Wreck-It Ralph

Walter Helwich believes that the animated comedy “Wreck-It Ralph” directed by Rich Moore,  is a real masterpiece. This animated movie stars John C. Reilly, Jack McBrayer and Jane Lynch.

Walt Disney Animation brings us an animated story about video games, showing us the lives of computer-generated characters from a totally different point of view. The director Rich Moore (The Simpsons), created his first-born, based on the story “Wreck-it Ralph”, which he wrote in collaboration with the duo Phil & Jim Johnston Reardon. Johnston and Jennifer Lee adapted the story in an authentic movie script, which lead us some 30 years back in the past, at a time when video games were just a privilege for smaller number of people (mainly adults and teens). Ralph is the main star, a villain from a video game. Furthermore, Felix is the good guy, who succeeds to amend the situation on the overall satisfaction of building residents, adds Mr. Helwich.

Ralph decides to change something in his monotonous life, when he felt tired. Actually, Ralph wants to receive little attention, a warm human word, and above all, public recognition in the form of medals. Driven by his own ambition, he embarks on a journey into the world of other games, where he will encounter some other colorful characters, such as Calhoun and Vanellope von Schweetz. The Walt Disney Animation team engaged into this project very ambitiously, and they hoped that it will address to wider audience. In fact, these animated heroes remind us all that we used to enjoyed the video games with the same zeal just like these kids today. Therefore, we shouldn’t be surprised by the fact that the $ 165 million invested in production were covered for about 4-5 months. Click here to see Walter's video review about this movie.
