It’s More Than Just Princess Jokes In Ralph Breaks The Internet

Thank you to Disney Studios for hosting me during the Ralph Breaks The Internet Event!

Heading to the movies this holiday weekend to catch Ralph Breaks The Internet? Here are five things to know before you hit the theater!

Will you be lost if you haven’t seen Wreck-It Ralph?

Nope. But also: see Wreck-It Ralph first. There are a bunch-and I mean a bunch-of references to the first movie. Actually, there are a bunch of references to pretty much every Disney movie. And everything on the internet for that matter. You won’t be totally lost if you haven’t see Wreck-It Ralph, but you will enjoy Ralph Breaks The Internet more if you have.

Should you spring for 3D?

Meh. If you follow my “five things” posts you’ll know that I’m generally not a fan of 3D. I think most movies look crisper and more beautiful without a pair of plastic glasses on my face. Occasionally there is a film that was just made for 3D and it’s worthwhile. This film does have a few scenes that would probably look pretty cool in 3D, but your time and money are better spent looking at the Easter Egg-apalooza that is this film in regular ol’ 2D.

Is there more to that princess scene?

I had a feeling that the trailer pretty much spoiled the princesses’ involvement in the film. I was wrong. (Yep, it happens rarely, but it does happen.)

The princesses are probably my favorite part of the whole film, so I was pleasantly surprised that they had more screen time than I expected. I’m an unashamed Princess fan, but I know that’s not the case for everyone. If you’re heading to the theater with someone who’s more of an “ugh, princesses” type, rest assured the princesses don’t overwhelm the movie. There are car races and Stormtroopers and twin brothers embedded in necks to balance it all out.

Should you stay through the credits?

Yep. Totally. The whole way through. (And the credits are loooooong…4.235 million people worked on this film)

There’s a mid-credit and end-credit stinger that make staying put totally worthwhile. Trust me.

Is it appropriate for the whole family?

I’m generally the worst person to ask these kinds of questions because I would take a toddler to Texas Chainsaw Massacre if they really wanted to see it. (OK, not really. They’d have to be at least six.) Ralph Breaks The Internet is rated PG and it’s clocking in at just shy of two hours long. The movie has a lot of “friendly” name-calling, but nothing I would consider bad language. There’s also an in-movie game called Slaughter Race that’s a riff on Grand Theft Auto and it might be a little intense for the very young. As long as your kid can stay awake for two hours and you’re not going to be upset if they lovingly call you Stinkbrain, take them to the theater without worry.

“Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2” leaves Litwak’s video arcade behind, venturing into the uncharted, expansive and thrilling world of the internet—which may or may not survive Ralph’s wrecking. Video game bad guy Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) and fellow misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman) must risk it all by traveling to the world wide web in search of a replacement part to save Vanellope’s video game, Sugar Rush. In way over their heads, Ralph and Vanellope rely on the citizens of the internet—the netizens—to help navigate their way, including a website entrepreneur named Yesss (voice of Taraji P. Henson), who is the head algorithm and the heart and soul of trend-making site “BuzzzTube.” Directed by Rich Moore (“Zootopia,” “Wreck-It Ralph”) and Phil Johnston (co-writer “Wreck-It Ralph,” “Cedar Rapids,” co-writer “Zootopia,”), and produced by Clark Spencer (“Zootopia,” “Wreck-It Ralph,” “Bolt”), “Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-Ralph 2” is in theaters now!
