Ralph, a bad guy video game character tired of being cast as the bad guy and wants to hang out with the good guys, unlike others in the bad guy support group who have accepted their role in life he goes on a quest to change his status and hops to other games via the power cables to achieve said good guy status. As a fan of both classic Disney films and the newer Pixar films I couldn’t help but feel disappointed in this film it neither gives you the heart warming feeling of the classics or the witty humor of the modern classics. Its not that its a bad film but just misses the mark of what we have come to expect, we have been spoilt in the past and as other films have managed to attract both young and older audiences you have to say that this is purely for the younger audience. Which gives it a problem to that it references lots of video games of the past which the younger viewers aren’t going to recognize, so even though its nice to see these characters it just seems like an attempt to inject some life into some dead franchises whilst creating a new one. It seems a shame as the voice talent are spot on with John C. Reilly, Jane Lynch and Sarah Silverman’s character couldn’t have come sooner and would love to see her do more voice roles as she just has one of those great voices. It just seemed to miss the mark and for Jonathan Ross to say it is as good as Toy Story 1,2 and 3 is also missing the mark, there’s been worse Disney films but cant help but feel this one will be forgotten quickly. Its animation style reminds you of Pixar but they must had felt it misses the mark by not putting it under the Pixar name and feel it should be a series on the Disney channel rather then in the cinemas.
Verdict: One for the kids but don’t expect a classic
