What a film! Awesome!

I actually started watching Wreck It Ralph in a cinema party two years ago, after being pressed by everal then friends. As I didn't use to be a fan of that kind of movies, I was quite skeptical and even openly against it. We did not finished the film and had to go more or less at the half. What I saw was interesting, but nothing away from what I thought of it.

But then, only months ago, I had the chance to see the movie full. And I was open-mouthed beyond any understanding. I was open-mouthed because I had recently watched tons of films, among them works of much greater level, and none of them had managed to move me the way Wreck It Ralph did. As I said, I am not a fan of Disney animated films, but in this case, I was totally into it. Its plot was not very original, its classic videogame theme was not an unexploited thing in modern media neither, and it did not have a passport to NFR, but there was something in the movie which made it impressingly, emotionally powerful even for a embittered critic like Mr. Cieloazul. It is probably not the kind of thing I can express with words - but it is there, and it makes the film just shine with its own light.

Let me pull some cheesy lines, lines which will come from a guy who didn't like Western animated films and who found CLANNAD unemotive. When Ralph started destroying his and Vanellope's car, I felt my heart being destroyed as well, but when I saw the last fifteen minutes of the film, I was pumping my fist to the heavens. This could not be a masterpiece, but it is made of what masterpieces are made, and that is enough for me.

Also: after seeing them I have to agree with all the people who say that Brave stole the Academy Award from Wreck It Ralph, because it is the damn truth.

Credit goes as well to the Spanish dubbing team for doing a wonderful work with this film, especially Sandra Jara (Vanellope), who throws herself into the role with a charisma which I have never seen in an animated film - to the point that I have thought of nominate her as the Actress of the Year in the Cieloazul Awards even if she is not exactly an actress, and she will probably win if I don't watch a more awesome peformance this year, which is difficult.

If you are reading this and have not watched Wreck It Ralph, stop reading my babble and go to watch it.
