YES.

If you grew up in the 70's and 80's it is almost a tribute to those days.

There are a lot of references that a lot of people miss.

The big one is King Candy who is really a tribute to Ed Wynn, who was Disney's the Mad Hatter.

Totally. I loved video games when I grew up! This movie/film made me young again. Ha!

I'm 30 and I rated this 9/10. It's simply that good.

You'll find that Wreck-It Ralph rates pretty highly with adults, for a variety of reasons.

The old-school video game characters are a treat to those of us who grew up on games like those.

Ralph is, taking the video game aspect out of the story, a guy who has been working the same job for 30 years and feels extremely underappreciated for his efforts. Any adult working a dead-end job can relate to that.

For the kids, though, it's basically a fun buddy movie. A big wrecking guy and a little girl grow an odd friendship.

Never hate your enemies. It affects your judgment. -Michael Corleone
