After yesterday's whiny type review, I've returned to happy town with the trailer for Wreck-It-Ralph! For months, I've seen the folks at my favorite theater wearing t-shirts with the movie's name and the main character's face on them, but I hadn't really heard much about the actual film. Today, I heard the trailer had finally been released, so I decided to check it out!*
The movie is about a video game character that gets fed up with doing the same job every day, especially since he's the bad guy in his game. The trailer quickly delves into deeper territory, showing you some of the other characters you'll be seeing. The film recognizes other video games that actually exist, as well as their characters. It's exciting to see beloved characters, even if it's just a quick glimpse.
Setting a film in the video game world seems like a lot of fun. I'd like to see Disney deliver on this one. They had success with Tangled, and I liked Bolt back when it came out. Disney has a director on board who has worked on Futurama before, as well as the Simpsons.** Add in a solid actor voicing the lead in the form of John C. Reilly. You've also got some solid comedic actors in the form of Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch, and Sarah Silverman; it's full of win!
We won't be seeing Wreck-It-Ralph until early November, but I look forward to it! Make sure you check out the trailer to see if it's going to be up your alley.
*Reddit was kind enough to have it linked on or near the front page.
**I'm not sure if working on the Simpsons gives him cred or not anymore...
