GRIZZLY PEAR

Wreck-It Ralph, Rich Moore, 2012 & Ralph Breaks the Internet, Johnston & Moore, 2018

She spent half an hour going through the Disney catalog.
She was intrigued by the princesses in the sequel.

We started with this one.
We watched it a few years ago but forgot the story.

The bugs are scary.
The 8-bit breaks up the monotony of CGI.

A thrill a minute.
A simple fable with the usual Disney lessons.

Why isn’t it better known?
Why isn’t it lauded as a modern classic?

Great fun for the kids,
Great love letter to the parents’ childhoods.

Is it the lack of princesses?
Is it missing a surreal song and dance routine?


Ralph Breaks the Internet:

The internet is a big place, so it makes sense that the movie felt less focused than the first one.

Still, it was a fun time with the kids.

The cameos of the Disney Princesses were great, but they also need that little extra to keep interest in the story.

The boy is always taciturn at the end of a movie, but this time he announced
“姐姐 (Sister) I hate the gigantic Wreck-it-Ralph!”

Most importantly, I’m happy to report they had a song and dance routine this time.


Plus the Eeyore cameo might convince the kids to watch Winnie the Pooh!
