Just came back. f***ing awesome film. My front runner for Best Animated Picture. Also, Paperman, the animated short that aired before it, is my front runner for Best Animated Short. Seriously, the animation in it is f***ing amazing. But yeah, I just loved the hell out of this film. Agreed with pretty much all of this. Fun movie, I caught the majority of the references, Sarah Silverman didn't annoy me, and I loved the various animation styles.

I also really like how this film explained the player character(s) in the first person light gun games. That was some clever thinking right there.

Part of me thinks this is Disney 'atoning' for the 'mistake' they made with TRON, where they took subject matter that would only have appealed to kids at the time, but aiming it at an adult level. Here, the delivery was very much in tone with the subject matter. And yeah, I'll say it -- god knows this movie was far more fitting as a sequel than Tron: Legacy was.
And Sarah Silverman's character warmed my heart.

One thing I don't think they explained...well, two actually: 1)How did Turbo get out from the "Broken" games into SugarRush 2)How was he able to disguise himself as King Candy?

1) they never expressly said he was in the game at the time it was unplugged 2) probably just changed the coding in the game with that super secret code he had

I totally refuse to give money to anything Sarah Silverman is involved in, so I'll wait till it reaches movie channel TV.
EDIT: Plus, I was never that interested in it, cause I found the cameo characters more interesting that the main ones, aside from Ralph.

Saw it this afternoon, and loved every second of it.
Almost everything about this film was pitch perfect: the story, the characters, the pacing, the animation, the music.
The only real nit pick was that almost all of the jokes were burned out from all of the adverts and trailers, but other then that it was a good ride.

Good.....Not like "She's passable and not in the movie much". Disney Made Sarah Silverman .....Smurfing HEARTWARMING.

Great film and on par with Pixar movies (John Lasseter is the best thing to happen to Disney in a while). The only advert/branding in the film I didn't particularly like was the Subway one. While the others were made into clever jokes and/or meant something to the story, it means as little as the 'Cars 2' billboard in The Muppets

Everyone that refuses to see this film because of Sarah Silverman, well, see the film anyways! She gives a generally good performance! Hell, she gives one of the best performances in the entire film!

It was good. On par with Pixar's low-to-middle ranked movies I'd say.

To me, the only blatantly out-of-place product placement that took me right out of the movie was the Subway cup. The comparison someone made above to the Cars billboard in the Muppets were spot-on. The others (Nes-quicksand) weren't that bad.

I didn't even notice this much talked about Subway cup. I didn't notice the Subway cup until my friend mentioned it to me after the movie. Hell, this whole 'outrage' about the product placement is weird because it didn't really bother me that much. As others have said, there was a context and believability to it because it all related to the story (besides the cup). Maybe I remember Josie and the Pussycats where advertising was there for a) the sake of it and b) for the sake of a hypocritical message that makes zero sense.

Is it true that there are DDR and Guitar Hero references?

Is it true that there are DDR and Guitar Hero references? Not sure about Guitar Hero, but there is a very clear DDR reference at the beginning of the film. In fact the demo mode dancer on a DDR X2 machine was the lookout for when the arcade closed for the night.

Having had time to think about it, I will say the one real complaint I had about the movie was that they spent so much more time in the Sugar Rush game than anywhere else, which at times made it feel like I was watching a Candy Land movie instead of a video game movie.
And also, the most important question in the movie went unanswered: Did Mario ever make it to the party?
