Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018)


IMDb plot summary: Six years after the events of "Wreck-It Ralph," Ralph and Vanellope, now friends, discover a wi-fi router in their arcade, leading them into a new adventure.
Directed by Phil Johnston & Rich Moore. Starring John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Gal Gadot, and Taraji P. Henson.

*shrug* As is the case with most sequels, and as was the case with the first Wreck-It Ralph movie, this just doesn't do much that's interesting or creative. It's serviceable. It's not, like, WRONG in any way. Well, maybe a little too choatic and dependent on Internet and pop culture references. But that's not new to Disney or children's animation in general. This is at least tethered to an emotional character arc. It just always sits in the exact middle of the spectrum between good and bad, making it almost impossible to evaluate except to shrug and toss it into the center somewhere.

How it entered my Flickchart:
Ralph Breaks the Internet < Call Me by Your Name
Ralph Breaks the Internet > Brother Bear
Ralph Breaks the Internet > Top Hat
Ralph Breaks the Internet > 17 Again
Ralph Breaks the Internet > Ever After
Ralph Breaks the Internet < Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey
Ralph Breaks the Internet > V/H/S
Ralph Breaks the Internet < Bully
Ralph Breaks the Internet < Fish Tank
Ralph Breaks the Internet < Batman: Under the Red Hood
Ralph Breaks the Internet > The Whole Nine Yards
Final spot: #1551 out of 2968.
