Ralph Breaks the Internet would've been a fun but soulless movie if not for its nuanced and necessary story about friendship. Go to Full Review

Movies don't get more timely than Ralph Breaks the Internet - an exhilarating yet dismaying sequel to 2012's Wreck It Ralph, for my money easily the smartest and most endearing Disney animated feature of recent years. Go to Full Review

Conceptually, it's rather ingenious, with well-aimed barbs at abusive commenter culture and social-media narcissism that adds up to a welcome moral for small fry... Go to Full Review

It certainly doesn’t rank among the higher standards of modern animations like Inside Out or Coraline. But it’s vibrant and funny, and it has charm to spare. Go to Full Review

Despite some minor flaws with logic, Ralph Breaks the Internet is a great addition to Disney's modern filmography and is another winner for the series Go to Full Review

Harry L Apr 27, 2019 Great follow up to the first movie. Fun film from start to finish.
Poe R Apr 27, 2019 While Ralph is more bumbling than Princess Jasmine's Sultan (Hamed Bobolonius II), and less intimidating than Pocahontas' Chief Powhatan, all are dangerously powerful fathers (it's always the father - lacking a mother is one of the criteria to be a Disney princess). Disney has historically given some screen time to the single father, like when King Triton laments after having destroyed Ariel's artifact grotto, but 'Ralph Breaks the Internet' places Ralph as the main character. As Ralph helplessly watches his 'daughter' (Vanellope) get increasingly enamored by 'the big city' (internet) and feel constrained by their 'small town' (arcade) the "You're my hero" medal from the first movie gains a poignant significance as the stereotypical children's gift that a father latches onto as a reminder of his teenager's younger years. In addition to being a 2019 rendition of Disney's classic metaphor of a father letting go of his daughter, 'Ralph breaks the internet' updates it's third party meta references with jokes about GTA to Fortnite to unboxing videos, and manages to subversively make the movie's cruelest villains not anamorphic internet trolls, but anonymous humans cyberbullying Ralph with hurtful posts. Finally, nothing in this movie is by accident, including the product placement of Princess Tiana's #NOLA PJs and other fashionable lounge wear in The Room Where It Happens that Vanellope von Schweetz, Disney's first Jewish-American Princess, meets the other Disney princesses (reserved for only the top 1% princesses that made $$$ -- sorry, Black Cauldron's Princess Eilonwy). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khoWlSniiWM See more
Finn S Apr 25, 2019 Conceptually an interesting premise and with a couple of really interesting scenes that took out a laugh outta me, Ralph Breaks The Internet's flaws lie in its poor storytelling execution (the story doesn't feel like a progress, it feels like a to-do list) and in the exaggerating amounts of product placement. The Star Wars references are funny, but they're not that good when they take away the time to develop the characters. Remember, just because it's a movie for kids it doesn't mean it doesn't have to have its flaws exposed and talked about. See more
Kylo R Apr 21, 2019 I thought the movie was decent but overall i was not impressed, The movie felt like it was trying to do too much, I was not a fan of the animation also. See more
Finn S Apr 21, 2019 Not as epic as its predecessor, it does push for stronger character growth of both Ralph and Penelope. It left me wanting for more and, personally, it denotes Ralph and Penelope as characters with strong staying power for possible future adventures. See more
Harry L Apr 21, 2019 Didn't enjoy it as much as the first film and in this one Ralph actually annoyed me.
