Considering that Rich Moore left Disney after wrapping up this movie citing a desire for more creative freedom, I'm under the impression that the Disney higher-ups micromanaged the hell out of this movie.
Not surprised, the higher ups seem to forget they have an insanely successful company because of creativity of their talent and micromanaging to the point where they leave the company is a great way to piss audiences off
😢That is terrible! Disney should stop micromanaging creativity out of people just to deliver political agendas on whatever, because that does not sell as well to the audience who hates seeing what they liked previously with everything they liked about it missing! That is what I call exitainment, which is the opposite of entertainment.
@@mangoeswithfudge5012 Did they all take stupid pills? Letting the creatives do their job without micromanaging them to death should be an easy recipe for success and money.
That Disney scene was painful to watch, they didn’t acknowledge they’re underrated movies from the 2000’s and took away the possibility of seeing new video game cameos
The Super Mario Movie at least didn't make all the characters into selfish or flanderized characters. Critics should have actually criticized this movie because the Super Mario Movie wasn't just flexing off all of their Nintendo stuff.
Oh My Disney was NOT the main focus of this sequel! Will you please calm down about that already? I thought Ralph Breaks the Internet was good because it was better at telling a more-focused storyline, instead of making the commercials and the products the main focus of the story. That is why The Emoji Movie and Space Jam: A New Legacy got so many negative reviews and Ralph Breaks the Internet not so much, although I will admit that achievement by itself is a very low bar to pass and does not excuse making Wreck-it Ralph and Vanellope into much bigger jerks than they were in the first Wreck-it Ralph film. I still can not see how Ralph Breaks the Internet was the opposite of the first Wreck-it Ralph film because Wreck-it Ralph and Vanellope were not entirely different people from who they were before, and three of the five writers and the director are the same as the first movie. They should understand their characters better than we do!
If they did it how the writers planned the sequal to be, it might actually be quite decent. But considering how I think the executives were the writers for the second movie, I don't think that'll happen
The first movie left me leaving the theater really happy. However, when I saw the sequel, I dwelled in disappointment because of how mediocre and corporate it felt while throwing away everything that made the original great in my opinion. Sure, there are still a few redeeming qualities such as Spamley, Knowsmore, maybe the rick roll at the end, etc. But, the sequel will suffer for being too outdated with its depiction of the internet and its usage of memes that are long past their prime. The Oh My Disney section and any other social media reference completely takes me out of the film. Meanwhile, the original still retains its lingering sense of nostalgic quality to it since it's suppose to be a tribute to the golden age of videogames. The best part of the movie for me were the 8-bit end credits, complete with its kickass song titled "When Can I See You Again."
I actually enjoyed Ralph Breaks the Internet. The Emoji Movie lowered my expectations for this premise so much because I knew there was no way Wreck-it Ralph's writers would be that foolish to slow down the entire storyline with scenes on Candy Crush and Spotify that go absolutely nowhere. eBay and BuzzzTube and Oh My Disney do do things to serve the main plot of Ralph Breaks the Internet that could not just be cut out...but I see your point and Aldone's point that Ralph Breaks the Internet still comes with a whole host of other problems just to begin the entire storyline.
@@adampkalbmy memory is probably still cloudy from trying to forget the sequel, but when did the Oh My Disney website serve the plot and story? It just shoved in almost every single Disney property as fan service, especially that awful princess scene. You could cut out the Groot scenes and the princesses, and nothing would change.
@@adampkalb I think Ralph breaks the internet could have been better if it could have focused more on the aspects of online gaming or how arcade games are being replaced with more modern gaming devices. Even though I don't like this sequel and try to forget it even exists, it still oozes of missed potential.
@@carameilana4419 It also could have benefited from not turning the characters into absolute morons. Like Ralph and Venellope weren't brain geniuses in the first film, but they weren't outright dumb. They were of average intelligence, and at times clever, yet the sequel would have you believe thsee are different characters, or that the writers hated them.
In the first movie: Ralph does everything to help Vanellope AND he saved her game as well as her life from the evil bugs. In this movie: Ralph puts a VIRUS in the internet because he's obsessed with his friend, ignoring Felix and his other friends which is rude. Also, he never felt guilty about that or appologises to the kid. Ralph is acting more like a villain not a hero! His personality was completely destroyed. Thank's for making him annoying and cruel Disney 😐
Wreck-it Ralph was already a villain to begin. How else do you think Ralph Breaks the Internet could have Ralph act more like the villain he was designated to be, without destroying everything about his personality from the first film?
@@adampkalb It would make sense if this was just a bad film but because it is the sequel to a movie where a villain does redeem himself for being a "bad guy", it just shows that this was just bad writing. If he is meant to be a better person now, then why is he acting worse than in the first movie?
Something I'm just realizing is Litwak said the game makes less than $200 per year...but not a few minutes before it's implied that the game has become exceptionally popular in the arcade due to Vanelope. Assuming the game costs a dollar to play and the arcade is open for 50 weeks a year (allowing two weeks for vacations), there would only be 4 players _per week._ If a game is sitting there unused like that, then there's no way he would keep it.
@@jadecoolness101 Racing games are popular, I'm surprised that Sugar Rush would be doing so poorly. Granted it is "aimed" more at girls, because of the anime/Moe candy themeing, but that doesn't mean boys would be interested in it, especially with the option of dual racing. 😅
I really wish they just had Ralph been like an overprotective father, rather than a guy triple Vanellope's age being possessive over her. Sure the movie would still have been ... awful. But at least people wouldn't have a weird ick about the way their relationship is portrayed. Instead of Ralph being a moron and just wanting to have fun with Vanellope, he could just be a bit of a father figure who doesn't know exactly how to comfort his figurative daughter who is going through something traumatic. I remember someone bringing up a good point that it could have been that Ralph wants to go with tradition (No going Turbo, sticking to routine, etc.) but Vanellope could show a new generation questioning tradition and wanting to do something different in life.
And while this is cliched and a bit like what happened in the first film, Vanellope can learn how dangerous going turbo is and she'll learn how much she truly appreciates Sugar Rush. It would be a good message to send to kids coming of age and trying to establish their own identity and would fit with the themes of the first movie.
I went to see this with my friend, who at the moment was being stalked by an obsesive guy, this movie had really bad timing for us 😬we felt worse at the end of it
@@aletanook I like this idea better. You don't just abandon the people you're responsible for because you're bored. Instead why not improve what you have rather than dumping it entirely
Ralph Breaks The Internet is a perfect example of how to ruin a franchise. Instead of a great continuation to the original film, you watch a failure of what made the original special. The sub-plot of Vanellope finally realizing that despite how she's different from the other racers due to her glitch, she can be as good if not better is just ruined here. Having her leave what she strived for all that time because "she was bored" made absolutely no sense and ruins her arc from the original film. Plus leaving your game by going "turbo" was portrayed as something selfish/negative but here it is shown as something as "I'm not like the other girls". As for Ralph making him go from an anti-hero with a heart of gold to a man-baby obsessed with a child is just an uncomfortable transition. Don't even get me started with the Internet references over actual comedy since even the princess scene felt soulless as Disney was trying to modernize them by making fun of Merida (one of the only princesses who wasn't interested in men).
😖Oh, man! Am I the only person in the comments of this video who actually enjoyed some parts of Ralph Breaks the Internet and did not have it ruin or tarnish the first Wreck-it Ralph film for me, simply because I knew of Wreck-it Ralph being one of the movies The Emoji Movie ripped off and wanted to see how Ralph Breaks the Internet was better and more creative at what The Emoji Movie tried to do? Perhaps my mom and I and Browntable were looking at Ralph Breaks the Internet with rose-colored glasses simply because we could not handle the possibility that a less obnoxious Emoji Movie with more creative visuals and animation and better-developed characters attached to it, could still be one of Disney's worst sequels of all time if we compared it more with Wreck-it Ralph than The Emoji Movie.
Isaac Carlson made an interesting case for why Vanellope joining Slaughter Race might not automatically make her as evil as Turbo like most of us think, but I still agree with your point that Ralph Breaks the Internet could have done something much better with Vanellope learning how she can make Sugar Rush more interesting for herself with her glitch powers, instead of ignoring the first Wreck-it Ralph movie's rule against game-jumping or Wreck-it Ralph making a new bonus track for her. Even though Sugar Rush missing its most popular racer, Princess Vanellope Von Schweetz might not be the end of the game's world like Fix-it Felix Jr. missing its villain or its hero, she should still not be ignorant of everybody in the game who likes racing with her, or everybody who plays the game and likes racing as her.
@@adampkalb nothing wrong with liking a movie other ppl dislike, so long as you’re able to acknowledge the flaws and like the parts that aren’t a problem. I’m the same. I like things that might have some good points amidst the flaws, and feel disappointed that it couldn’t have been done well (stuff like Kingdom Hearts, Security Breach, Epic Mickey).
Yo the thing with Merida pissed me off so much. Not because of the man thing, like if you learn what a fucking nightmare production Brave was and how they basically pushed the original writer out of her project it REALLY hits hard how they chose to make fun of her like she was crazy and stupid. Brave was ACTUALLY gonna be a movie about a young woman and her mother a premise that was inherently beautiful and without a man as a major plot point while still having the dad like no disrespect just FINALLY a focus on women. What did they do? Let a man take over the project and make it more shallow, shoving the actual artist to the sidelines. It was vile.
As a Scottish person, I usually like a bit of banter and people poking fun at us, the "Joke" of Merida wasn't even funny, they could have had her speak Gaelic, or speak a lot of Scottish slang, that would make sense and be somewhat funny, instead of her just spewing out a load of crap.
I've always hated the Disney Princess section. When Vanellope is like "Just be yourself," I just sighed because I knew where it was going. She didn't want them to be themselves, she wanted them to be like her, with a t-shirt, a hoodie, and jeans. It didn't matter if those characters actually liked wearing dresses, or an archery outfit, and it didn't matter if they liked the various aspects of being a princess because they weren't 'being themselves' according to Vanellope. A lot of girls like wearing makeup, and they like dressing up in colorful outfits, some guys do as well. It bugs me so much when I see movies tell those people "Dressing up in fancy outfits and wearing makeup is bad. You shouldn't wear makeup and dress yourself in t-shirts and jeans then spend all your free time playing video games and eating chips."
Ya know, I was working on a Ralph Sequel rewrite last week and that was one of the goals I had for it. In my story, Ralph, Vanellope, Felix, and Calhoun go to an online battle royale game (ex. Fortnite). Felix and Calhoun accidentally get into the character creator menu and create a character that looks like a fusion of the two. That character ends up coming into the game and treats Felix and Calhoun like parents. The real trouble of this side of the story comes from all the danger and shenangians the kid gets into while Felix and Calhoun's parental instincts kick into overdrive and the couple try to keep the kid out of danger, but to little success.
This movie should've been about the rift between vintage arcade games and modern gaming. Have Litwak's grandson or nephew take over the arcade, or have characters from online games wander in to the arcade.
I'll be honest.. this movie made me REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE when i saw it in the cinema. Ralph sabotaging his best friend's happiness selfishly, acting like a huge baby, clinging to vanelope and not letting her go, it was like a psychological horror 😭😭😭!!! Really gave Ralph bad ick vibes because their relationship in the first movie felt very Stern Awkward Uncle and carefree kid niece! I really loved their dinamic but THIS Ralph just gave me the creeps I was actually rooting for vanelope to GET AWAY FROM RALPH and was relieved when she did!!!! Ralph was such a villain in this movie Dx And not the likeable misunderstood kind like he's supposed to be!
Stern awkward uncle figure to Venalope is the best description to Ralph as a character, and these two in the sequel felt like a shell of their former selves.
Disney saw how good the first one was and immediately thought, “Let’s make a second one and immediately drain all the life and passion out of it. It’s foolproof.”
I do not understand. Three of Ralph Wrecks the Internet's writers are the same people who wrote the first movie! How could Phil Johnston, Rich Moore and Jim Reardon suddenly forget what was great about the first Wreck-it Ralph?
Did they all take stupid pills that morning, or did they want us to hate Ralph Breaks the Internet? There is no point in making more money by making another one, when you eliminate all of your selling points by deliberately taking out what other people liked about Wreck-it Ralph because you do not know how to do anything new with them that is consistent with their characters, as if you want to write a different story entirely, for a different audience entirely, but are too lazy to come up with a different property for it.
Do all of you critics and commenters seriously think you can write a better Ralph Breaks the Internet sequel than Phil Johnston, Rich Moore and Jim Reardon, the same writers who wrote Wreck-It Ralph AND Ralph Breaks the Internet?
