Wreck-It Ralph 1 was surprisingly good. Made in 2012 and produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, the movie was directed by Rich Moore, of Simpsons and Futurama fame. Featuring John C. Reilly as the titular character, along with Sarah Silverman (who I hate, but she was pretty good in this), Wreck-It Ralph was the story of a video game "bad guy" who decided one day that he wanted to be a good guy instead. It was an interesting premise (albeit not the most original) and I enjoyed it a lot. One of the best things about it was the staggering amount of video-game cameos, and I ain't just whistling dixie on this one. There were a lot of big names to be found: Bowser, Zangief, Sonic, Knuckles, Luigi... the list goes on and on, and it made me feel like a wee gamer all over again.
The second film is on the way, and you can check out the trailer below. Titled, "Wreck-It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet," the sequel takes place six years after the first film, and centers on Ralph's adventures in the Internet data space when a Wi-Fi router gets plugged into the arcade as he must find a replacement part to fix Sugar Rush. Along the way, Ralph and his best friend Vanellope von Schweetz encounter new customs, worlds, and characters, like a trendy algorithm named Yesss and the entire Disney Princess lineup.
Wreck-It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet releases in theaters on November 21, 2018 in 3D, 2D and IMAX.
