Wreck-It Ralph catered to children with the well-thought-out character dialogue we have come to expect from Walt Disney. The involvement of classic video game characters helped to interest older adolescent and adult age groups as well. Needless to say, I was excited for this sequel; and, not only to hopefully get more of the same; but, also to see how Disney would introduce the Wreck-It Ralph storyline to the internet-centric reality of today. In my opinion, it did so quite seamlessly.
In this sequel, we see Vanellope (voiced by Sarah Silverman) grow tired of the predictable video game loop in “Sugar Rush” that she has come to master and, simply, grow tired of. Ralph (voiced by John C. Reilly), on the other hand, finds complete solace and happiness in a daily routine that finds him chugging root beers with Vanellope at the tap house every night. But, he decides to use his brute strength to introduce a new road in Sugar Rush that might reinvigorate Vanellope's love for the game and at the same time prove how much Ralph cares for her. When things go slightly awry in the “real world” as a result of Vanellope's excitement over the track changes, Ralph rather clumsily decides that he must venture into the “internet world” to fix this new issue he has created, albeit with altruistic intentions. Always thirsty for something new, Vanellope decides to join him; and, the loveable duo make their way through a new age existence that takes them on just the type of adventure Vanellope yearns for. However, the ramifications of their new exploration are far greater than Ralph ever imagined.
Once again littered with appearances by classic characters and new ones alike, voiced by another stellar cast, Ralph Breaks the Internet brings the franchise to the modern age with a number of memorable moments along the way, including a princess scene that was unquestionably my favorite of them all. The film is just under 2 hours but remains an easy watch that is nevertheless littered with life lessons for all ages, earning it 4 of 5 reps from me. Whether you take the kids to see this with you or you don’t, this is a sequel that everyone should watch at some point, preferably sooner rather than later.
