Wreck-It Ralph
1st Trailer
Watch It Here
Person of Interest: John C. Reilly as the misunderstood Donkey Kong meets Rampage "villain" Wreck-It Ralph, Jack McBrayer as Mario clone Fix-It Felix, Sarah Silverman as a freakishly annoying princess, Jane Lynch as Samus crossed with Master Chief, Q-Bert, Zangief, Bowser, M. Bison, Clyde the Pac-Man Ghost, and Dr. Robotnik.
Scene Pop: That Bad Guy Anonymous meeting. Seriously, video game dreams do come true.
Briggs Breakdown: Six video game character cameos, three video game composite worlds, four Donkey Kong free-falls, several bug-killing combos, and a time-displaced arcade.
Effective?: Yes, particularly in selling the cutey-cute moments for families and non-gaming audiences.
Check it Out?: Day One for myself. This is destined to be the Who Framed Roger Rabbit? for a new generation. I'm a little worried though that it might end up being another Meet the Robinsons and the old man mentality that video games are too complicated now-a-days is a bit dumb and misguided. Additionally, that great meeting scene is ill-timed after that Toy Story 3 short which also had a group therapy session, involving lost and forgotten fast food toys, and had Jane Lynch in it as well. Still, this looks to be great fun.
