#WRECK IT RALPH CANDYLAND CHARACTERS MOVIE#
Heads Up- Here Come the Spoilers… Don’t Want to “Wreck” the movie for you!įor example, the real enemy of Wreck-It Ralph is Ralph himself.

So, to exemplify how grace and Mbird anthropology weave themselves throughout the narrative of Wreck-It Ralph, I’m intentionally going to draw connections between previous articles written on the site and how Ralph gets it right… Here’s the problem though: I’m discovering that as I write about Wreck-It Ralph, so many of the things this movie does well have already been written about here on the blog. Either way, I loved Wreck-It Ralph’s characters, its nerdy inside jokes, and above all, its refusal to play by the boot-strap yanking self-improvement fable it could have easily been. Or perhaps there’s no better metaphor for the bound will than one’s “programming” if you’re a video game character.

Perhaps there’s no better world to play out the drama of law-trapped characters than the unforgiving landscape of arcade video games, where achievement and failure are as heavy and as real as the roll of quarters in your pocket. Okay, so perhaps I’m a bit over-enthusiastic in my praise of Disney’s newest in-house release, but when movie critics call Wreck-It Ralph “pixar-esque,” well, we’ve kind of got to take notice. Score one for this year’s winter film season! With a half-dozen movies premiering on Mockingbird’s *must* see list (including The Hobbit, Les Mis, James Bond, Django Unchained…), Wreck-It-Ralph kicks off the winter with a pixelated parable of judgment, love, and identity so potent, you half-expected to see Martin Luther listed as a guest-writer in the credits.
