Personally I've been bypassing the EZBake conundrum by showing Daniel how to use the real oven, which is much more fun :). I loved the movie as well, and I think you've put your finger on the essence of Turbo's problem. He can't (and doesn't want to) break character, and in the end he has no character at all except for the one originally assigned to him. I get the feeling Sugar Rush was a much better game after he was kicked out, since you know he would have insisted on winning 99% of the races anyway :). And I thought Felix and Calhoun were hilarious, and their getting together was a joke on the "Pair the spares" trope in much the same way that her tragic backstory was a joke on the "Tough Woman Has Traumatic Background" trope. I didn't really see where Felix resembled her tragically dead fiance, though -- inasmuch as we know anything about the guy except that he apparently only knew one phrase :). And Felix was awesome -- a nice, dorky, goodhearted guy whose main fault is lack of imagination. He doesn't put himself out to wonder how Ralph feels about all of this because, well, why should he? This is how it was programmed, and it's not like he's really nasty to Ralph himself (that's Gene, of course Gene is the one Ralph throws off the building at the beginning of every round, so there are probably deeper issues there). He just doesn't think about him or his potential problems that much -- a fault I'm sure we've all succumbed to.

Since you compared it to a Pixar movie, you'll be amused to hear that the Seattle Times front page banner on the day it was released called it "Pixar's Wreck-It Ralph" (one of A's officemates took a photo and put up another one from a few years ago advertising "Pixar's Bolt"). Apparently a joke in circulation is that this year Disney and Pixar traded places; Pixar released the princess movie and Disney did the "Life From The Perspective Of A [Blank]", in this case, a video game character :).