Everything wrong with Ralph Brakes the Internet: - The title should have been ''Ralph Wreckes the Internet''. They even lampshade it in the movie. ''What I'm doing is stupid and wrong but I'm gonna do it anyway. Bringing attention to it somehow will make it okay.'' Stop doing it! It's like waving a red flag in front of the bull. But instead of the bull, it's the audience and the red flag are the plotholes. Chances were a lot of people wouldn't even have noticed but now that you mentioned it they can't stop thinking about it! - Disney is just flexing how many IPs they own. - The portrayal of the Internet and how it works is just stupid, wrong, and even dangerous. - You can become famous and make millions on youtube in just a day by making only short ( I mean a couple of seconds) videos. - ''Never look at the comments.'' Because people who criticize you are haters! It's not like they might have some valid criticism! Or that majority of comments are usually nice, especially if you make just funny innocent content as Ralph did. And given how popular he became I guess like 99% of the comments are positive. - Name-dropping freaking Dark Web in a movie for kids! Name it something else! - Ralph being clingy is so forced! It doesn't feel natural. The ending of how he just spells the message out. It was only missing him staring right into the camera! - Vanellope goes Turbo! - Other characters don't do anything. - How on Earth are those copyrighted characters allowed to show up on the internet and in other games without getting copyright strikes? I can understand Ralph. People probably think someone animated funny videos with a video game character. But how on earth is Veneloppe supposed to bland in the slaughter race? She's not some random extra but the main character of her own game! And she completely doesn't blend in with the style of her new game. Did I miss anything?
The utter abomination that are the Disney Princesses... The fact that the way they were portrayed in the movie LITERALLY misses the point of MOST of the characters OWN movies...
@@briamari9035 Wait then does that mean the movie exists in the movie ? So Film Vanellope would be able to come in contact with the Oh My Disney Vanellope. How would that work ? Is it like the "never meet your past self" in time travel movies ?
Ralph reads the thousands of comments about how he is "bad" and is apparently sad. We are supposed to feel bad for him. Compare that to the first movie when Vanellope says between sobs, "You really are a bad guy." One of those scenes will give the audience an emotional reaction. The other will not.
First movie: Ralph does something selfish that makes vanellope cry (Ralph's a jerk moment) but he then feels bad and fixes the problem Ralph Breaks the Internet: Ralph does something selfish that makes Vanellope angry (Ralph's being awful again) instead of trying tio fix the issue and apologize, Ralph tries to destroy the internet to keep Vanellope from leaving him (Ralph being a creepy p*do moment!?)
@@Hauntakuralph wasn't selfish when he destroyed vanellope's racing car. King candy said if vanellope wins the race, she will glitch when players play with her and then candy rush will get turned off. Vanellope would be stuck in game and she would die. Ralph destroyed her car so she couldn't win the race
As for someone who really adored the original film of Wreck-It-Ralph, I hope they don't ruin the other movies with sequels they have in mind. When Disney announced sequels to Inside Out and Zootopia, I screamed, not in joy but in fear for what Disney has ruined with their sequels. As someone who also loves Zootopia, I am hoping they don't ruin the original film due to retcons and horrible writing :(
I have a bad feeling about Zootopia 2. If it has any ham-fisted messages about police brutality, then it could start problems with rewriting main characters to fit the conflict that will be more obvious for people to notice than Ralph Breaks the Internet.
I personally thought Zootopia and Inside Out ended on a good note. To where I didn't believe a sequel was needed because both films did their job telling a satisfying story from start to finish. Not only do I dread for the upcoming sequels of the films Disney announced. But it makes my skin crawl thinking how they might ruin the originals with their sequels.
I think you guys need to chill out. Sure this film was bad, but we shouldn't immediately assume the worst for all the upcoming sequels, because they might actually end up being really good! In fact, I actually wouldn't mind those sequels being made if they're done right.
When this movie first came out - and people were reacting rather positively to it - all I could think of is that this is literally the Emoji Movie but for disney properties.
I thought Ralph Breaks the Internet was not as bad as The Emoji Movie! Besides, I can not stay too mad at the Oh My Disney scene when it takes up far less time than the WB server-verse in Space Jam: A New Legacy and Ralph Breaks the Internet had a bigger variety of locations to visit outside of Oh My Disney.
Tbf...you right lmao. Everyone praised even to the point having an argument with people who did get the message. Like I get frustrated at them on how much do they know about the first movie. Because the first movie is supposedly being "the blueprint" of the cure of video game movie curse. I remember how well received by videogame community when the first trailer came out. And speculating how the director will expand the videogame world in wreck it Ralph sequel. But then ... It's just went downhill for no reason
@@sentrogaspers9813 Right??? I literally argued with some people over how nonsensical the whole internet instant fame bs was. "But it happens!" Yeah, it happens, but it's rare and the fact that you had Ralph get famous by some miracle just ruins any potential tension in the story.
I love how they teach children that scetchy, suspicious pop-up adds are just misunderstood and actually really nice things can make you a lot of money.
DreamWorks still knows how to make great sequel nowadays like Shrek 2, Kung Fu Panda 2, How To Train Your Dragon 2 and the most recently one that being Puss In Boots The Last Wish.
I am interested in a sequel to The Prince of Egypt. Like a proper sequel. (No disrespect to Joseph: King of Dreams) Preferably based on the story of Joshua.
Shrek the Third kinda does. That movie made Prince Charming into a pathetic character who did not serve his purpose as a good villain. Just compare him with Death The Wolf from Puss In Boots 2 and you'll see just how awful Shrek The Third was executed.
@@rommix0 All you really need to do is compare him to who he was in _Shrek 2._ He was not as calculating as the Fairy Godmother, but he was driven, had a goal to strive for, and contributed to his mother’s plan, even throwing her displaced magic wand into her hands during the climax. In _Shrek the Third,_ Prince Charming is still driven and still striding toward his goal in the last film, but without his mother to be an anchor for his plans, he was not competent enough to execute them well. His portrayal in that movie was not damaging to his character; it only reinforced that he was a bad stand-alone villain. Comparing him to Death is redundant because Death was in a completely different league and served his role in that narrative in a much different way.
@@HauntakuI thought his mother did like him.as why else was she hell bent on on making him king also many times portrayed them.as a mother and her full grown son . She never was shown to be abusive like Angs to Skinner or mom to her 3 sons
I was at the dentist a year ago and had to watch this movie while getting a cavity drilled out. Hurt more than getting a syringe shoved in the back of my gums.
Both movies are feature films at their core. Shark Tale is even more clearly a feature film cuz RBTI is filled with excessive product placement. But there is a LITERAL COMMERCIAL made by Sony called Surf’s Up 2: WaveMania. One of the best parts of RBTI was the Disney Princess stuff so I don’t know about any of you, but I would take characters that range from like to adore over a sport I couldn’t care less about and couldn’t get into no matter how hard I try, ESPECIALLY when it comes to the likes of F1, any day.
You were teasing us about this review, weren't you? If so, thank you for delivering. Wreck-It-Ralph was my favorite Disney film of all time. But I hated Ralph Breaks the Internet so much, it tarnished Wreck-it-ralph for me. I can't remember if I learned about the Vito Corleone meme before or after watching movie. (I watched it on DVD from a disk I rented from the library.) But by the end of the film, I definitely channeled that meme. They massacred my boy Ralph.
It’s my favorite of all time too!! Breaks the Internet is like a really bad fan fiction where the writers had no idea about that world. It obviously isn’t canon, so I don’t let it bother me. No messed up fan fiction from people who were clueless anyway is gonna tarnish what I love.
@@Lizuma That makes absolutely no sense that Phil Johnston, Rich Moore and Jim Reardon would write both movies and make the sequel out to be a clueless fan fiction to the first movie. I mean, how can they deny Vanellope going Turbo?
@@jakedebruin2246 Strangely that is a cycle that repeated for FROZEN II and Toy Story 4. So not only is these sequels contradicting their previous installments but now they're breaking up casts and somehow we're supposed to feel fine?
It isn’t as good as lion king 1, but I still think it’s a good continuation and I like how this one is based off Romeo and Juliet while lion king 1 is based off of hamlet. Also the songs are bangers
I'll never understand why this movie got praised and the emoji movie got panned. You could argue this is a worse movie. It's not funny (neither was the emoji movie but still), it's just an ad for Disney, it sends harmful messages to kids, and it ignores the already established rules. Obviously the emoji movie sucks but I hated every minute of Ralph breaks the internet and I at least kinda like that one water fountain sence from the emoji movie
I agree. The Emoji Movie is overhated for what Ralph breaks The Internet does WAY worse. The Emoji Movie is just mid while the latter just ruins every good thing that could have redeemed it from one of the worst sequels ever.
😭What? I actually thought Ralph Breaks the Internet was much better than The Emoji Movie because it did not have as much filler, and it found a more creative, less generic way to do this type of story that took a risk by daring to make us question if it was possible for a character to move to another video game without actually becoming as evil as Turbo himself. April 22, 2023, 12:09am
Super Mario was slated to appear "in person" in this sequel.... Nintendo wisely held out and let Illumination do wonders for Mario. Disney fuming with jealousy at Mario's success.
But what really annoys me is how the movie tries so hard to ignore the most important rule from the first movie. DO NOT GO TURBO. And when you think about it, the characters actually went turbo in the sequel compared to the original. In the first movie, Ralph really never went turbo, as he was just trying to get a metal as fast as possible and came back before anyone else find out he was missing, everything he was dealing with in Sugar Rush was more of him getting sidetracked. In the sequel, Ralph and especially Vanel actually went turbo by interfering with the gamer, leaving their games in bright daylight, having Vanel selfishly leaving her game and everyone behind to fulfill her selfish needs, and never even telling or saying good bye to them anyway. It really annoys me when a movie or a show is covering certain topics, but when doing so, they have to assassinate the characters, make the characters unlikable, and when there are more valid points to be made and look into or rules that were set up in the previous installment, they purposely ignore it because the writers knows about that but to make their point clear to fit their story they chose to ignore it.
Correction, Ralph DID go Turbo in the first movie and he DID get caught missing by a gamer. The difference? It was actually treated as a bad thing there, and Ralph came back before the game got unplugged.

Venalloppe fails to understand and remember that 1. Slaughter race is literally in the title, if she dies in that game, she won't respawn! Even if she's coded in, the developer will have to remove her. 2. Slaughter race could face a copyright lawsuit with her in that game without the creators' permission 3. She isn't the only selfish friend here 4. She is copying turbo’s actions
This movie made me not want wreck it Ralph to continue as a franchise, which is shocking since I thought it had potential for a trilogy before the second one came out!
When it comes to Elsa's mother using "Elsa's model" that can easily be written off as... well, Elsa's mother is.. Elsa's MOTHER, of course they'll look very similar... I've seen many instances of daughters looking like an almost copy of their mother irl. But this random kid being actually just the baby Moana.... yeah no, lazy, disney has way too much money to be doing that.
It's amazing how this movie is so dated due to the internet references yet the original film about a 1983 video games does not feel dated at all I adore the first film, this one I just present it does not exist 😅
The steering wheel part I can understand. I know people who have home arcades and barcade businesses and buy and restore old arcade cabinets. This kind of part for an arcade is pretty specialized. You can't just go out and buy another unless the game was REALLY popular and aftermarket suppliers make reproductions. Usually the only source is the manufacturer, and if they've gone out of business or no longer make the part owners are left either cannibalizing old machines or hoping new old stock from a warehouse or barn find shows up on eBay. If a broken game isn't bringing in enough to warrant buying a replacement part they'll cut it. That being said, this movie is an abomination. I can think of dozens of better plotlines for a sequel to Wreck-It Ralph.
Yeah like in the wake of an computer game rather than the internet itself as a whole, that is a way better concept as a whole had it may have similar concept to Arcade only you don’t need a token to do it… actually since Arcade had a card to play it in place of token, maybe they’ll take it a step further since they modernize it.
I keep trying think of how this movie could be better, but I can never do it. Finally, I've found out why: it's fundamentally broken and impossible to make ANYTHING in this movie make sense.
Terrible plot aside, I rarely go to see movies in theatres, but when this came out I took my best friend to watch it since we loved the first one, and we needed to have some fun since she was stressed about a guy who had been stalking her, hence the reason she was staying at my place, let's say that Ralph's behaviour in the movie didn't help with that and we walked out of the theatre feeling worse.
When I went to see this movie in theatres, everyone was mumbling about how horrible the movie was as they left. Not a single person was happy with it. Contrast that to the first movie where I saw kids cheering about how great it was and the parent's smiling. The first film was good.
I hated that in the second one they made them friends like…if they were the same age which no. In the first Ralph talked to her like a actual kid and I remember it really made me happy because it gave me the feeling of a father and daughter relationship. And him being proud of her in the end was so sweet. The second one completely ruins it making it extremely creepy and clingy.
