Synopsis

In “Ralph Breaks the Internet,” video-game bad guy Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) and best friend Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman) leave the comforts of Litwak’s arcade in an attempt to save her game, Sugar Rush. Their quest takes them to the vast, uncharted world of the internet where they rely on the citizens of the internet—the Netizens—to help navigate their way. Lending a virtual hand are Yesss (voice of Taraji P. Henson), the head algorithm and the heart and soul of the trend-making site “BuzzzTube,” and Shank (voice of Gal Gadot), a tough-as-nails driver from a gritty online auto-racing game called Slaughter Race, a place Vanellope wholeheartedly embraces—so much so that Ralph worries he may lose the only friend he’s ever had. Directed by Rich Moore (“Zootopia,” “Wreck-It Ralph”) and Phil Johnston (co-writer “Wreck-It Ralph,” “Zootopia,” writer, “Cedar Rapids”), and produced by Clark Spencer (“Zootopia,” “Wreck-It Ralph,” “Bolt,” “Lilo & Stitch”), “Ralph Breaks the Internet” hits theaters on Nov. 22, 2018.

The heart of Disney's Ralph Breaks the Internet is really the emotional journey for both Ralph and Vanellope as they grow throughout the film.

Disney's Ralph Breaks the Internet takes us on a journey into the good and bad sides of the internet. In this sequel, Ralph (John C. Reilly) and Vanellope (Sarah Silverman) enter the world wide web to search for a remote control that will save Vanellope’s game from being shut down.

The film is a visual feast as it recreates physical buildings of websites/ applications that we are familiar with - eBay, Snapchat, Amazon, Google and the likes. The animations and bright lights of the film are useful in helping young audiences visualize the world wide web - how massive and interconnected it is.

Ralph gains fame when he becomes a BuzzTube star to raise funds for Vanellope. His experience on the internet uncannily mirrors our own in this age where anyone can become a Youtube star. His journey becomes a cautionary tale to warn us how subtle the internet has become in shaping our lives and its influence over us.

The movie is not a smooth sailing one - Ralph and Vanellope’s friendship is tested when Vanellope has her Disney princess moment (heavily teased by Disney). She realizes what she really wants when she chances upon Shank (Gal Gadot’s) unpredictable, thrilling and deathly car racing game - vastly different from her own Sugar Rush which has become boring and predictable to her. Ralph is also made to confront his insecurities when Shank becomes a potential threat to their friendship.

The movie is full of surprise cameos, which is a nice surprise for all Disney fans. The scene with the Disney Princesses subverts Disney’s previous narrative that princesses all need a good, strong man to save them, reflecting Disney’s content keeping up with contemporary issues.

The movie makes a few good jokes about the internet and how annoying some pop-up virus/advertisements can be; but the heart of it is really the emotional journey for both Ralph and Vanellope as they grow throughout the film - realizing who they are and what they want. It is definitely a family friendly film.

As with almost every Disney film, this one has two end credit scenes which are definitely worth waiting for!
