“Let’s get to work, buddy.”

From Ralph Breaks the Internet.

For the past six years, Ralph (John C. Reilly) and his now best friend Vanellope (Sarah Silverman) have been enjoying the fun routine that their friendship has become.  Both spend their days happily working in their arcade games, but when a surprise from Ralph leads to Vanellope’s no-longer-being-manufactured game breaking down, the entire arcade is thrown into chaos; the racers and other characters are taken in by other game characters, such as Felix (Jack McBrayer) and Calhoun (Jane Lynch), but now that the game has been unplugged time is quickly running out.  Ralph and Vanellope hear about a replacement part that’s available on a mysterious place called the Internet, so the friends head online to search for the part.  Upon their arrival, they are greeted by an amazing world beyond their wildest dreams filled with major sites, pop-up ads, and massive online games.  After some overzealous bidding at eBay, they secure the part, but now Ralph and Vanellope must find a way to pay for it.  Vanellope discovers an adrenaline-fueled racing game lead by Shank (Gal Gadot), but Ralph tries to keep pull away from the dangerous game and toward his surprising success on BuzzTube with the help of the lead algorithm, Yesss (Taraji P. Henson).  As time runs out on their bid, their friendship is tested and they both fall deeper into the Internet.

While marketed as a movie for kids, this sequel is definitely not one that adults should rule out.  The humor is clean, but constant from beginning to end; it will also appeal to a wide audiences from fans of the original movie to anyone with a technology background to fans of older Disney movies.  One of the most enjoyable aspects are the scenes involving the Disney Princesses; voiced by the original actresses and brimming with humor and sarcasm.  The story is unique and layered, much like the Internet.  There are some scary character scenes, but Ralph Breaks the Internet manages to keep it from going too far for younger viewers.