Pocahontas Mulan and Moana are in the princess scene because they are part of the official Disney Princess brand, princess to Disney is not just a title it's a brand that their female characters, whether actually royalty or not get included in based on specific categories created for the brand. Anna and Elsa are there because even tho they aren't in the official brand Disney knows people see them as part of it
Technically.....Venellope is a princess. A princess in a disney movie. She should have been in the princess scene already. A side note that I can't put anywhere else: People say the princess scene assassinates all the character princesses and basically devalues what they do in their own respective films. Like the "big strong man saves the day" line from Rapunzel, or Cinderella breaking her glass slipper to use as a makeshift weapon, despite how much it meant to her.( I ironically find that joke to be one of the best in this movie). But it dawned on me that the princesses actually aren't supposed to act like they did in the movie. Look at Ralph, for example. Does he act like Wreck it Ralph from Fix it Felix Jr.? No. Ralph has a heart in the first movie and isn't the villain despite being coded in his game to be a villain. We see this at the Bad-Anon meeting. So the princess scene makes more sense when you think of their respective movies as their job, and not their life like it was portrayed in their movies. So, them all acting like stereotypical girls during a sleepover isn't that bad of an idea. it was just poorly executed.
That's because Sony was behind it. They've proven with Spider-Verse that they at least try to make a good movie even if the story or concept ain't necessarily sound.
@@rommix0 Oh, I'm not giving the Emoji Movie credit with my statement. That film is a waste of time filled with nothing but ads for phone apps. But at least it doesn't desecrate an established world and great original characters like Ralph Breaks the Internet did. Ralph Breaks the Internet is worse than the majority of Disney DVD sequels, even with its massive advantage in the animation quality department.
It’s actually amazing how they took a movie that was absolutely rife with potential for a sequel, and sucked out everything and anything that made it good and turned it into a soulless product designed to market a brand, how how little they know about the topic that they’re writing about, and butcher every character to the point where they don’t remotely feel like the ones from the first!
I'm thinking about writing some Wreck-it Ralph fanfiction of what I would make the sequel about. It'd focus on Vanellope and her friends. The theme of the movie would be that sometimes there are obstacles in life and we must adapt to triumph over them. I would treat the characters and the viewers with respect unlike Disney.
@@jakedebruin2246 *NO BRO* it doesn't have meaning. Why would that person even say that. The movie was like a writer venting out their breakup or divorce but inserted Ralph, Vanellope and Shank into it. God, that scene with Ralph overhearing the latter two was weird.
The first movie is my favorite Disney movie of all time and the sequel disappointed me greatly. It took a huge dump on what made the last movie special. If they make a third Wreck it Ralph, we can only hope it shifts its focus back to video games rather than the internet and not just be a huge Disney commercial of Disney owned properties like the last movie.
That was still a very small point of focus compared to how it was done in Space Jam: A New Legacy. I at least enjoyed the plot and the journey of Ralph Breaks the Internet more because it does not waste 8 minutes in Candy Crush or Spotify.
at first, I hated the movie because of how unsettling and creepy the ralph clone scenes at the end were. now, I hate the movie as a whole because of the creepy end scenes AND how cringy, illogical and unmemorable it is. this movie is a hot mess. the producers literally wrecked the movie.
One of the worst things about this movie is the removal of the second seat in Sugar Rush. Even if Ralph gone turbo, even in Vanellope gone rogue, even if Litwak was stupid enough to break it, none of that would've mattered because they could've just used the second seat and the game would work perfectly as normal, but they got rid of it for plot convenience. Also another thing that bugs me is how Vanellope manages to leave Sugar Rush in her normal fit. By the rules of the first movie, the only way to leave Sugar Rush at all is to have her princess getup on so the plug doesn't mistake her as a glitch and its been fully established that her normal outfit is still the glitchy one.
Nope, go watch the first movie again. The code was repaired at the end so that she could leave at any point in time. She even got to keep her glitch ability and all of her friends regained their memories. The outfit has no actual impact in the story.
@@Hauntaku nah cuz like. She was able to leave the game at the end, she just had to wear the princess fit, aka Felix & Calhoun's wedding where it doubled as her "best clothes". In her monologue at the end, its shown she is able to glitch in the hoodie inside sugar rush, but is unable to in the dress, making it okay for her to leave the game, only with that outfit on, or at least not with the hoodie at all. The second movie ignores that completely. Also everyone remembered her as a princess at the end, not a tomboy.
@@solstie 'its shown she is able to glitch in the hoodie inside sugar rush, but is unable to in the dress, " literally the first thing she does in the dress is glitch, while inside of it, to get OUT of it, and into her preferred outfit. She's been restored completely into the code, she is a character inside of her game and finally recognized as one, it doesn't matter what she's wearing. She functions like everyone else.
I calculated how much money sugar rush would be getting per year based on the owner saying the game makes less than 200 dollars in that time. I based the cost per game as one quarter to account for the cheapest the game could be. To make 200 dollars, you'd need at least 800 games played, which sounds like a lot until you realize that if he's open every single day of the year, he only needs 2 people to play the game. And if you exclude weekends, he only needs 3 people to play it daily. If it's not getting at least 3 people a day on average, then unless he became really unrelivent in 6 years then he should unplug the game since he probably couldn't pay for its space and electricity.
I also don't understand how Vanellope is seen as favorited character in Sugar Rush but the writers make her leave. If that's the case litwak should just unplug the game entirely after that.
Other than all your "boomer" ranting, I completely agree. I despise Ralph Breaks the Internet. It's one of the only movies I came out of the theater mad at and had so much negative thoughts about. Our cosplay group was asked to do the premiere and we had such high hopes for it, but most of us came out hating it.
Some of the requirements that makes a character a Disney princess is one who make the most money, is the main character of the film and has their name in the title
Eh, the mario movie really isnt that good. The only reason somebody would like it is because of nostalgia or their child wants to watch it. The mario movie was basically wreck it, ralph breaks the internet ,but with no plot.
@@smurgerburger At least the Mario Movie didn't ruin or flanderized its characters like Ralph Breaks the Internet did. Or add themes and messages that are completely dangerous and harmful to kids The former is just a perfectly fine film, albeit safe and boring at worst. While the latter tarnishes everything that made its predecessor incredible.
In my opinion the wreck-it ralph franchise is one the most mistreated franchises that disney has. It's not as bad as with treasure planet or atlantis, but still.. bad. How they didn't make a new sugar rush kart videogame, how they didn't make as much merch as they would for every other movie (yes even before frozen) and with the second movie... i loved it. But i loved it as a hurt fan who mainly loved the graphics and was excited to see any marketing for a franchise that was already half buried by then.
You know what makes it worse? There are deleted Scenes where Ralph and Vanellope stumble upon the defunct Disney Infinity servers and many of the Disney Infinity members who were abandoned by Disney when they shut down the servers, which I feel would have served a parallel to how Ralph and Q'Bert interacted in the first movie... I mean, seriously, we could have had a _better_ plot line where rather than Ralph acting like a ManBaby and Vanellope acting like a Stuck-Up, we could have had many of the Infinity characters be angry at how they were "Replaced and abandoned" (Which they pretty much were), and basically try to go Full Turbo on the more "Popular" characters, which would result in the catastrophic event at the end anyway, only based on the members of Disney Infinity that still bear a grudge at being abandoned, and how the "Popular" Disney Attractions effectively caused their Server to be lost. I mean, it would have been cool to see a Sort of Civil War be sparked between the Disney Infinity characters, as Ralph and Vanellope were also supposed to interact with the Infinity Characters as well, which meant we could have had more than mere cameo appearances, but also had fully interacted scenes between them. It would be way better if the Story, rather than going from Vanellope going from being brainwashed by Spoiled Disney Princesses straight back to Slaughter Race, we had Vanellope encounter the Defunct Disney Infinity servers, and see the darker side of the Glitz and Glammor she was first shown... And perhaps, even have a scene where she is given a Ralph and Q'Bert moment, where she sees a rather sad group of Infinity Characters (A Good idea would be Robin Hood, as he was a playable character in Disney infinity, and his Film was a Cult Classic that was not very well known beyond... Well, Furries), and she shows how much she'd learned from Ralph, by giving them something to eat, much like Ralph did with Q'Bert. It would show how much Ralph meant to Vanellope (I see their relationship as more "Intergenerational Friendship" or a "Big Bro/Little Sis" relationship, rather than anything romantic, so drop all the weird talk) that his good will had rubbed off on her... And I can see Ralph turning up, looking for Vanellope, sees the state of the Defunct infinity Servers and has a momentary flashback to his time back when he was effectively a Pariah to the Nicelanders. I can actually see the plotting of the more grudgeful Disney Infinity members that would eventually lead to the big climax, and Ralph, upon finding out, tries to stop them, trying to convince them that he can help... And only finally getting to the one leading the Infinity Rebellion, when he flat out tells them "I know what its like!", in a similar vein to Colonel O'Neil in Stargate SG-1, Window of Opportunity. Then again, the idea was likely abandoned for the same reason Cars 3's Ending was changed (That rather than McQueen joining Dinoco, we have... That ending.), And that was because "We cannot make Disney or any Corpo similar in Work Ethics to Disney, look bad"... Nevermind that Disney already has done a good job showing how bad they have become anyway, without trying to.
_Ralph Breaks the Internet,_ was the Disney sequel that literally…..(ugh) I don’t know what to make of this sequel, it’s like _Muppets Most Wanted_ but much more flanderized and doesn’t have the heart and soul of the first _Wreck-It Ralph_ and frankly I felt bewildered and betrayed by _Ralph Breaks the Internet_ especially during the end of the film, because literally Ralph and Vanellope’s personality turn a whole 360 in the sequel compared to their personalities from the first movie. Ralph who acted as humble, kind hearted gentle giant from the first film just became a selfish, clingy, and malicious jerk with most of his actions being done for the wrong reasons, Vanellope who was the mischievous, snarky racer just became very selfish and very immature while at the same time ends up being the one "Going TURBO" and because of their personalities being the opposite of who they were from the first film, it literally turned me off from this movie, along with the fact many of the side characters like Felix and Calhoun were sidelined and felt unimportant to the movie. Even the new characters introduced (Knowsmore, Yesss, and Shank) and the scenes of Vanellope with the Disney Princesses weren’t enough to save this film. If I had a guess regardless if Phil Johnston, Rich Moore and Jim Reardon returned from the first movie one of them decided to have the sequel take a different turn and at the same time, turn a 360 by flanderizing Ralph and Vanellope’s personality and it’s one of the reasons why I prefer watching the first _Wreck-It Ralph_ over this film. Frankly if I was in a room and had a choice between _Ralph Breaks the Internet_ _Home on the Range_ and _Chicken Little_ and had to pick two from Disney Animation’s mediocre films I would choose the latter two over the former, and if I was in a room and had a choice between a bad animated sequel from Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, Illumination and had to choose one I would watch _Shrek the Third_ over _Ralph Breaks The Internet._
Wow. Muppets Most Wanted really was that bad? That movie came and went without a trace while this movie did likewise but is still talked about for how bad it is.
@@rommix0 Well compared to the 2011 Muppets film, it lacked the heart and soul of it’s predecessor and relied too much on comedy and flanderization, and that’s fine, the Muppets are known for their comedy, but that film was literally a giant step backwards to the 2011 film. Even the opening song of _Muppets Most Wanted_ kind of betrayed and undermined the film’s ending when Walter, Gary’s younger Muppet brother ended up joining the Muppets. To it’s credit I would rather watch that over _Ralph Breaks the Internet_
They literally HEARD Mr.Lipwhack say $200 for the wheel was too expensive and they STILL bid those ridiculous numbers, they weren't that stupid in the first movie this movie was just braindead
I felt like this movie was made by people who don't actually use the internet on a regular basis. The passion and knowledge from the first film was not at all present in the second.
6:10 what really bothers me about this is how there’s only one console where in the first movie it was two games as to be a multiplayer game. They literally got rid of one of the consoles without any explanation to push this plot into motion.
