The Age (Australia)

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.

Deep Focus Review

Phil Johnston and Jennifer Lee’s script finds sad, trapped, silly characters locked inside their programming and desperate to escape, and in these energetic and colorful settings, losing yourself in their struggle for freedom and acceptance is effortless.

Rated: 3/4

Keith & the Movies

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

Rated: 3/5

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Even if "Wreck-It Ralph" is off a little in pace and organization, the movie has creativity, originality, and spirit to spare.

Rated: 4/5

From beginning to finale this movie is awesome. The reveal of turbo was done phenomenal. I wish they had more time to have more emotional moments because every time it was supposed to it didn’t hit right.
