Fizzy, colourful and intricately plotted, this 2012 pop meta-fiction from The Simpsons' Rich Moore does for vintage arcade games what Who Framed Roger Rabbit did for the Golden Age of Animation. Go to Full Review

"Wreck-it Ralph" sets the table nicely but almost squanders it’s originality and cleverness with its frantic and occasionally numbing midsection. Go to Full Review

Dealer's Choice 11/19/2024 Fine for a kid's movie. My kid liked it. See more Good boy money Jan 5 Can't belive sonic is in this movie See more Marco L @decatur555 Dec 31 A joyful and deeply imaginative film that understands how to balance spectacle with heart. What begins as a clever concept quickly becomes a fully realized world with its own rules, personality, and emotional weight. The story moves at a confident pace, never relying solely on references or nostalgia, but building genuine connections through character and humor. The protagonist’s journey is surprisingly relatable, grounded in the universal desire to be seen and accepted for who you are. That emotional honesty is what gives the film its lasting impact. Visually, it’s bursting with creativity, yet always controlled and purposeful, serving the story rather than overwhelming it. Beyond its colorful surface, the film delivers a thoughtful message about identity and belonging without ever feeling forced. It’s entertaining, comforting, and smart — a rare combination that makes it memorable long after the credits roll. See more Davetheman Dec 24 What is sonic doing in here? See more Miguel C @Miguel3110 Dec 9 Detona Ralph não é o melhor filme da Disney, mas é excelente, muito bem-escrito e cheio de referências ótimas. See more Lesley F Dec 3 One of the greatest films of all time, a love letter to gamers and outcasts. It's a part of my life, a decade more and counting. Great characters, great heart, great villain.