I remember how hype I was for a SEQUEL to Wreck it Ralph.......the possibilities of IDEAS.........Ralph arcades vs Console Game...Online Games been introduce, maybe a MARIO cameo (now in hindsigh I understand why Nintendo didn't gave permission to Disney, well done NINTENDO), How many new make up games could be feature as well how many more videogames references and cameos they could add, and continuing the story, the concept of going TURBO, sooo many ideas.................then Disney release the trailer, it should be a RED FLAG but I was.....you know what, is DISNEY, They still where producing great films at that time so....I TRUST THEM....they release the first trailer, not get me not even a bit excited, the second seeing a DISNEY PRINCESS crossover (and Idea I actually would have love to see done in a SOLO film for that premise not here) get me a little excited.........then I saw the film........................I was I think 36 years old....I only have watch before that film 2 other movies that make me ANGRY.....Iron Man 3 and Transformers Dark of the Moon......but man did I was ANGRY after watching this one in particular, because how much I LOVE the first one, this one was not just a let down of major proportions, this was a film that destroyed everything good the first film did, destroyed all the world building, destroyed all secondary characters relevancy, demolished the intelligent of all characters, erased the concept of going Turbo so that was never explore again, and worst than all....destroyed...no, ASSASINATED the characters of Ralph and Vanellope, making them almost irrecognizable, and so unlikable and worst, SO DUMB AND STUPID specially RALPH, this was the film that make me start seeing the forced FEMALE EMPOWERMENT agenda that is driven Disney to bankruptcy, the first time was OBVIOUS and in your FACE, making a previously naive but competent male protagonist that was interesting, and relatable into a douche, man baby, needy and greedy, and pervy almost uncomfortable to see how he feel like he own VANELLOPE....but Van was not much better, knowing how bad going Turbo almost destroyed her home, just to her copy what the villain of the first film did and be rewarded for her actions (you know because if a MALE do it is bad, but if a woman does the same is GOOD....no double standard at all).....and the story was just THE EMOJI MOVIE 2.0, how we go from Videogames to....product placement and DISNEY cameos and references? we all wanted Mario or Cloud or any game character to appear, not only we get nothing of that (just reuse the same cameos we got in the first one) and instead they put, MARVEL and STAR WARS and DISNEY PRINCESSES?.....And logos and product placement of Amazon, Ebay, Facebook, Twitter, You Tube....like WTF?.....I hate this movie and I'm so happy, different to other films that failed to have an audience but in time became beloved classics.....this one is having the polar opposite, was a hit that was "well receive" by critics the year that release, but in time, have become one of the most hated films ever made, every new video I found of this film is literally negative on the story and characters, instead of a positive video, and sadly is well deserved......the only bad downside, is that....now days I not like to re watch the original, because I know where it will go after and, is sad, makes that BEAUTIFUL final scene, MEANS NOTHING NOW, you can't see that tear jerking scene and feel anything now, knowing that in the sequel, Vanellope will go Turbo and Ralph will separate from her, her friendship ruined for no reason at all, and that to me, is the worst offense this sequel did, in retrospective, RUIN the first film, and is not a case like Terminator 1 and 2 that most fans will say, it ENDED IN 2 and the rest is just fan fiction at best..........no this is canonically how the story went, is the same team, writers, animation studio, voice cast, everything was back, to give us the worst possible sequel, anyone could imagine. and that is unforgivable.
The only thing they did right was how creative the internet was portrayed as it’s really cool a huge city, Twitter being a tree with the birds it’s really cool but they ruined the rest
They should just contact me to write a sequel for Wreck-it Ralph. First order of business: Erase "Ralph Breaks the Internet" from the timeline. Let's forget this mess ever happened.
I am not sure if it is a good idea to just forget that ever happened, when you could write a new story about all of the trouble Vanellope faces as a consequence of choosing to abandon Sugar Rush.
I, too, did not laugh once during Ralph Breaks the Internet, save for ONE background gag. The scene where Ralph hits the "bottom" of the internet, and you see a broken down name plate for Geocities made me crack up, but then cry because I miss the pure patched together, home grown websites that humans made on geocities.
This is the first Disney movie I've seen in the theaters that I didn't like it in the end - its that bad 👎👎👎👎👎 What infuriated me the most is the ending where Vanelloppe betrayed her fellow Sugar Rush subjects and moved to Slaughter Race meaning that she went Turbo, which is exactly what Turbo did in the first movie, except that this movie treats it as a good thing unlike the first movie where going Turbo is a bad thing 😠
@adamkalb1 No, but however she doesn't even seem to care in the slightest about how her actions are gonna doom both Sugar Rush and Slaughter Race in the long run.
you know when you think about it vanellope time in slaughter race will be pretty short live eventually someone playing it will recognize her from sugar rush which will get the attention of the sugar rush developers who will possibly lead them to sue the slaughter race developers for having one of their characters which would lead to the game getting shut down or have vanellope code remove from the game
They probably would just see it as a glitch caused by the Wreck-it Ralph virus and then they's collab to keep her as a character because of her being the best character in Wreck-it Ralph. Either way, Ralph Breaks the Internet is a horrible film.
That wouldn't solve anything. You'd have more of the IPs wanking sessions from both Disney and the video game companies. That don't make it any better.
How did venellope even leave her game Also, if the game developers discover venellope in the racing internet game, they can legit just delete her ._. Literally so easily
Seriously, WHAT THE HELL happened with this movie? They were on the right track with online gaming then corporate got involved and made this a kiss-ass movie. This was the beginning of the end. Progressive nonsense was shoved into this. What's worse is that *VANELLOPE NEVER APOLOGIZED.* It was NEVER Ralph's fault, IT WAS HERS. She's the one who was getting *BORED* of her game so Ralph *OUT OF THE KINDNESS OF HIS HEART* made her a new track. But no, they have to let Vanellope *GO TURBO* because modern feminism.
It's not so much about Ralph Breaking the internet but how the creators broke him and Vanellope... He is nothing like himself from the first film, and she is nothing like herself from before either. Those two are not the same characters we got from the first film. It is such a huge screw up.
Why is Disney so bad at making sequels that were supposed to be good, but they're not? What's even worse is that Mario is not there in the movie, they promised that Mario would be in the sequel, but no. At least Sonic is there and thank God for The Super Mario Bros. Movie. At least Ralph Breaks The Internet is better than The Emoji Movie.
Dude, even the Emoji movie is slightly better than Ralph Breaks The Internet imo. At least they didn't have great characters to ruin to begin with. The Emoji Movie was just mid but Ralph Breaks The Internet was just awful due to it ruining the original film.
@@suspiciousstar7547 FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS IT!! I don't know about you, but as bad as that film was, I would still take it over a bastardized sequel that not only shits all over the original, but simultaneously portrays the internet horribly. Yeah The Emoji Movie had that stupid ending with the phone deleting logic not making any sense, but at least it's not as bad as all the BuzzTube and Oh My Disney shit.
I heard that Mario didn’t make an appearance because Disney’s contract with Nintendo expired during production or something. It still felt like a slap in the face
Vanellope said things were too predictable/wanted to experience more thrill, but maybe she was just too good and got bored of doing everything perfectly. Could she have trained the other racers to be as good as her to spice up each race instead of abandoning all of them to…do things themselves? (They needed a leader, right?) If the racers were able to compete with her, it might’ve been a fun competition again, no matter the course, right?
Better yet, just change the game instead of moving to a different game. Also, bored after 26 years? What about the first few years? This movie made no sense.
The only good things about this movie is spamly,knowsmore,and the dark web Every bad thing of this film stupid ralph, character assassination, bad plot,bad villain,ruined ralph and velnope friendship, and more
And I don't like the way they drastically changed Shank's style. I liked her when she behaved as a hipster, street rogue gangster. Then she starts skipping around like she's a pink princess unicorn from over the rainbow. Don't get me wrong, I like unicorns and the rainbow but I also like that realistic gangster persona with certain personalities in certain characters.
This movie is my least favorite movie of all time. I hate how it ruins the first movie if regarded as even semi-cannon. It makes no goddamn sense, and why the fuck did they make Ralph creepy? That may be the most egregious error on their end. They butchered every character, but they butchered Ralph the worst. Also, I don't agree with the claim that the princess scene was the one good thing. Even the princesses weren't in character! It was incredibly apparent marketing to the point of insult. A better sequel could have been one where the arcade faces the threat of shutdown, maybe they could've lost in the end and it could've had a message about how everything ends (or maybe a message on change that puts Toy Story 4 to shame). Or, better yet, no sequel! Have the characters actually be in character and don't give everyone the idiot ball, or maybe just don't. Evidently, this movie was a cash-grab by every stretch of the word. Its entire purpose was to garner sponsorships, it had no shame. I just wish they put even an iota of care into it.
The movie should’ve been another character goes turbo and goes into the internet. This somehow affects Ralph and venellope and they need to track him down. They need to get the character back in the game before sun rise. Idk
Headcanon: His name is Del Litwack instead of Stan Litwack because this movie takes place in an alternate universe of Wreck it Ralph where everything is worse.
@@jackflynn412 Imo, Toy Story 4's level of character assassinations are on par with the character assassinations seen in both TLJ and Ralph Breaks the Internet. Woody, Buzz, Bo, and the others were all wholly unrecognizable. For example, the scene in the beginning where Woody almost leaves with Bo Peep takes place very shortly after Toy Story 2, when Woody made the conviction to stay with Andy instead of a display in a Museum.
@@taqresu5865 That is true that they both assassinate their characters, but Ralph is just so uncomfortable to watch in this movie that it makes it infinitely worse than Toy Story 4 to me. Ralph's relationship with Venelope felt borderline predatory.
@@jackflynn412 Fair enough. It's just that Toy Story and Toy Story 2 were THE peak of my Childhood. I was so obsessed with those movies, I even had a double sided blanket to represent Woody and Buzz respectively. I was like Andy in that regard. I love Wreck-it Ralph too of course, it's probably my favorite original Disney movie since the Renaissance, or at least high up there. But Toy Story meant so much more to me. And after Toy Story concluded the franchise, watching Toy Story 4 felt like a betrayal, as did Lightyear. It basically killed Pixar for me like how TLJ killed Lucasfilm.
@@taqresu5865 That's completely fair! I loved Toy Story growing up too so I can understand the pain of watching the characters get assassinated. My entite thought process during Toy Story 4 was wondering why it didn't end at 3 which was a perfect finale for Andy and Woody. It's sad to see pretty much every Disney Studio go to complete poop. Disney themselves has become bad and mostly makes lifeless live action remakes, Pixar lost themselves lost their magic and is just relying on horrible sequels with no heart, the MCU has become completely formulaic and soulless, and every Star Wars product feels like it was made to kill the franchise. Makes me wonder how bad the Fox properties will become.
Man it's almost been 5 years?! Disney you COULD have made a series like big hero 6 did or tangled. It would have had SO MUCH MATERIAL TO WORK WITH!! plus the characters work great in 2d from what we've seen from pencil tests the art book and a few of those kids picture books.
On the subject of Rapunzel, that's an issue in the show. Her dad & most of the kingdom see Flin Rider as the person who saved the princess & saw her as weak & incompetent
Dreamwork How to train your Dragon 2,Puss n Boots 2,Super Mario Movie, The kung fu, panda franchise, prince of Egypt and The sonic the hedgehog movies are way better than Ralph breaks the Internet and the Incredibles 2!
If I did the math correctly, in order to buy that steering wheel, Mr. Litwak would need Sugar Rush to have at least two people play it a day, every day of the year. If the arcade is only open on weekdays, and not weekends, it would need at least 3 people to play each day. If the arcade is closed on weekdays and only open on weekends, it would need at least 8 people per day. ...Pretty sure Sugar Rush would have more that 8 kids play it in one given day. Heck, in the first movie, Sugar Rush would have earned 18 quarters _at least_ in that day because of those two kids playing all 9 racers. ...Speaking of which, what happened to the second console/half of the console??? Sugar Rush was supposed to be multiplayer, but in Ralph Breaks the Internet, it seems to be single-player?
This is only a flaw of logic if you've never worked with an owner or a manager directly, they don't DO math. I worked for people who kept safety hazards like electrocuting fridges, shattered tile floors, and fridges with the doors broken off so they'd fall on you if you grazed them. People don't think about this shit, they just see a big upfront price tag and they're done. I 100% believe Liwak would rather ignore that problem than front the 200$.
Considering that Rich Moore left Disney after wrapping up this movie citing a desire for more creative freedom, I'm under the impression that the Disney higher-ups micromanaged the hell out of this movie.
Wouldn't surprise me. It seems all Disney does now is micromanage everything to death.
Not surprised, the higher ups seem to forget they have an insanely successful company because of creativity of their talent and micromanaging to the point where they leave the company is a great way to piss audiences off
😢That is terrible! Disney should stop micromanaging creativity out of people just to deliver political agendas on whatever, because that does not sell as well to the audience who hates seeing what they liked previously with everything they liked about it missing! That is what I call exitainment, which is the opposite of entertainment.
@@mangoeswithfudge5012 Did they all take stupid pills? Letting the creatives do their job without micromanaging them to death should be an easy recipe for success and money.
What makes it extra juicy is Rich Moore defected to Sony Pictures Animation.
Critics gave the Mario movie crap for being a “commercial” in their eyes yet they praised this movie which actually WAS one big commercial. 😑
That Disney scene was painful to watch, they didn’t acknowledge they’re underrated movies from the 2000’s and took away the possibility of seeing new video game cameos
Some doctoring of the reviews was involved back then. Disney was getting flack for it.
The Super Mario Movie at least didn't make all the characters into selfish or flanderized characters. Critics should have actually criticized this movie because the Super Mario Movie wasn't just flexing off all of their Nintendo stuff.
