Ralph Breaks the Internet is a 3D animated comedy and the sequel to 2012's Wreck-It Ralph as well as the 57th Disney feature film. The movie is produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Walt Disney Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It's written by Phil Johnson and Pamela Ribon and directed by Rich Moore and Phil Johnson.
The story is it's been six years after the events of the first film. One day at the arcade the steering wheel to Sugar Rush breaks. In doing so Mr. Litwak is forced to unplug the game. With no home the residents of Sugar Rush have to find a new place to live. Ralph and Vanellope set off on an adventure to find a new steering wheel by going into the internet. During this adventure Ralph and Vanellope meet a lot of interesting characters.
Initial Reaction
Now along with everyone else I was really excited for this movie. Mainly because I loved the first movie so much. The movie definitely had me hyped what with the trailers. But at the same I was worried because well when you go on their official Twitter account they have this very cringey thing called Ways to Break the Internet. And it made me think we could have a repeat of The Emoji Movie. But I remained hopeful because I severely doubt Disney would let that happen even if you take in account those terrible direct-to-dvd sequels.
Cons
The one and only thing I didn't like about Ralph Breaks the Internet is the post-credit scene. It basically sets up a teaser for a very much anticipated Disney sequel only for it to be a joke regrading a very much outdated meme. I'm talking before the word "meme" was even a thing.
Middle Ground
I've got nothing to say. Let's move on.
Pros
One aspect of the film I was thankful for was it didn't feel like a whole product placement for the internet. Now yes there was a couple of instances like that, but it was so short and sweet you won't even care. Hell most of the time when Ralph and Vanellope went to a website it was just for a punchline nothing else. Speaking of punchlines this movie had me laughing. I'm not going to give away any jokes because this is a spoiler free review but my favorite funny moment was a musical number that was just brilliant. Now I won't harper too much on the animation mainly because I feel like I'll just repeating what I said in my Wreck-It Ralph. So all I'll quickly say is yes the animation is wonderful especially the world built around the internet. The other thing to enjoy is the message about not letting your insecurities get to you. It was a heartfelt message and one I feel like people might connect to. Another thing to praise Ralph Breaks the Internet for is it's bittersweet ending. Once again I won't give it away. I like it because it wasn't the big predictable happy ending I was expecting. My final positive credit for the movie is the mid-credit scene. It was hilarious and definitely worth waiting for, even if you did see it in one of the trailers.
Ralph Breaks the Internet is thankful nothing like 2017's The Emoji Movie. The internet plot isn't one big piece of product placement, the humor is great, the animation is top notch, the moral about insecurities was handled nicely, the bittersweet ending really helped the movie stay away from being predictable, and the mid-credit scene gets two thumbs up. My only issue was the post-credit scene. It really should have taken a page out of Venom and just promote the company's next flick. Sure I still would have felt like it was a commercial but it wouldn't have been better than an outdated joke.
My final rating is Great
Well that's going to do it the month of November. Come back next time in December for the Christmas season.
