Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018)


Ralph Breaks the Internet is the sequel to Wreck-It Ralph.  It logically takes the story to the next destination, and that is the internet.  The arcade that Ralph and Vanellope reside in finally connected to the internet and as a result, the duo can explore the world wide web.  Naturally, they don't understand anything about the internet and makes a few blunders.  The film does a great job at personifying the various things that happen on the internet, from search engines to pop ups to real people browsing sites.  The first film was already impressive in how it managed to make surprising cameos from several game characters but it tops it here.  Not only do we get iconic game characters, but there are surprising appearances from many other Disney related franchises, and they form some of the best scenes in the film.  The plot is somewhat predictable, as it focuses on the friendship bond between Ralph and Vanellope.  Although you would have expected that they know each other very well given the events of the first film and the fact that this sequel takes place six years later.  Anyway, that arc is nothing special, it's just everything else that happens surrounding it that makes the film fun to watch.