Oh My Disney was NOT the main focus of this sequel! Will you please calm down about that already? I thought Ralph Breaks the Internet was good because it was better at telling a more-focused storyline, instead of making the commercials and the products the main focus of the story. That is why The Emoji Movie and Space Jam: A New Legacy got so many negative reviews and Ralph Breaks the Internet not so much, although I will admit that achievement by itself is a very low bar to pass and does not excuse making Wreck-it Ralph and Vanellope into much bigger jerks than they were in the first Wreck-it Ralph film. I still can not see how Ralph Breaks the Internet was the opposite of the first Wreck-it Ralph film because Wreck-it Ralph and Vanellope were not entirely different people from who they were before, and three of the five writers and the director are the same as the first movie. They should understand their characters better than we do!
@@adampkalb too long didn't read. I think you need to chill out.
Scary idea: Disney decides to make a third one in the wake of Mario's success
This time they’re gonna try getting Mario back just to bring in the gold.
@@joshuaW5621 and Nintendo and even Sonic probably going to say NO THANK YOU. After both become successful in their own.
Honestly if Vanellope comes back to sugar rush for good I'd like a 3rd movie
If they did it how the writers planned the sequal to be, it might actually be quite decent. But considering how I think the executives were the writers for the second movie, I don't think that'll happen
If they did, I hope it would be like Sony re-releasing Morbius into theaters because of the meme, only for it to flop a second time.
The first movie left me leaving the theater really happy. However, when I saw the sequel, I dwelled in disappointment because of how mediocre and corporate it felt while throwing away everything that made the original great in my opinion. Sure, there are still a few redeeming qualities such as Spamley, Knowsmore, maybe the rick roll at the end, etc. But, the sequel will suffer for being too outdated with its depiction of the internet and its usage of memes that are long past their prime. The Oh My Disney section and any other social media reference completely takes me out of the film. Meanwhile, the original still retains its lingering sense of nostalgic quality to it since it's suppose to be a tribute to the golden age of videogames. The best part of the movie for me were the 8-bit end credits, complete with its kickass song titled "When Can I See You Again."
I actually enjoyed Ralph Breaks the Internet. The Emoji Movie lowered my expectations for this premise so much because I knew there was no way Wreck-it Ralph's writers would be that foolish to slow down the entire storyline with scenes on Candy Crush and Spotify that go absolutely nowhere. eBay and BuzzzTube and Oh My Disney do do things to serve the main plot of Ralph Breaks the Internet that could not just be cut out...but I see your point and Aldone's point that Ralph Breaks the Internet still comes with a whole host of other problems just to begin the entire storyline.
@@adampkalbmy memory is probably still cloudy from trying to forget the sequel, but when did the Oh My Disney website serve the plot and story? It just shoved in almost every single Disney property as fan service, especially that awful princess scene. You could cut out the Groot scenes and the princesses, and nothing would change.
@@tototats16 The princesses came back to save Wreck-it Ralph when he was falling after his insecurity virus monster disappeared.
@@adampkalb I think Ralph breaks the internet could have been better if it could have focused more on the aspects of online gaming or how arcade games are being replaced with more modern gaming devices. Even though I don't like this sequel and try to forget it even exists, it still oozes of missed potential.
@@carameilana4419 It also could have benefited from not turning the characters into absolute morons. Like Ralph and Venellope weren't brain geniuses in the first film, but they weren't outright dumb. They were of average intelligence, and at times clever, yet the sequel would have you believe thsee are different characters, or that the writers hated them.
In the first movie: Ralph does everything to help Vanellope AND he saved her game as well as her life from the evil bugs.
In this movie: Ralph puts a VIRUS in the internet because he's obsessed with his friend, ignoring Felix and his other friends which is rude. Also, he never felt guilty about that or appologises to the kid. Ralph is acting more like a villain not a hero!
His personality was completely destroyed. Thank's for making him annoying and cruel Disney 😐
Wreck-it Ralph was already a villain to begin. How else do you think Ralph Breaks the Internet could have Ralph act more like the villain he was designated to be, without destroying everything about his personality from the first film?
@@adampkalb It would make sense if this was just a bad film but because it is the sequel to a movie where a villain does redeem himself for being a "bad guy", it just shows that this was just bad writing. If he is meant to be a better person now, then why is he acting worse than in the first movie?
@@suspiciousstar7547 facts
If only Sonic knew about the Internet, how is he not extremely traumatized?
Because he’s carefree, he don’t have time for insignificant little stuff.
According to a deleted scene, Q*bert was traumatized by the internet.
So with that in mind, that's a really frigging good question.
@@Speed_311to be fair sonic has probably seen it all
Something I'm just realizing is Litwak said the game makes less than $200 per year...but not a few minutes before it's implied that the game has become exceptionally popular in the arcade due to Vanelope. Assuming the game costs a dollar to play and the arcade is open for 50 weeks a year (allowing two weeks for vacations), there would only be 4 players _per week._ If a game is sitting there unused like that, then there's no way he would keep it.
Another thing, in the original, the game has two seats so two people can play at the same time. In the sequel the game magically only has one.
Yeah...how does Stan Litwak just not have 200 dollars from Sugar Rush or any of his other arcade games combined to buy that steering wheel?
A racing game like that would easily be a toonie to play, ngl.
@@adampkalb Apparently, his name is "Del Litwak" now lol
@@jadecoolness101 Racing games are popular, I'm surprised that Sugar Rush would be doing so poorly. Granted it is "aimed" more at girls, because of the anime/Moe candy themeing, but that doesn't mean boys would be interested in it, especially with the option of dual racing. 😅
I really wish they just had Ralph been like an overprotective father, rather than a guy triple Vanellope's age being possessive over her.
Sure the movie would still have been ... awful. But at least people wouldn't have a weird ick about the way their relationship is portrayed. Instead of Ralph being a moron and just wanting to have fun with Vanellope, he could just be a bit of a father figure who doesn't know exactly how to comfort his figurative daughter who is going through something traumatic.
I remember someone bringing up a good point that it could have been that Ralph wants to go with tradition (No going Turbo, sticking to routine, etc.) but Vanellope could show a new generation questioning tradition and wanting to do something different in life.
I would love that! Because that's exactly how he acted in the 1st movie
And while this is cliched and a bit like what happened in the first film, Vanellope can learn how dangerous going turbo is and she'll learn how much she truly appreciates Sugar Rush. It would be a good message to send to kids coming of age and trying to establish their own identity and would fit with the themes of the first movie.
I went to see this with my friend, who at the moment was being stalked by an obsesive guy, this movie had really bad timing for us 😬we felt worse at the end of it
Questioning tradition is not crossing into North Korea butt naked

I like this idea better. You don't just abandon the people you're responsible for because you're bored. Instead why not improve what you have rather than dumping it entirely
Ralph Breaks The Internet is a perfect example of how to ruin a franchise. Instead of a great continuation to the original film, you watch a failure of what made the original special. The sub-plot of Vanellope finally realizing that despite how she's different from the other racers due to her glitch, she can be as good if not better is just ruined here.
Having her leave what she strived for all that time because "she was bored" made absolutely no sense and ruins her arc from the original film. Plus leaving your game by going "turbo" was portrayed as something selfish/negative but here it is shown as something as "I'm not like the other girls".
As for Ralph making him go from an anti-hero with a heart of gold to a man-baby obsessed with a child is just an uncomfortable transition. Don't even get me started with the Internet references over actual comedy since even the princess scene felt soulless as Disney was trying to modernize them by making fun of Merida (one of the only princesses who wasn't interested in men).
😖Oh, man! Am I the only person in the comments of this video who actually enjoyed some parts of Ralph Breaks the Internet and did not have it ruin or tarnish the first Wreck-it Ralph film for me, simply because I knew of Wreck-it Ralph being one of the movies The Emoji Movie ripped off and wanted to see how Ralph Breaks the Internet was better and more creative at what The Emoji Movie tried to do?
Perhaps my mom and I and Browntable were looking at Ralph Breaks the Internet with rose-colored glasses simply because we could not handle the possibility that a less obnoxious Emoji Movie with more creative visuals and animation and better-developed characters attached to it, could still be one of Disney's worst sequels of all time if we compared it more with Wreck-it Ralph than The Emoji Movie.
Isaac Carlson made an interesting case for why Vanellope joining Slaughter Race might not automatically make her as evil as Turbo like most of us think, but I still agree with your point that Ralph Breaks the Internet could have done something much better with Vanellope learning how she can make Sugar Rush more interesting for herself with her glitch powers, instead of ignoring the first Wreck-it Ralph movie's rule against game-jumping or Wreck-it Ralph making a new bonus track for her. Even though Sugar Rush missing its most popular racer, Princess Vanellope Von Schweetz might not be the end of the game's world like Fix-it Felix Jr. missing its villain or its hero, she should still not be ignorant of everybody in the game who likes racing with her, or everybody who plays the game and likes racing as her.
@@adampkalb nothing wrong with liking a movie other ppl dislike, so long as you’re able to acknowledge the flaws and like the parts that aren’t a problem. I’m the same. I like things that might have some good points amidst the flaws, and feel disappointed that it couldn’t have been done well (stuff like Kingdom Hearts, Security Breach, Epic Mickey).
Yo the thing with Merida pissed me off so much. Not because of the man thing, like if you learn what a fucking nightmare production Brave was and how they basically pushed the original writer out of her project it REALLY hits hard how they chose to make fun of her like she was crazy and stupid. Brave was ACTUALLY gonna be a movie about a young woman and her mother a premise that was inherently beautiful and without a man as a major plot point while still having the dad like no disrespect just FINALLY a focus on women. What did they do? Let a man take over the project and make it more shallow, shoving the actual artist to the sidelines. It was vile.
As a Scottish person, I usually like a bit of banter and people poking fun at us, the "Joke" of Merida wasn't even funny, they could have had her speak Gaelic, or speak a lot of Scottish slang, that would make sense and be somewhat funny, instead of her just spewing out a load of crap.
I've always hated the Disney Princess section. When Vanellope is like "Just be yourself," I just sighed because I knew where it was going.
She didn't want them to be themselves, she wanted them to be like her, with a t-shirt, a hoodie, and jeans. It didn't matter if those characters actually liked wearing dresses, or an archery outfit, and it didn't matter if they liked the various aspects of being a princess because they weren't 'being themselves' according to Vanellope.
A lot of girls like wearing makeup, and they like dressing up in colorful outfits, some guys do as well. It bugs me so much when I see movies tell those people "Dressing up in fancy outfits and wearing makeup is bad. You shouldn't wear makeup and dress yourself in t-shirts and jeans then spend all your free time playing video games and eating chips."
i'm not a huge fan of makeup, but if people want to wear make up, I let them wear make up

IF there was ever a rewrite of Ralph Wrecks the Internet, it should include Calhoun and Felix part of the adventure, or heck, even Sonic.
Ooh I’m interested is seeing this rewrite.
@joshuaW5621 Since Sonic knows so much about the internet apparently, I guess he'll assist Ralph and Vanalope about the dangers.
Calhoun and Felix need their own movie.
Ya know, I was working on a Ralph Sequel rewrite last week and that was one of the goals I had for it. In my story, Ralph, Vanellope, Felix, and Calhoun go to an online battle royale game (ex. Fortnite). Felix and Calhoun accidentally get into the character creator menu and create a character that looks like a fusion of the two. That character ends up coming into the game and treats Felix and Calhoun like parents. The real trouble of this side of the story comes from all the danger and shenangians the kid gets into while Felix and Calhoun's parental instincts kick into overdrive and the couple try to keep the kid out of danger, but to little success.
Right? I just rewatched Wreck it Ralph and it made me remember how much I loved and missed Felix and Calhounen.
This movie should've been about the rift between vintage arcade games and modern gaming. Have Litwak's grandson or nephew take over the arcade, or have characters from online games wander in to the arcade.
This! All of these. What a waste of a sequel.
I'll be honest.. this movie made me REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE when i saw it in the cinema. Ralph sabotaging his best friend's happiness selfishly, acting like a huge baby, clinging to vanelope and not letting her go, it was like a psychological horror 😭😭😭!!! Really gave Ralph bad ick vibes because their relationship in the first movie felt very Stern Awkward Uncle and carefree kid niece! I really loved their dinamic but THIS Ralph just gave me the creeps
I was actually rooting for vanelope to GET AWAY FROM RALPH and was relieved when she did!!!! Ralph was such a villain in this movie Dx
And not the likeable misunderstood kind like he's supposed to be!
Jesus Christ how fragile are you? The film was ridiculous, but your comment was worse.
Stern awkward uncle figure to Venalope is the best description to Ralph as a character, and these two in the sequel felt like a shell of their former selves.
Vanelope was ruined too in this movie and went turbo putting her game and the characters inside in danger, she is selfish brat.
Every time they said “e-boy” I cried a little more inside
Disney saw how good the first one was and immediately thought, “Let’s make a second one and immediately drain all the life and passion out of it. It’s foolproof.”
And completely destroy our own Princess line without even trying... NO let's go even FURTHER and make it a SELLING POINT for the trailers...
