<sup>Our Thoughts: This is another great family film by Disney! I love when the whole family can sit down to a movie and enjoy it without the adults feeling like it is just a kids film. This movie included arcade games that my husband and I played when we were kids. There were funny jokes that both adults and kids could enjoy. It was a very funny movie!

The movie starts off with Ralph not wanting to be a bad guy anymore (he is at a Bad Guy anonymous meeting with other game bad guys! haha) Ralph wants to win a medal and feel accepted by his game peers instead of being lonely and feeling like an outcast. How is Ralph going to do this? Well of course jump into another game (Hero Duty) and win a medal! Ralph never believes he will end up in Sugar Rush and help Vanellope regain her game back from a nasty game guy from the past. It is a great adventure.

This is definatley a gamers movie but even non-gamers can enjoy it. My daughter isn't huge into video games but she loved the movie as much as my video gaming son. Both of the kids came away from the movie with different likes and both got the message about the bullies in the movie and being nice to each other. They both felt sad for Ralph and Vanellope as they are the outcasts in their own games. They loved that Fix-it Felix and the Hero Duty lady (can't think of her name) fell in love and got married. 

The bonus features were a lot of fun to watch with deleted scenes and added bonuses, shorts. The kids have watched them over and over again. The arcade commercials made for each game was also a great idea. I really enjoyed watching the bonus features with the kids as once the movie is over you still have other ways to see the characters you love in the movie and learn more about them and the movie. 

I actually really wish we had the equipment to watch the 3D disc. Maybe someday soon! I think this would be a great movie in 3D. Disney has come out with another great movie that I am sure will be a classic in our house. The kids watched it 3 times over the weekend and my husband also really enjoyed it. 

My daughter walked around for about a week telling everyone a joke "why did the hero flush the toilet?" "because it was his DUTY!" Then she would break into hysterical laughter!   

A great 5 star movie!</sup>
