“Two best friends do not have to have the same dream.”

Wreck-It Ralph (John C. Reilly) and Vanellope (Sarah Silverman) return with a new adventure as they try to solve a very difficult problem: Vanellope’s Game: Sugar Rush.

The steering wheel on it gets broken and the players can’t play it so the game shuts down. Ralph feels responsible because he wanted to make the game more interesting for his friend, and when the owner activates the new internet, our heroes leave the comfort of the arcade to find the internet to find eBay. 

The characters make their way to the internet in order to buy the part. What they think is easy enough. They make it to the internet and find eBay and bid on the part they need, but they have no money to pay for it. They find a friend called “Yesss (Taraji P. Henson) who helps Ralph make a bunch of internet videos to earn enough money for the part. Vanellope discovers a new more hostile racing game called “Slaughter Race” and runs into a real cool female racer Shank (Gal Gadot). Vanellope wants to stay there while Ralph becomes a trendy video star through a new character named “Yesss.” Ralph has to face that he may lose Vanellope forever. Worse yet, he unleashes a virus in the Racing game to slow the cars down, and it affects the rest of the internet.  The virus finds the weaknesses in the characters and corrupts them. This is unleashed on the rest of the internet so now there are Zombie Ralphs wandering around. Can the real Ralph save the internet before it’s truly broken forever? 

Disney movies are fun for kids. Adults will enjoy the internet jokes. It’s interesting how that the video game characters are self-aware and know they are video game characters. The best part of this movie are the cameos and appearances by several Disney characters. Practically every Disney princesses including Moana and Ariel and other characters such as stormtroopers from Star Wars and plenty of Marvel characters appear. This also includes a cameo by the late Stan Lee. 

“Ralph Breaks the Internet” is a fun story about friendship and understanding that most animated films like the tackle, but the visual part of this movie is a lot of fun. It’s wonderful to see on the big screen it’s nice to see these Ralph and Vanellope again, but I would have liked to have seen more with the other video game characters such as Fix it Felix (Jack McBrayer) and his wife, (Jane Lynch) Calhoun some of the old characters from the other movie as well a little more. Everybody can see this movie and make it a part of your holiday movie going experience. Go see it.
