Trailer Watch: Wreck-It Wralph




"Hi. I'm Ralph, and I'm a bad guy"


Disney is never one to do things by halves, and Wreck-It Ralph doesn't look like an exception. A very clever premise, based around real-life video game villains, and one in particular who's had enough of being the bad guy.

Wreck-It Ralph is the title character and 'bad guy' of a 30 year old arcade game and Ralph (voiced by John C. Reilly) is fed up doing a job that everyone hates him for. He attends an 'AA' style meeting for video game villians, Bad-Anon, also attended by familiar faces such as the Pac-man ghost and Balthazar from the Mario game series. It is here that he renounces his bad guy status and abandons his arcade game and decides to go 'game jumping', travelling through various different genres of video and computer games to find out where he can be a hero.


Reilly is joined by the voices of Glee's Jane Lynch as a ferocious squadron leader, Sergeant Calhoun, in a space-age Call of Duty-esque game, and Sarah Silverman as a cute but equally annoying little girl Vanellope von Schweetz in a Candy Land scenario.


Like most video games today, the film is sure to be just as fun, loud and reckless, and with a Christmas Holidays release date, there's certainly going to be some stressed out parents looking for a way to entertain the kids for a few hours! Having said that... I would like to see it, but no parental supervision for me, thanks!
