Wreck It Ralph
Thursday, Jan. 30 — 7:30 p.m.
When kids go into Litwak’s Arcade, they play the ever popular Fix-It Felix game, in which a villain named Wreck-It Ralph destroys a building, yet Fix-It Felix is always around to save the day. However, when the arcade closes, the characters come to life and have dreams of their own. Ralph (played by John C. Reilly) is tired of being the villain and aspires to be a hero. In order to prove to himself that he is more than just the overlooked bad guy, Ralph decides to journey into the arcade universe in order to search for the perfect game where he can finally save the day. Ralph may seem like a ruthless and gargantuan villain, but Reilly gives him an affectionate and sensitive side that makes it easy for the audience to root for him. Wreck-It Ralph brings the classic Disney element of wonder and brings new twists and laughs as viewers live in the arcade games rather than just play them.
