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.

On his quest, Ralph meets tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch) from the first-person action game Hero’s Duty, and feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman) from the candy-coated cart-racing game Sugar Rush, who may just be his first real friend. But everything changes when a deadly enemy is unleashed, threatening the entire arcade and Vanellope herself. Ralph finally gets his chance to save the day—but can he do it in time? “Wreck-It Ralph” crashes onto the big screen on November 2, 2012, in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.

I don’t remember the last time I laughed so hard in a movie….at the same time as my kids!  Wreck It Ralph is by far the best movie I have seen this year and I think my kids would agree!  It had something for everyone….  Old-school video games for me, a super-cute little girl for my daughters, newer video game references for my 14-year-old, fart jokes for my 8-year-old son, and lots of action for my 4-year-old.  I was able to take six children to this movie, by myself without one issue!  They were glued for the entire movie and have not stopped talking about it for weeks!  Even my youngest is quoting lines to his friends!  ”I love my mama” is his favorite!  One of the things I loved about Wreck It Ralph is how clever it was.  It was not predictable and kept me guessing throughout the whole movie.  The story line was absolutely brilliant, and I couldn’t get over how many creative references to other video games there were.  I am definitely going to have to see it again to pick up the ones that I missed!  My favorite character was Vanellope von Schweetz.  She was SO cute, lovable, and spontaneous!  Just my type :)  I think, if I had the chance, I would adopt her!  Disney’s ability to make it’s audience fall in love with these animated characters will never cease to amaze me!  If you can only pick one movie to see this holiday season, “Wreck It Ralph” will not disappoint!

Wreck It Ralph is rated PG by the MPAA, and crashes onto the big screen on November 2, 2012, in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.