I do not understand. Three of Ralph Wrecks the Internet's writers are the same people who wrote the first movie! How could Phil Johnston, Rich Moore and Jim Reardon suddenly forget what was great about the first Wreck-it Ralph?
Did they all take stupid pills that morning, or did they want us to hate Ralph Breaks the Internet? There is no point in making more money by making another one, when you eliminate all of your selling points by deliberately taking out what other people liked about Wreck-it Ralph because you do not know how to do anything new with them that is consistent with their characters, as if you want to write a different story entirely, for a different audience entirely, but are too lazy to come up with a different property for it.
Do all of you critics and commenters seriously think you can write a better Ralph Breaks the Internet sequel than Phil Johnston, Rich Moore and Jim Reardon, the same writers who wrote Wreck-It Ralph AND Ralph Breaks the Internet?
Everything wrong with Ralph Brakes the Internet:
- The title should have been ''Ralph Wreckes the Internet''. They even lampshade it in the movie. ''What I'm doing is stupid and wrong but I'm gonna do it anyway. Bringing attention to it somehow will make it okay.'' Stop doing it! It's like waving a red flag in front of the bull. But instead of the bull, it's the audience and the red flag are the plotholes. Chances were a lot of people wouldn't even have noticed but now that you mentioned it they can't stop thinking about it!
- Disney is just flexing how many IPs they own.
- The portrayal of the Internet and how it works is just stupid, wrong, and even dangerous.
- You can become famous and make millions on youtube in just a day by making only short ( I mean a couple of seconds) videos.
- ''Never look at the comments.'' Because people who criticize you are haters! It's not like they might have some valid criticism! Or that majority of comments are usually nice, especially if you make just funny innocent content as Ralph did. And given how popular he became I guess like 99% of the comments are positive.
- Name-dropping freaking Dark Web in a movie for kids! Name it something else!
- Ralph being clingy is so forced! It doesn't feel natural. The ending of how he just spells the message out. It was only missing him staring right into the camera!
- Vanellope goes Turbo!
- Other characters don't do anything.
- How on Earth are those copyrighted characters allowed to show up on the internet and in other games without getting copyright strikes? I can understand Ralph. People probably think someone animated funny videos with a video game character. But how on earth is Veneloppe supposed to bland in the slaughter race? She's not some random extra but the main character of her own game! And she completely doesn't blend in with the style of her new game.
Did I miss anything?
The utter abomination that are the Disney Princesses... The fact that the way they were portrayed in the movie LITERALLY misses the point of MOST of the characters OWN movies...

Ralph reads the thousands of comments about how he is "bad" and is apparently sad. We are supposed to feel bad for him.
Compare that to the first movie when Vanellope says between sobs, "You really are a bad guy."
One of those scenes will give the audience an emotional reaction. The other will not.
First movie: Ralph does something selfish that makes vanellope cry (Ralph's a jerk moment) but he then feels bad and fixes the problem

Calhoun and Felix were too adorable in the first movie for them to be wasted like this :(

They made sweet innocent Taffyta into a lobotamized crybaby
As for someone who really adored the original film of Wreck-It-Ralph, I hope they don't ruin the other movies with sequels they have in mind. When Disney announced sequels to Inside Out and Zootopia, I screamed, not in joy but in fear for what Disney has ruined with their sequels.
As someone who also loves Zootopia, I am hoping they don't ruin the original film due to retcons and horrible writing :(
Same here😰
I have a bad feeling about Zootopia 2. If it has any ham-fisted messages about police brutality, then it could start problems with rewriting main characters to fit the conflict that will be more obvious for people to notice than Ralph Breaks the Internet.
I feel like they'll just separate nick and judy at the end because they did that 3 times
I personally thought Zootopia and Inside Out ended on a good note. To where I didn't believe a sequel was needed because both films did their job telling a satisfying story from start to finish. Not only do I dread for the upcoming sequels of the films Disney announced. But it makes my skin crawl thinking how they might ruin the originals with their sequels.
I think you guys need to chill out. Sure this film was bad, but we shouldn't immediately assume the worst for all the upcoming sequels, because they might actually end up being really good! In fact, I actually wouldn't mind those sequels being made if they're done right.
When this movie first came out - and people were reacting rather positively to it - all I could think of is that this is literally the Emoji Movie but for disney properties.
I thought Ralph Breaks the Internet was not as bad as The Emoji Movie! Besides, I can not stay too mad at the Oh My Disney scene when it takes up far less time than the WB server-verse in Space Jam: A New Legacy and Ralph Breaks the Internet had a bigger variety of locations to visit outside of Oh My Disney.
Tbf...you right lmao.
Everyone praised even to the point having an argument with people who did get the message.
Like I get frustrated at them on how much do they know about the first movie.
Because the first movie is supposedly being "the blueprint" of the cure of video game movie curse. I remember how well received by videogame community when the first trailer came out. And speculating how the director will expand the videogame world in wreck it Ralph sequel.
But then ... It's just went downhill for no reason
@@sentrogaspers9813 Right??? I literally argued with some people over how nonsensical the whole internet instant fame bs was. "But it happens!" Yeah, it happens, but it's rare and the fact that you had Ralph get famous by some miracle just ruins any potential tension in the story.
I love how they teach children that scetchy, suspicious pop-up adds are just misunderstood and actually really nice things can make you a lot of money.
DreamWorks still knows how to make great sequel nowadays like Shrek 2, Kung Fu Panda 2, How To Train Your Dragon 2 and the most recently one that being Puss In Boots The Last Wish.

@@rommix0
All you really need to do is compare him to who he was in _Shrek 2._ He was not as calculating as the Fairy Godmother, but he was driven, had a goal to strive for, and contributed to his mother’s plan, even throwing her displaced magic wand into her hands during the climax.
In _Shrek the Third,_ Prince Charming is still driven and still striding toward his goal in the last film, but without his mother to be an anchor for his plans, he was not competent enough to execute them well. His portrayal in that movie was not damaging to his character; it only reinforced that he was a bad stand-alone villain.
Comparing him to Death is redundant because Death was in a completely different league and served his role in that narrative in a much different way.

You were teasing us about this review, weren't you? If so, thank you for delivering. Wreck-It-Ralph was my favorite Disney film of all time.

"Never read the comments" This is actually what Disney practices since they never learn from their criticisms.
I'll never understand why this movie got praised and the emoji movie got panned. You could argue this is a worse movie. It's not funny (neither was the emoji movie but still), it's just an ad for Disney, it sends harmful messages to kids, and it ignores the already established rules.
Obviously the emoji movie sucks but I hated every minute of Ralph breaks the internet and I at least kinda like that one water fountain sence from the emoji movie
I agree. The Emoji Movie is overhated for what Ralph breaks The Internet does WAY worse. The Emoji Movie is just mid while the latter just ruins every good thing that could have redeemed it from one of the worst sequels ever.
If the emoji movie came out of Disney, a lot of Disney adults would treat it like it’s a masterpiece.
😭What? I actually thought Ralph Breaks the Internet was much better than The Emoji Movie because it did not have as much filler, and it found a more creative, less generic way to do this type of story that took a risk by daring to make us question if it was possible for a character to move to another video game without actually becoming as evil as Turbo himself.

@@pinealdreams1064 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But what really annoys me is how the movie tries so hard to ignore the most important rule from the first movie. DO NOT GO TURBO. And when you think about it, the characters actually went turbo in the sequel compared to the original. In the first movie, Ralph really never went turbo, as he was just trying to get a metal as fast as possible and came back before anyone else find out he was missing, everything he was dealing with in Sugar Rush was more of him getting sidetracked.
In the sequel, Ralph and especially Vanel actually went turbo by interfering with the gamer, leaving their games in bright daylight, having Vanel selfishly leaving her game and everyone behind to fulfill her selfish needs, and never even telling or saying good bye to them anyway.
It really annoys me when a movie or a show is covering certain topics, but when doing so, they have to assassinate the characters, make the characters unlikable, and when there are more valid points to be made and look into or rules that were set up in the previous installment, they purposely ignore it because the writers knows about that but to make their point clear to fit their story they chose to ignore it.
Correction, Ralph DID go Turbo in the first movie and he DID get caught missing by a gamer. The difference? It was actually treated as a bad thing there, and Ralph came back before the game got unplugged.

The steering wheel part I can understand. I know people who have home arcades and barcade businesses and buy and restore old arcade cabinets. This kind of part for an arcade is pretty specialized. You can't just go out and buy another unless the game was REALLY popular and aftermarket suppliers make reproductions. Usually the only source is the manufacturer, and if they've gone out of business or no longer make the part owners are left either cannibalizing old machines or hoping new old stock from a warehouse or barn find shows up on eBay. If a broken game isn't bringing in enough to warrant buying a replacement part they'll cut it.
That being said, this movie is an abomination. I can think of dozens of better plotlines for a sequel to Wreck-It Ralph.
Yeah like in the wake of an computer game rather than the internet itself as a whole, that is a way better concept as a whole had it may have similar concept to Arcade only you don’t need a token to do it… actually since Arcade had a card to play it in place of token, maybe they’ll take it a step further since they modernize it.
Ralph is straight up drunk throughout the whole movie
I keep trying think of how this movie could be better, but I can never do it. Finally, I've found out why: it's fundamentally broken and impossible to make ANYTHING in this movie make sense.
Terrible plot aside, I rarely go to see movies in theatres, but when this came out I took my best friend to watch it since we loved the first one, and we needed to have some fun since she was stressed about a guy who had been stalking her, hence the reason she was staying at my place, let's say that Ralph's behaviour in the movie didn't help with that and we walked out of the theatre feeling worse.
When I went to see this movie in theatres, everyone was mumbling about how horrible the movie was as they left. Not a single person was happy with it. Contrast that to the first movie where I saw kids cheering about how great it was and the parent's smiling. The first film was good.
I hated that in the second one they made them friends like…if they were the same age which no. In the first Ralph talked to her like a actual kid and I remember it really made me happy because it gave me the feeling of a father and daughter relationship. And him being proud of her in the end was so sweet. The second one completely ruins it making it extremely creepy and clingy.
Pocahontas Mulan and Moana are in the princess scene because they are part of the official Disney Princess brand, princess to Disney is not just a title it's a brand that their female characters, whether actually royalty or not get included in based on specific categories created for the brand. Anna and Elsa are there because even tho they aren't in the official brand Disney knows people see them as part of it
They still shafted Esmeralda and Kida 😡
@@silverscorpio24 Even Meg from Hercules.
And the scene still sucked.
Technically.....Venellope is a princess. A princess in a disney movie.
She should have been in the princess scene already.
A side note that I can't put anywhere else: People say the princess scene assassinates all the character princesses and basically devalues what they do in their own respective films. Like the "big strong man saves the day" line from Rapunzel, or Cinderella breaking her glass slipper to use as a makeshift weapon, despite how much it meant to her.( I ironically find that joke to be one of the best in this movie). But it dawned on me that the princesses actually aren't supposed to act like they did in the movie. Look at Ralph, for example. Does he act like Wreck it Ralph from Fix it Felix Jr.? No. Ralph has a heart in the first movie and isn't the villain despite being coded in his game to be a villain. We see this at the Bad-Anon meeting.
So the princess scene makes more sense when you think of their respective movies as their job, and not their life like it was portrayed in their movies. So, them all acting like stereotypical girls during a sleepover isn't that bad of an idea. it was just poorly executed.
I'm going to say something incredibly controversial: The Emoji Movie did its job as a film better than Ralph Breaks the Internet.
That's because Sony was behind it. They've proven with Spider-Verse that they at least try to make a good movie even if the story or concept ain't necessarily sound.
@@rommix0 Oh, I'm not giving the Emoji Movie credit with my statement. That film is a waste of time filled with nothing but ads for phone apps. But at least it doesn't desecrate an established world and great original characters like Ralph Breaks the Internet did. Ralph Breaks the Internet is worse than the majority of Disney DVD sequels, even with its massive advantage in the animation quality department.
I hear ya, at least that movie didn’t mess up a pre-established and beloved franchise.
It’s actually amazing how they took a movie that was absolutely rife with potential for a sequel, and sucked out everything and anything that made it good and turned it into a soulless product designed to market a brand, how how little they know about the topic that they’re writing about, and butcher every character to the point where they don’t remotely feel like the ones from the first!
I'm thinking about writing some Wreck-it Ralph fanfiction of what I would make the sequel about. It'd focus on Vanellope and her friends. The theme of the movie would be that sometimes there are obstacles in life and we must adapt to triumph over them. I would treat the characters and the viewers with respect unlike Disney.

The first movie is my favorite Disney movie of all time and the sequel disappointed me greatly. It took a huge dump on what made the last movie special. If they make a third Wreck it Ralph, we can only hope it shifts its focus back to video games rather than the internet and not just be a huge Disney commercial of Disney owned properties like the last movie.
