Documentaries appear to give predictable suggestions to the DVD community group that cinematic quality and video quality are not commonly exclusive. King of Kong fills in as a shocking case of that standard. Shot for as little as possible using a low-spending DV, the video nature of his generally massively engaging documentary isn't probably going to inspire. Colors a fairly inconsistent balance – especially in the some of the exterior sequences and are generally washed-out. Digitization and grain additionally demonstrate problems all through the runtime.

And while both Carle and Gibson significantly up the nerd-cred of the film's DVD, the most engaging portions of their commentary – which often feels pressured toward the next bit of silliness or sarcasm – ultimately can be found in the quieter moments. Say what you will about the level of caricature applied to some of the individuals featured throughout the film, but Gibson and Carle both understand the place from which those people ultimately originate.

Wreck-It Ralph tells the story of the title character, the bad guy in a classic arcade game, Fix-It Felix Junior. In the game, Ralph uses his enormous fists to wreck things and Felix uses his magic hammer to fix them up again. At the end of the game, Felix wins a medal and enjoys the company of the townsfolk while Ralph goes home, alone, to the dump after getting tossed off a building. After thirty years of being the bad guy, but not a bad guy, Ralph decides he’s had enough. He crashes the game’s anniversary party and is told, flippantly, that if he won a medal the town would let him live in the penthouse. Taking the challenge seriously, Ralph visits a neighboring first person shooter game, Hero’s Duty, in order to win a medal. Everything seems to go according to plan until Ralph ends up evacuating the game in a spacecraft infected with an evil cybug, crash landing in Sugar Rush, a racing game that looks like the love child of Candy Land and Mario Kart . While there, his medal is stolen by Vanellope (Sarah Silverman), a “glitch” longing for her chance to race. The two eventually form an unlikely friendship as Ralph helps her get her chance on the track and she pledges
