Wreck-It Ralph is a 2012 American computer-animated family-comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the 52nd animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series.
Watching this movie is such a trip! Nostalgia began to kick in upon seeing the characters in Atari resolution. From its opening scene in ‘Bad Anon’ - a support group for digi-villains such as Bowser, M Bison, and Doctor Robotnik to its Game Central Station setting (a city populated by hundreds of classic characters travelling from game to game), this is a world created with the sort of love, precision and cheeky referencing that, especially if you’ve ever been a gamer like myself, you’ll never want to leave.
But underneath the its facade , there is such depth that struck me about the movie, the characters, and the role they play. Ralph has been unhappy all these years because he wanted to become someone else. He is governed by envy and frustration - all because he could not accept the fact he is a bad guy and that being a bad guy serves a function to the big picture. It was not until he met The Glitch where his journey began by teaching one another some valuable lessons in life and their destination end up at themselves with a full realisation that self-acceptance is key to happiness. We must learn to accept who we are, what we can be, and what we cannot. Once we that's done, everything else will come forth and follow through.
What lesson did you learn from the movie?