That was still a very small point of focus compared to how it was done in Space Jam: A New Legacy. I at least enjoyed the plot and the journey of Ralph Breaks the Internet more because it does not waste 8 minutes in Candy Crush or Spotify.
I wish they'd just ask me to write the plot because I'm a huge fan of Vanellope von Schweetz and I'd actually show the characters respect.
@@adampkalb yeah, the emoji movie is way worse and it's fine if you liked Ralph breaks the internet. I for one, hate the movie with a burning passion.
Not only that, but they make a 3rd movie I really jope they retcon Ralph, Vanellope, and all the other characters to how they were in the original.
at first, I hated the movie because of how unsettling and creepy the ralph clone scenes at the end were. now, I hate the movie as a whole because of the creepy end scenes AND how cringy, illogical and unmemorable it is. this movie is a hot mess. the producers literally wrecked the movie.
One of the worst things about this movie is the removal of the second seat in Sugar Rush. Even if Ralph gone turbo, even in Vanellope gone rogue, even if Litwak was stupid enough to break it, none of that would've mattered because they could've just used the second seat and the game would work perfectly as normal, but they got rid of it for plot convenience.
Also another thing that bugs me is how Vanellope manages to leave Sugar Rush in her normal fit. By the rules of the first movie, the only way to leave Sugar Rush at all is to have her princess getup on so the plug doesn't mistake her as a glitch and its been fully established that her normal outfit is still the glitchy one.
Nope, go watch the first movie again. The code was repaired at the end so that she could leave at any point in time. She even got to keep her glitch ability and all of her friends regained their memories. The outfit has no actual impact in the story.
@@Hauntaku nah cuz like. She was able to leave the game at the end, she just had to wear the princess fit, aka Felix & Calhoun's wedding where it doubled as her "best clothes". In her monologue at the end, its shown she is able to glitch in the hoodie inside sugar rush, but is unable to in the dress, making it okay for her to leave the game, only with that outfit on, or at least not with the hoodie at all. The second movie ignores that completely. Also everyone remembered her as a princess at the end, not a tomboy.
@@solstie 'its shown she is able to glitch in the hoodie inside sugar rush, but is unable to in the dress, " literally the first thing she does in the dress is glitch, while inside of it, to get OUT of it, and into her preferred outfit. She's been restored completely into the code, she is a character inside of her game and finally recognized as one, it doesn't matter what she's wearing. She functions like everyone else.
I calculated how much money sugar rush would be getting per year based on the owner saying the game makes less than 200 dollars in that time. I based the cost per game as one quarter to account for the cheapest the game could be. To make 200 dollars, you'd need at least 800 games played, which sounds like a lot until you realize that if he's open every single day of the year, he only needs 2 people to play the game. And if you exclude weekends, he only needs 3 people to play it daily. If it's not getting at least 3 people a day on average, then unless he became really unrelivent in 6 years then he should unplug the game since he probably couldn't pay for its space and electricity.
I also don't understand how Vanellope is seen as favorited character in Sugar Rush but the writers make her leave. If that's the case litwak should just unplug the game entirely after that.
@@briamari9035 it's like Mario leaving Mario cart
Other than all your "boomer" ranting, I completely agree. I despise Ralph Breaks the Internet. It's one of the only movies I came out of the theater mad at and had so much negative thoughts about. Our cosplay group was asked to do the premiere and we had such high hopes for it, but most of us came out hating it.
As someone who is trying to make an animated pilot that takes place in the internet, I use this movie as an example of what not to do.
Good luck on that pilot bro

There is a reason sonic knows about the internet.
Some of the requirements that makes a character a Disney princess is one who make the most money, is the main character of the film and has their name in the title
This movie scored 88% on rotten tomatoes but super Mario bros movie scored 58% (so far) yet I strongly disagree with critics with both movies 😡
That's because Disney were doctoring up the reviews for Rotten Tomatoes. They were getting flack for it back then especially with Last Jedi.
Eh, the mario movie really isnt that good. The only reason somebody would like it is because of nostalgia or their child wants to watch it. The mario movie was basically wreck it, ralph breaks the internet ,but with no plot.
Never listen to Rotten Tomatoes because they own TicketMaster.
@@rommix0 gumball icon
@@smurgerburger At least the Mario Movie didn't ruin or flanderized its characters like Ralph Breaks the Internet did. Or add themes and messages that are completely dangerous and harmful to kids
The former is just a perfectly fine film, albeit safe and boring at worst. While the latter tarnishes everything that made its predecessor incredible.
In my opinion the wreck-it ralph franchise is one the most mistreated franchises that disney has. It's not as bad as with treasure planet or atlantis, but still.. bad. How they didn't make a new sugar rush kart videogame, how they didn't make as much merch as they would for every other movie (yes even before frozen) and with the second movie... i loved it. But i loved it as a hurt fan who mainly loved the graphics and was excited to see any marketing for a franchise that was already half buried by then.
I'm sure many of us will always prefer the first Wreck It Ralph film over Ralph Breaks the Internet right?
No I think Wreck It Ralph 2 is better than the first movie
You know what makes it worse? There are deleted Scenes where Ralph and Vanellope stumble upon the defunct Disney Infinity servers and many of the Disney Infinity members who were abandoned by Disney when they shut down the servers, which I feel would have served a parallel to how Ralph and Q'Bert interacted in the first movie...
I mean, seriously, we could have had a _better_ plot line where rather than Ralph acting like a ManBaby and Vanellope acting like a Stuck-Up, we could have had many of the Infinity characters be angry at how they were "Replaced and abandoned" (Which they pretty much were), and basically try to go Full Turbo on the more "Popular" characters, which would result in the catastrophic event at the end anyway, only based on the members of Disney Infinity that still bear a grudge at being abandoned, and how the "Popular" Disney Attractions effectively caused their Server to be lost.
I mean, it would have been cool to see a Sort of Civil War be sparked between the Disney Infinity characters, as Ralph and Vanellope were also supposed to interact with the Infinity Characters as well, which meant we could have had more than mere cameo appearances, but also had fully interacted scenes between them.
It would be way better if the Story, rather than going from Vanellope going from being brainwashed by Spoiled Disney Princesses straight back to Slaughter Race, we had Vanellope encounter the Defunct Disney Infinity servers, and see the darker side of the Glitz and Glammor she was first shown... And perhaps, even have a scene where she is given a Ralph and Q'Bert moment, where she sees a rather sad group of Infinity Characters (A Good idea would be Robin Hood, as he was a playable character in Disney infinity, and his Film was a Cult Classic that was not very well known beyond... Well, Furries), and she shows how much she'd learned from Ralph, by giving them something to eat, much like Ralph did with Q'Bert.
It would show how much Ralph meant to Vanellope (I see their relationship as more "Intergenerational Friendship" or a "Big Bro/Little Sis" relationship, rather than anything romantic, so drop all the weird talk) that his good will had rubbed off on her... And I can see Ralph turning up, looking for Vanellope, sees the state of the Defunct infinity Servers and has a momentary flashback to his time back when he was effectively a Pariah to the Nicelanders.
I can actually see the plotting of the more grudgeful Disney Infinity members that would eventually lead to the big climax, and Ralph, upon finding out, tries to stop them, trying to convince them that he can help... And only finally getting to the one leading the Infinity Rebellion, when he flat out tells them "I know what its like!", in a similar vein to Colonel O'Neil in Stargate SG-1, Window of Opportunity.
Then again, the idea was likely abandoned for the same reason Cars 3's Ending was changed (That rather than McQueen joining Dinoco, we have... That ending.), And that was because "We cannot make Disney or any Corpo similar in Work Ethics to Disney, look bad"... Nevermind that Disney already has done a good job showing how bad they have become anyway, without trying to.
_Ralph Breaks the Internet,_ was the Disney sequel that literally…..(ugh) I don’t know what to make of this sequel, it’s like _Muppets Most Wanted_ but much more flanderized and doesn’t have the heart and soul of the first _Wreck-It Ralph_ and frankly I felt bewildered and betrayed by _Ralph Breaks the Internet_ especially during the end of the film, because literally Ralph and Vanellope’s personality turn a whole 360 in the sequel compared to their personalities from the first movie. Ralph who acted as humble, kind hearted gentle giant from the first film just became a selfish, clingy, and malicious jerk with most of his actions being done for the wrong reasons, Vanellope who was the mischievous, snarky racer just became very selfish and very immature while at the same time ends up being the one "Going TURBO" and because of their personalities being the opposite of who they were from the first film, it literally turned me off from this movie, along with the fact many of the side characters like Felix and Calhoun were sidelined and felt unimportant to the movie. Even the new characters introduced (Knowsmore, Yesss, and Shank) and the scenes of Vanellope with the Disney Princesses weren’t enough to save this film.
If I had a guess regardless if Phil Johnston, Rich Moore and Jim Reardon returned from the first movie one of them decided to have the sequel take a different turn and at the same time, turn a 360 by flanderizing Ralph and Vanellope’s personality and it’s one of the reasons why I prefer watching the first _Wreck-It Ralph_ over this film. Frankly if I was in a room and had a choice between _Ralph Breaks the Internet_ _Home on the Range_ and _Chicken Little_ and had to pick two from Disney Animation’s mediocre films I would choose the latter two over the former, and if I was in a room and had a choice between a bad animated sequel from Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, Illumination and had to choose one I would watch _Shrek the Third_ over _Ralph Breaks The Internet._
Wow. Muppets Most Wanted really was that bad? That movie came and went without a trace while this movie did likewise but is still talked about for how bad it is.
@@rommix0 Well compared to the 2011 Muppets film, it lacked the heart and soul of it’s predecessor and relied too much on comedy and flanderization, and that’s fine, the Muppets are known for their comedy, but that film was literally a giant step backwards to the 2011 film. Even the opening song of _Muppets Most Wanted_ kind of betrayed and undermined the film’s ending when Walter, Gary’s younger Muppet brother ended up joining the Muppets.
To it’s credit I would rather watch that over _Ralph Breaks the Internet_
The Princess scene sucked ruined their characters.
I'd rather watch The Minions 5 times instead of watching Ralph Breaks the Internet even once more.
They literally HEARD Mr.Lipwhack say $200 for the wheel was too expensive and they STILL bid those ridiculous numbers, they weren't that stupid in the first movie this movie was just braindead
They don't understand how bidding works
“Lipwhack” I love it.
I felt like this movie was made by people who don't actually use the internet on a regular basis. The passion and knowledge from the first film was not at all present in the second.
6:10 what really bothers me about this is how there’s only one console where in the first movie it was two games as to be a multiplayer game. They literally got rid of one of the consoles without any explanation to push this plot into motion.
I remember how hype I was for a SEQUEL to Wreck it Ralph.......the possibilities of IDEAS.........Ralph arcades vs Console Game...Online Games been introduce, maybe a MARIO cameo (now in hindsigh I understand why Nintendo didn't gave permission to Disney, well done NINTENDO), How many new make up games could be feature as well how many more videogames references and cameos they could add, and continuing the story, the concept of going TURBO, sooo many ideas.................then Disney release the trailer, it should be a RED FLAG but I was.....you know what, is DISNEY, They still where producing great films at that time so....I TRUST THEM....they release the first trailer, not get me not even a bit excited, the second seeing a DISNEY PRINCESS crossover (and Idea I actually would have love to see done in a SOLO film for that premise not here) get me a little excited.........then I saw the film........................I was I think 36 years old....I only have watch before that film 2 other movies that make me ANGRY.....Iron Man 3 and Transformers Dark of the Moon......but man did I was ANGRY after watching this one in particular, because how much I LOVE the first one, this one was not just a let down of major proportions, this was a film that destroyed everything good the first film did, destroyed all the world building, destroyed all secondary characters relevancy, demolished the intelligent of all characters, erased the concept of going Turbo so that was never explore again, and worst than all....destroyed...no, ASSASINATED the characters of Ralph and Vanellope, making them almost irrecognizable, and so unlikable and worst, SO DUMB AND STUPID specially RALPH, this was the film that make me start seeing the forced FEMALE EMPOWERMENT agenda that is driven Disney to bankruptcy, the first time was OBVIOUS and in your FACE, making a previously naive but competent male protagonist that was interesting, and relatable into a douche, man baby, needy and greedy, and pervy almost uncomfortable to see how he feel like he own VANELLOPE....but Van was not much better, knowing how bad going Turbo almost destroyed her home, just to her copy what the villain of the first film did and be rewarded for her actions (you know because if a MALE do it is bad, but if a woman does the same is GOOD....no double standard at all).....and the story was just THE EMOJI MOVIE 2.0, how we go from Videogames to....product placement and DISNEY cameos and references? we all wanted Mario or Cloud or any game character to appear, not only we get nothing of that (just reuse the same cameos we got in the first one) and instead they put, MARVEL and STAR WARS and DISNEY PRINCESSES?.....And logos and product placement of Amazon, Ebay, Facebook, Twitter, You Tube....like WTF?.....I hate this movie and I'm so happy, different to other films that failed to have an audience but in time became beloved classics.....this one is having the polar opposite, was a hit that was "well receive" by critics the year that release, but in time, have become one of the most hated films ever made, every new video I found of this film is literally negative on the story and characters, instead of a positive video, and sadly is well deserved......the only bad downside, is that....now days I not like to re watch the original, because I know where it will go after and, is sad, makes that BEAUTIFUL final scene, MEANS NOTHING NOW, you can't see that tear jerking scene and feel anything now, knowing that in the sequel, Vanellope will go Turbo and Ralph will separate from her, her friendship ruined for no reason at all, and that to me, is the worst offense this sequel did, in retrospective, RUIN the first film, and is not a case like Terminator 1 and 2 that most fans will say, it ENDED IN 2 and the rest is just fan fiction at best..........no this is canonically how the story went, is the same team, writers, animation studio, voice cast, everything was back, to give us the worst possible sequel, anyone could imagine. and that is unforgivable.
