Not that the film isn't delightful it assuredly is that. In the meantime, though, we're going to shoot for a nice, short, normal-sized review, because to be perfectly honest, Wreck-It Ralph isn't living in my memory quite boldly enough to feel like I can do much more certainly, of the two films that Disney has seen fit to pair together, there's more visual ingenuity and emotional resonance in the seven minutes of Paperman than in the whole feature that follows it, at least to these eyes - the uncommon number of 'best animated film of the year!' reviews that have latched onto Wreck-It Ralph is quite undeniable, even as it's also sort of inexplicable. The regular readers in the crowd know that I ordinarily spend a disastrously large number of words reviewing films in the Disney animated features canon, of which the new Wreck-It Ralph is the 52nd and I will perhaps do that some day for this movie, after I have a chance to live with it for a while.
