Brief synopsis: Some time later after they saved Sugar Rush from King Candy’s regime, Wreck-It Ralph and Vanellope von Schweetz once again find themselves going on an adventure to save the racing game from being unplugged. This time, though, the best friends have to travel to the most dangerous place for a 24-bit arcade character: the Internet. Vanellope, bored by the predictability of her easygoing lifestyle, is enthralled by the infinite possibilities of online gaming — especially a death defying racing game called Slaughter Race. But Ralph, discombobulated by the chaos, wishes to return to life as normal, and is terrified by the prospect that this is impossible when he learns that Vanellope wants to stay inside the Internet. In their ultimate test of friendship, Ralph becomes a viral sensation and Vanellope lives life dangerously (by meeting the Disney Princesses) — a storm is brewing inside the cloud that threatens to crash the Internet forever.

During the biggest highlight of Ralph Breaks the Internet, 95 years of Disney tropes are condensed into four minutes when Vanellope glitches herself into a backstage room with 14 of Disney’s most recognizable characters: Anna, Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Elsa, Jasmine, Merida, Moana, Mulan, Pocahontas, Rapunzel, Snow White, and Tiana. Otherwise known as the Disney Princesses. (A brief moment of silence for the unacknowledged Disney princesses: Eilowny, Megara, and Kia. And if we’re stretching the definition of “Princess” like Disney did for Mulan — bad-ass warrior does not mean she comes from a royal family! — then we should include Esmeralda, Jane Porter, and Nani in there as well. Also, while we’re on this thread, isn’t it about time Disney recognized its animal princesses: Maid Marian, Nala, and Faline? Heck, why not throw in Princess Atta if we’re including “The Other Studio,” as Merida is referred to by Anna?

…But I digress. If it wasn’t already apparent, I was raised on Disney movies, so it was oddly satisfying to see Disney be so savagely self-referential and acknowledge little (okay, major) quirks from movies past. You know things like…magic hands, magic hair, talking animals, curses, enslavement, questionable deals with shady characters, true’s love kiss, daddy issues, dead mothers, being reduced to a damsel in distress…as Vanellope says, “Are you guys okay? Should I call the police?” In all seriousness, the scene is just all-around entertainment for life-long Disney nuts to see their favorite Princesses in a setting quite different from what we’re used to. It’s kind of like a Disney slumber party for the characters to work out their trauma and help Vanellope discover her inner song (which later turns out to be an ode to “Slaughter Race”). Plus, there are a lot of easter eggs throughout the scene that I love — Mulan wearing a red zipper vest with a Mushu logo, Ariel using a fork as a weapon, Rapunzel’s pants are the same pattern painted on her tower ceiling — which makes it fun to watch multiple times on YouTube.
