Wreck-it-Ralph





There are lots of interesting characters in this movie Wreck-it-Ralph, the main characters are the most important. The writers did add games characters that we all know and love such as, Pac-Man, Bowser (from Mario brothers), Dr.EggMan (from Sonic) and others.















Characters

Ralph -- is the main character he is a big lovable bad guy that only wants to be appreciated for what he does. The reason why he wants this is because the Nicelanders are always telling Fix-it-Flex how great of a job he is doing and at the end of every game when Ralph gets thrown off the top of the building Flex gets a medal. Ralph wants a medal as well so he goes on a search for one in other games.

Fix-it Felix is the good guy in his game and when he finds out in the movie that Ralph has gone out to find a medal he starts to get worried. This is because if Ralph leaves the game then the game isn't complete and they could get unplugged and all the characters would be game-less.

Calhoun-- Hero's Duty is another game in the arcade. She has an important role because when Ralph gets told that at the end of Hero's Duty you get a medal he goes to the game to climb the building and retrieves the medal. Calhoun has to help stop a dangerous virus that he ends up getting into the sweet little game Sugar Rush.

Vanellope -- she's the glitch in the game Sugar Rush, she has to hide in the game because she is an outcast.  All she wants to do is race, and win. There is a secret about Vanellope in the movie, but I can't tell you that.

Last in the game Sugar Rush there's a jolly, but evil king, named no other than King Candy. He is the one that makes sure that the glitch doesn't get to much freedom. He also has a secret that I cant tell you.

The Plot

Wreck-it-Ralph is all about being who you are and never changing that no matter how people treat you or how you feel inside. In the movie Ralph feels unappreciated for what he does, who could love a bad guy? When Ralph hears that you can get a medal in the game Hero's Duty he leaves his game and goes to Hero's Duty to get him the medal. While getting the medal he awakes a virus in the game (a cybug). The cybug was in the space craft with Ralph, they leaves Hero's Duty and land in Sugar Rush where he meats Vanellope. After thinking that he killed the cybug he went to go find his medal that landed in a tree. While trying to climb the tree Vanellope decides to take the medal not telling Ralph the reason why. In the game Sugar Rush you need one coin to enter the race, taking Ralph's medal Vanellope uses it like a coin to get entered in the race. The only way that Ralph can get his medal back is if he get Vanellope to win the race. King Candy finds Ralph and gives him his metal back not telling him how he got it. Ralph is confused, Vanellope runs out of Dite Cola mountain and gives Ralph a heart shaped cookie, withthe . Ralph destroys Vanellope's car because King Candy explains why Vanellope shouldn't race.  While all of this is going on the Fix-it-Flex Jr. game is going crazy. Felix goes out to find Ralph where he runs into Calhoun to help. When Calhoun and Felix find find Ralph it is already to late the race began and the cyborgs where destroying everything. Spoiler Alert In the end of the movie King Candy is trying to kill Vanellope this is where we learn that King Candy is Turbo. Turbo was one of the best racing games in the olden days Turbo wasn't happy about all the new games. Turbo went into other racing games and corrupted them that is why when game characters go into other games they call it Turboing. Turbo had created a perfect world to live in by taking Vanellope out of the software of the game which made her a glitch. After King Candy (Turbo) gets eaten by a cybug, Ralph, Felix and Calhoun try to get everyone out of the game before everything is completely destroyed. As a glitch Vanellope can't leave the game. Ralph knows that in order for the cyborgs to stop destroying everything they need a beacon of light to end their distortion. Ralph goes to Diet Cola Mountain to knock the mentos in to it to create an explosion to call all the cyborgs back. When he's up there he runs into Turbo (whatever a cybug eats they gain. Sorry should have mentioned that earlier) becoming the strongest virus in the arcade. While Turbo is making him watch Vanellope get attacked by cyborgs he risks his own life to save hers. By breaking free and diving right in to Dite Cola Mountain. Vanellope sees Ralph glitches to her car and saves his life in the end. In the end of the race after Vanellope crosses the finish line the game rests the whole game and the racers learn that Vanellope the glitch is princess of the whole game. As the movie comes to a close Ralph is talking about how his life has changed and the Nicelanders are being nice to him and even though he still has his same job his favorite part of the day is when the Nicelanders pick him up to throw him off the roof because he can see Vanellope racing. Ralph says "Turns out I don't need a medal to tell me I'm a good guy. Because if that little kid likes me, how bad can I be?"

Favorite quote of the movie - I'm bad, and that's good, and that's not bad, there's no one I'd rather be then me. 

My opinion of the movie

I think this is an amazing movie. I liked all the characters I loved the story line behind it and I love the ending and the song in the credits. Honestly call me a sap the end of this movie made me cry. I think this movie has a lot to tell kids and even adults. It doesn't matter who you are where you come from who your attracted to or anything for that matter. As long as you like who you are that's the only thing that matters and I know some people can't do that and that's fine you'll get there eventually. That's what Ralph learns in the end there's nothing that he can do about being a bad guy and he has to learn to work with what he has. All in all I think this is a great movie not just because of the great characters, but also because of the message behind it all. Oh and the power of friendship. That's important :)
