|Ralph, a villain from a retro, 1980s-esque video game who wants to escape after being typecast for about 30 years as the poor and medal-less guy, is encouraged to use his equal opportunities to do better and pursue his own successes. This is the basis of the American Dream: the goal of overcoming one's present, lowly circumstances to achieve a state of greatness. Trying to achieving this goal by theft is shown as the wrong way to do so. In addition, the main antagonist is a competition-hating villain who has deceitfully hidden his true identity and origin, who has pushed liberal values in the video game where he rules and established what looks like a fixed economy because only he can win. The film also pushes anti-illegal immigrant messages as well, with the main villain and minor villains trying to take over other worlds. | |Ralph, a villain from a retro, 1980s-esque video game who wants to escape after being typecast for about 30 years as the poor and medal-less guy, is encouraged to use his equal opportunities to do better and pursue his own successes.
