Well, her story becomes the more important focus of the actual plot, but I don't feel like it focuses more about her feelings than it does Ralph's. They never abandon Ralph's side of the plot, but it becomes intermingled with Vanellope's and a bit overshadowed by it. Ralph actually has a character arc, which Vanellope doesn't, exactly.

I also felt like I was really going to hate Vanellope coming into the movie, but I didn't. I don't like Sarah Silverman, I don't like obnoxious kid characters, but I ended up really liking Vanellope. She feels like an actual little girl with real emotions, and I really understood and empathized what she felt like. I didn't ever feel like we were seeing an adult reaction or an adult's version of a child's reaction, but a little girl's. It makes some mistakes with characterization and the plot, but very few.

What really struck me about the movie was that I had all sorts of expectations about how they'd end up portraying certain characters, what sort of stupid cliches and archetypes they'd go with, but they never did. The characters were consistent and likable and genuine.
