Wreck It Ralph

[Commode]

I kind of wonder if the Oreo gag was inspired by a similar gag in Rosebud.  Jim Reardon was still on the staff at the time of the episode's production.

Also got a kick out of the two donut cops being named Duncan(Dunkin') and Winchell.

Paperman might have been one of Disney's best shorts. Too bad the kids didn't seem to like it all that much from what I heard.

My friend and I said this exact same thing in the theater. Rich Moore AND Jim Reardon working on it can't have been a coincidence.

Did anyone notice that Skrillex was in the Fix-It Felix party?

That was one of the few things that bugged me in the movie.

Just came back from it as well. I loved it. I think my only complaint was what Spark said in that Ralph and Felix should have had some more interactions and some parts were predicatble for me, but I come to expect that to come with age. Though I did like the bond between  Vanellope and Ralph and that was what the film had going for it. This film did hit me right in the feels at certain points, mostly with Vanellope wanting to be a racer and Ralph wanting to be the good guy. Calhoun was a hoot as well. Sure she was a like a typical general you expect from FPS games that take themselves seriously, but I still couldn't help but love her character. I kind of want to see if there's an action figure of her. I know there's one of Ralph, Felix and Vanellope and I probably plan to buy them later in the week.

As for Paperman, it had it's nice charm. I loved the visuals in it the most of all and liked how the story was told by actions, rather than words. Felt a little artsy and since I went to like a 10 PM showing and most of the people in the theater looked like they can drive a car I wouldn't know how kids reacted to that. If this doesn't make the Oscar nom for animated short.... I don't know what to believe in anymore.

Seriously with this film, Disney's Animation studio did 2 things better than Pixar this year, the main movie and the short and I LOVED La Luna when I went to see Brave during the summer. In fact I still stand by La Luna being more entertaining that Brave, considering I remembered more about Luna than Brave.

P.S.

DAMN YOU AKB48 FOR SINGING SUGAR RUSH! THAT SONG IS NOW STUCK IN MY HEAD DESPITE NOT KNOWING JAPANESE!

I guess a Sonic cabinet even made it into the movie.  Shows what I know, I didn't know there was Sonic arcade games.

[Foggle]

There's a Japan-only one that uses a trackball (like Marble Madness).

[Spark Of Spirit]

That cabinet is Sonic The Fighters.

This is SegaSonic.

[Lord Dalek]

Yeah there are like five or six Sonic arcade games but the bulk of them are Japan only and most of them are actually like kiddie horse rides.

What did you guys think of Sarah Silverman? She usually annoys me easily, but I think she pulled off the childish energy of Vanellope very well. At the same time, some of my least favorite bits came from her.

You know which ones I'm talking about.

[Spark Of Spirit]

She wasn't annoying to me (her voice, anyway), which considering this is Sarah Silverman is a feat in and of itself.

[Daxdiv]

I like her here as Vallenope. She actually felt like an energetic kid, which kind of surprised me since I'm used to her being an adult in everything she's been in. I'm pretty indifferent to Silverman in general but I liked her in this film more than anything else. I mean sure I could imagine another voice for Vallenope, but I think this is probably Silverman's best role yet.

[Avaitor]

Have you guys played Fix-It Felix Jr. yet? Disney's site has the game, so you don't need to find an arcade cabinet.

It's insanely fun. I've already played it a few times.

[Commode]

Yep, have it on my phone.  I think it's free on iTunes App Store.

[Avaitor]

I have to call bs on this one. There's no way that rip-off company would actually be THIS blatant and THIS hideous.

[Spark Of Spirit]

This one HAS to be in lawsuit territory. Come on, it's the same everything!
