The first Wreck It Ralph (2012) was created with a deep tale that you get to watch unfold before your eyes. We see two different people form a union that ends up being one of the best friendship you can catch in the animation world.

Their journey in the first film is what starts this sequel. We see these two Ralph (voiced by John C. Reilly) and Vanellope (voiced by Sarah Silverman) make it a routine to enjoy the night together. Ralph happy with the way things are and not wanting anything to change, but adrenaline rush Vanellope is bored and wants to experience something new.

This animated movie in comparison with its 2012 predecessor is a step lower in the entertaining rung. The first movie had more fun packed in its tale, than this one. The fun of the wonderful Easter eggs that was laid everywhere in the first movie was also dumped everywhere in this one.

The name of the movie Ralph Breaks the Internet, has a lot to do with something that literally happened in the movie.

After Ralph was tired of hearing Vanellope complain about being bored, he decided to make a new track in her game during gameplay. This caused Vanellope to drive down the path against the will of the player. While Vanellope is turning the steering wheel one way the player is trying to turn the wheel the other way and the arcade wheel comes off.

The Sugar rush game is old and with a broken steering wheel the arcade owner could not afford to fix it. Before he could yank the game off the power socket the characters run into other arcade games.

Vanellope is now worse, she is not just bored now she is homeless. Ralph then decided to help by taking Vanellope into the internet to find the steering wheel on Ebay and buy it for the arcade owner.

The movie is then about this journey, as we see the insecurity of Ralph when he has to be apart from his best friend, Vanellope. Vanellope and Ralph decided to find a way to make money to buy the steering wheel by helping internet users secure priced gems. This led them to the Slaughter Race game where they met Shank, whose race car was worth forty thousand. She refuses to part with her car after she and Vanellope had a race. Vanellope and Ralph tried to steal it.

Shank told them to go meet Yesss who runs Buzztube so they can make money off the internet from the videos they will upload.

This plan was going fine until Ralph insecurity gets in the way, and he almost ruined Vanellope’s life and the internet.

The voice casting is top notch and the animation is smooth. The whole idea of users being depicted as mini them was fun to see, as we get to see mini Stan Lee.

This animation is not better than the first movie, even though the voice casting is in par with it.
