The sequel finds Ralph, and his best friend Vanellope living a charmed but otherwise stagnant life after the events of the first movie. So, when I gave "Ralph Breaks the Internet" a watch recently, I was pleasantly surprised to find it contained all the consistent world-building, charming characters, and genuine heart of the original. "Look, we have Twitter references! Snapchat! Oh, and Star Wars and Disney princesses!" While I'm sure this strategy successfully got the butts of a lot of kids in theaters, it kept the butt of this cynical-but-otherwise-Disney-loving adult, firmly out. The marketing for this movie, which focused heavily on its new internet elements gave me more "Emoji Movie" vibes than classic Disney. I was resistant to watching it during its theatrical run, despite being a big fan of its predecessor and knowing the pedigree of Walt Disney Animation. "Ralph Breaks the Internet" truly surprised me. Vanellope: No! Are you guys okay? Should I call the police? Pocahontas: What kind of a princess are you? It'd be embarrassing for you if you haven't.
Sugar Rush von Schweetzes? I'm sure you've heard of us. Vanellope: Yeah! Princess Vanellope von Schweetz of the, uh. Vanellope: Whoa, whoa, ladies, I can explain! See, um.
