In the tradition of "Toy Story," "Wreck-It Ralph" imagines the secret lives of children's playthings, only here, it's videogame characters who come to life after an arcade closes its doors. Tired of being bad, a Donkey Kong-style demolition expert quits his destructive day job to become a hero, inadvertently wreaking havoc as he travels from game to game in search of redemption. With plenty to appeal to boys and girls, old and young, Walt Disney Animation Studios has a high-scoring hit on its hands in this brilliantly conceived, gorgeously executed toon, earning bonus points for backing nostalgia with genuine emotion.

From Maleficent to Scar, as long as there have been Disney animated movies, the villains have stood out as their most memorable characters. Flipping that dynamic, a la "Wicked," the story team behind "Wreck-It Ralph" -- director Rich Moore and scribes Phil Johnston ("Cedar Rapids") and Jennifer Lee -- decided to position a classic 8-bit baddie as the center of their affectionate homage to the world of videogames. The fun begins at a "Bad-Anon" sharing session, where various villains have gathered -- in Pac-Man's ghost home, of course -- to commiserate about their sorry lot in life.Unlike humans, these hard-coded characters don't enjoy the benefits of free will. Instead, they have been programmed to be aggressive -- and ultimately beaten by the heroes in their respective games. For Ralph (John C. Reilly, a naturally comedic star with a voice ripe for animation), that means being thrown in the mud and having to sleep in the junkyard every night while Fix It Felix Jr. ("30 Rock's" ultra-peppy Jack McBrayer) parties with the Nicelanders. Lucky for Ralph, he can hop the train to Grand Game Central, a giant surge-protector terminal where digital creations are free to mingle after dark, offering licensed cameos from Q*bert, Sonic the Hedgehog and Tapper for the benefit of those old enough to remember them. But Ralph mustn't forget the key rule: "If you die outside your own game, you don't regenerate, ever."