I just pretend this sequel doesn’t exist.
honestly, i just pretend wreck it ralph is a standalone film and try to come up with my own sequel for it
The only thing they did right was how creative the internet was portrayed as it’s really cool a huge city, Twitter being a tree with the birds it’s really cool but they ruined the rest
They should just contact me to write a sequel for Wreck-it Ralph. First order of business: Erase "Ralph Breaks the Internet" from the timeline. Let's forget this mess ever happened.
I am not sure if it is a good idea to just forget that ever happened, when you could write a new story about all of the trouble Vanellope faces as a consequence of choosing to abandon Sugar Rush.
There is a fanfic called It's a Slaughterful Life that addresses all the problems of this movie. I loved it.
I, too, did not laugh once during Ralph Breaks the Internet, save for ONE background gag. The scene where Ralph hits the "bottom" of the internet, and you see a broken down name plate for Geocities made me crack up, but then cry because I miss the pure patched together, home grown websites that humans made on geocities.
Question - have you checked neocities? Like, Geocities is dead, but it doesn't mean people didn't found a way to create neat sites
@@flowerheart2054 neocities is so fun to use. I hope more people find out about it eventually.
This is the first Disney movie I've seen in the theaters that I didn't like it in the end - its that bad 👎👎👎👎👎 What infuriated me the most is the ending where Vanelloppe betrayed her fellow Sugar Rush subjects and moved to Slaughter Race meaning that she went Turbo, which is exactly what Turbo did in the first movie, except that this movie treats it as a good thing unlike the first movie where going Turbo is a bad thing 😠
Did Vanellope actually destroy Slaughter Race or intend to do that?
@adamkalb1 No, but however she doesn't even seem to care in the slightest about how her actions are gonna doom both Sugar Rush and Slaughter Race in the long run.
28:24 So what about the Ending of the previous movie where they added those homeless video game characters into Fix it Felix Jr?
Wreck it Ralph 2: The Emoji Movie
that title is really clever-
you know when you think about it vanellope time in slaughter race will be pretty short live eventually someone playing it will recognize her from sugar rush which will get the attention of the sugar rush developers who will possibly lead them to sue the slaughter race developers for having one of their characters which would lead to the game getting shut down or have vanellope code remove from the game
They probably would just see it as a glitch caused by the Wreck-it Ralph virus and then they's collab to keep her as a character because of her being the best character in Wreck-it Ralph. Either way, Ralph Breaks the Internet is a horrible film.
I’m starting to really fkn hate Disney, like how does a company with a monopoly on the animation industry screw up this bad.
Sonic was the Only Good thing in this Movie
True.
This was the day when Disney truly became the greedy company we know them as today.
If you saw how much lazier WB was in Space Jam: A New Legacy, you might never complain about Ralph Breaks the Internet again.
Nah. That started with Last Jedi
They've been like that since the 2000s with the disneytoon sequels, they just got worse and worse over the years.
Disney gave up in the 80s
Honestly, this was a warning of how bad things were gonna get with Disney. Commercialism and mass marketing above all else and at the cost of all else
nowadays weather its disney or pixar its like all these seqauls are 90s disney vhs seqauls disguise
Literally 90% of their films nowadays feel like the cheapquels.
A better rewrite would’ve been that somehow venellope going turbo opens the world of cross over characters in other games.
That wouldn't solve anything. You'd have more of the IPs wanking sessions from both Disney and the video game companies. That don't make it any better.
How did venellope even leave her game
Also, if the game developers discover venellope in the racing internet game, they can legit just delete her ._.
Literally so easily
Maybe Vanellope is supposed to represent mods in games?
Seriously, WHAT THE HELL happened with this movie? They were on the right track with online gaming then corporate got involved and made this a kiss-ass movie. This was the beginning of the end. Progressive nonsense was shoved into this. What's worse is that *VANELLOPE NEVER APOLOGIZED.* It was NEVER Ralph's fault, IT WAS HERS. She's the one who was getting *BORED* of her game so Ralph *OUT OF THE KINDNESS OF HIS HEART* made her a new track. But no, they have to let Vanellope *GO TURBO* because modern feminism.
It wasn't progressive nonsense. It was bad writing. Don't be using this movie to justify your bigoted world view.
Why this review is better than the actual movie
1. The title for this review has Ralph "wrecking" the internet rather than "breaking" it.
It's not so much about Ralph Breaking the internet but how the creators broke him and Vanellope... He is nothing like himself from the first film, and she is nothing like herself from before either. Those two are not the same characters we got from the first film. It is such a huge screw up.
Why is Disney so bad at making sequels that were supposed to be good, but they're not?
What's even worse is that Mario is not there in the movie, they promised that Mario would be in the sequel, but no. At least Sonic is there and thank God for The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
At least Ralph Breaks The Internet is better than The Emoji Movie.
Dude, even the Emoji movie is slightly better than Ralph Breaks The Internet imo. At least they didn't have great characters to ruin to begin with. The Emoji Movie was just mid but Ralph Breaks The Internet was just awful due to it ruining the original film.
Mario wasn’t in the movie because of Ilumination

@@suspiciousstar7547 FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS IT!!
I don't know about you, but as bad as that film was, I would still take it over a bastardized sequel that not only shits all over the original, but simultaneously portrays the internet horribly. Yeah The Emoji Movie had that stupid ending with the phone deleting logic not making any sense, but at least it's not as bad as all the BuzzTube and Oh My Disney shit.
I heard that Mario didn’t make an appearance because Disney’s contract with Nintendo expired during production or something. It still felt like a slap in the face
Vanellope said things were too predictable/wanted to experience more thrill, but maybe she was just too good and got bored of doing everything perfectly. Could she have trained the other racers to be as good as her to spice up each race instead of abandoning all of them to…do things themselves? (They needed a leader, right?) If the racers were able to compete with her, it might’ve been a fun competition again, no matter the course, right?
Better yet, just change the game instead of moving to a different game. Also, bored after 26 years? What about the first few years? This movie made no sense.
tbh the worst failing of this movie is just how much product placement is in..... it feels like its trying to be a story that happens in our world
The only good things about this movie is spamly,knowsmore,and the dark web
Every bad thing of this film stupid ralph, character assassination, bad plot,bad villain,ruined ralph and velnope friendship, and more
The Disney Princesses were the only good thing about this film. And barely, at that.
This movie contradicted the turbo argument really bad.
And I don't like the way they drastically changed Shank's style. I liked her when she behaved as a hipster, street rogue gangster. Then she starts skipping around like she's a pink princess unicorn from over the rainbow. Don't get me wrong, I like unicorns and the rainbow but I also like that realistic gangster persona with certain personalities in certain characters.
This movie is my least favorite movie of all time. I hate how it ruins the first movie if regarded as even semi-cannon. It makes no goddamn sense, and why the fuck did they make Ralph creepy? That may be the most egregious error on their end. They butchered every character, but they butchered Ralph the worst.
Also, I don't agree with the claim that the princess scene was the one good thing. Even the princesses weren't in character! It was incredibly apparent marketing to the point of insult.
A better sequel could have been one where the arcade faces the threat of shutdown, maybe they could've lost in the end and it could've had a message about how everything ends (or maybe a message on change that puts Toy Story 4 to shame). Or, better yet, no sequel! Have the characters actually be in character and don't give everyone the idiot ball, or maybe just don't.
Evidently, this movie was a cash-grab by every stretch of the word. Its entire purpose was to garner sponsorships, it had no shame.
I just wish they put even an iota of care into it.
Plot twist: This movie takes place in the Cyberpunk universe and Rache Bartmoss used Ralph to wreck the internet 💀
The movie should’ve been another character goes turbo and goes into the internet. This somehow affects Ralph and venellope and they need to track him down. They need to get the character back in the game before sun rise. Idk
Headcanon: His name is Del Litwack instead of Stan Litwack because this movie takes place in an alternate universe of Wreck it Ralph where everything is worse.
I would call this the Worst Sequel of all time, but movies like Star Wars the Last Jedi, and Toy Story 4 exists lol
Toy Story 4 was more unnecessary than it was downright unwatchable. Ralph Breaks The Internet and The Last Jedi are both abominable.
@@jackflynn412 Imo, Toy Story 4's level of character assassinations are on par with the character assassinations seen in both TLJ and Ralph Breaks the Internet. Woody, Buzz, Bo, and the others were all wholly unrecognizable.
For example, the scene in the beginning where Woody almost leaves with Bo Peep takes place very shortly after Toy Story 2, when Woody made the conviction to stay with Andy instead of a display in a Museum.
@@taqresu5865 That is true that they both assassinate their characters, but Ralph is just so uncomfortable to watch in this movie that it makes it infinitely worse than Toy Story 4 to me. Ralph's relationship with Venelope felt borderline predatory.
@@jackflynn412 Fair enough. It's just that Toy Story and Toy Story 2 were THE peak of my Childhood. I was so obsessed with those movies, I even had a double sided blanket to represent Woody and Buzz respectively. I was like Andy in that regard.
I love Wreck-it Ralph too of course, it's probably my favorite original Disney movie since the Renaissance, or at least high up there. But Toy Story meant so much more to me. And after Toy Story concluded the franchise, watching Toy Story 4 felt like a betrayal, as did Lightyear.
It basically killed Pixar for me like how TLJ killed Lucasfilm.
@@taqresu5865 That's completely fair! I loved Toy Story growing up too so I can understand the pain of watching the characters get assassinated. My entite thought process during Toy Story 4 was wondering why it didn't end at 3 which was a perfect finale for Andy and Woody. It's sad to see pretty much every Disney Studio go to complete poop. Disney themselves has become bad and mostly makes lifeless live action remakes, Pixar lost themselves lost their magic and is just relying on horrible sequels with no heart, the MCU has become completely formulaic and soulless, and every Star Wars product feels like it was made to kill the franchise. Makes me wonder how bad the Fox properties will become.
Man it's almost been 5 years?!
Disney you COULD have made a series like big hero 6 did or tangled. It would have had SO MUCH MATERIAL TO WORK WITH!! plus the characters work great in 2d from what we've seen from pencil tests the art book and a few of those kids picture books.
It'd just become The Smurfs.
It makes me so mad how they made Belle in this movie, they just put her in there with the other princesses and flanderized them.
On the subject of Rapunzel, that's an issue in the show. Her dad & most of the kingdom see Flin Rider as the person who saved the princess & saw her as weak & incompetent
Dreamwork How to train your Dragon 2,Puss n Boots 2,Super Mario Movie, The kung fu, panda franchise, prince of Egypt and The sonic the hedgehog movies are way better than Ralph breaks the Internet and the Incredibles 2!
Hell yeah they are. Sonic has Jim Carrey and that to me makes those movies automatically better.
If I did the math correctly, in order to buy that steering wheel, Mr. Litwak would need Sugar Rush to have at least two people play it a day, every day of the year. If the arcade is only open on weekdays, and not weekends, it would need at least 3 people to play each day. If the arcade is closed on weekdays and only open on weekends, it would need at least 8 people per day.
...Pretty sure Sugar Rush would have more that 8 kids play it in one given day. Heck, in the first movie, Sugar Rush would have earned 18 quarters _at least_ in that day because of those two kids playing all 9 racers.
...Speaking of which, what happened to the second console/half of the console??? Sugar Rush was supposed to be multiplayer, but in Ralph Breaks the Internet, it seems to be single-player?
This is only a flaw of logic if you've never worked with an owner or a manager directly, they don't DO math. I worked for people who kept safety hazards like electrocuting fridges, shattered tile floors, and fridges with the doors broken off so they'd fall on you if you grazed them. People don't think about this shit, they just see a big upfront price tag and they're done.
I 100% believe Liwak would rather ignore that problem than front the 200$.
