Re: Wreck It Ralph - a triumph! Destined for huge box office success!
Saw it on Monday.. loved it.
For King Candy.. I immediately thought of The Toymaker from Babes in Toyland. Given the setting of Sugar Rush, and the Ed Wynn acting.. that's what I thought of. Anyone else?
I also assume the arcade attendant was supposed to be Walter Day (of the high score keeping Twin Galaxies)
I found the movie tear jerking at times.. and a great film. Its story is masked enough it doesn't feel like 'heres what coming...' all the time. The cameos are good.. the idea of the power strip is very cute. I was hoping for a bit more classic arcade twists.. but there was certainly enough to wet your whistle.
I still wonder how these films will last over time compared to other 'classics' - with my main concern with the use of contemporary pop in the soundtracks and some of the pop culture references (the Mentos, etc). But certainly worth the price of admission and left me willing to recommend the film (or see it again).. something the Tron did not
