‘Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2’ gets first trailer

If you haven’t seen the 2012 Disney film Wreck-It Ralph, the story followed a pair of classic arcade game characters who were looking for the purpose behind their programming and somehow ended up discovering more about themselves in the process. What happens when they end up being hooked up to the internet for the very first time? That’s the premise behind Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2. We have Ralph (played by John C. Reilly) and Vanellope (Sarah Silverman) on another adventure but this time in the expansive, somewhat dangerous, and incredibly addictive World Wide Web. As The Verge points out, it looks like the film carries on with the nice undercurrent of satire with this film and we’re excited to see it. It hits theatres on November 21, 2018.
