The Nicelanders have very jerky movement because they’re based on 8-bit sprites, which have limited animations. What this does is that it allows Wreck-it Ralph to make jokes based off of video games in general instead of specific video games. Donkey Kong, Hero’s Duty takes some influence from Halo (as well as a lot of other first-person shooters), and Sugar Rush, despite its Strawberry Shortcake world, seems to be incredibly similar to Mario Kart. obviously has a lot in common with Mario vs.
However, while they’re original, they’re also recognizable: Fix-it Felix Jr. Wreck-it Ralph features a lot of cameos from a variety of established games, but the three games it focuses on are original creations. This is why I’m so glad that Wreck-it Ralph decided to go a different direction after the first few scenes. I’ve seen some good web videos that have some really good takes on video games, but a lot of the time, they feel lacking just because they ultimately consist of just a bunch of references to the source material strung together by a weak plot. See my rant on memes for an elaboration on why. But I’m firmly of the opinion that references cannot hold up a work. The movie draws in its audience with that. You see Bowser, Sonic, a slew of Street Fighter characters, Pac-Man, etc. It’s probably a movie I’ll actually write up and record a review of at some point, but for now, I’m just going to go on about what exactly was so great about it.įirst of all, while the bulk of the movie takes place in what looks like a video game version of Strawberry Shortcake, the beginning was packed with tons of cameos. It ended up being even better than I remembered.īasically, Wreck-it Ralph is the best gaming movie we’ve ever seen, and is probably the best one we’ll see for a while. I remembered enjoying it when I saw it in theaters and figured it was worth a rewatch. I watched Wreck-it Ralph again, since a group at my university put it on in an auditorium.
