( EW.com ) -- Nostalgia has been digitized . In `` Wreck-It Ralph 's '' byte-size universe of arcade games , a pixelated panoply of characters ( both copyrighted and made-up ) commingle each day after the final quarter has been dropped . But for Ralph , the bulldozer-handed villain of the 1980s arcade relic Fix-It Felix Jr. , life is n't all power-ups and extra lives . An 8-bit brute with a heart of gold , Ralph ( voiced with hangdog perfection by John C. Reilly ) escapes his game on a quest to prove to the world that there 's more to him than just being bad . As the well-meaning Fix-It Felix Jr. ( Jack McBrayer ) and a rough-and-tumble space soldier ( Jane Lynch ) pursue him , Ralph ends up in `` Sugar Rush , '' a racing game set in a confectionary wonderland of cotton-candy clouds , peppermint forests , and innumerable dessert puns of varying tastiness . 'Survivor ' recap : Malcolm 's Dirty Laundry . There , he encounters a young racer named Vanellope ( Sarah Silverman ) whose glitchy nature invites the ire of the crazed Ed Wynn soundalike King Candy ( Alan Tudyk ) . Mark Hamill weighs in on the future of 'Star Wars ' The story itself risks getting overly sweet at this point , but miraculously it never melts into a syrupy wash . There are more videogame cameos and winks than you can shake a Wiimote at â€ ” even the Konami Code , the gamer 's paternoster , makes an appearance â€ ” but the real success of the film is its emotional core and the relationship between the two misfits . It does n't quite carry the heft of `` Toy Story , '' but there 's a lot of heart packed into these zeroes and ones . B+ . See the original article at EW.com .
