

Rated PG (for some rude humor)
