“Ralph Breaks the Internet” by Giving Us a Good Trailer

After two sneak peeks that seemed solely crafted for their meme potential, Ralph Breaks the Internet has finally given us a proper trailer, one that shows there's an actual story, and lays to rest fears that fans might have had.
The sequel to the 2012 hit still deals with glitchy games – this time it's Vanellope's Sugar Rush that's on the fritz – but this time Ralph and his pal have to venture to the (literal) darkest corners of the internet to find a solution.
That means there's a whole new cast of characters, including Gal Gadot's tough driver Shank, Taraji P. Henson's emphatic helper Yesss, as well as the gross, Total Recall-inspired Double Dan (voiced by Alfred Molina). The duo also plunge headfirst into the much higher-stakes world of Slaughter Race, which trades Sugar Rush's literal candy land for grimy streets and vicious animals.
Check out the new poster below. Ralph Breaks the Internet opens Wednesday, November 21.
About Kip Mooney
Like many film critics born during and after the 1980s, my hero is Roger Ebert. The man was already the best critic in the nation when he won the Pulitzer in 1975, but his indomitable spirit during and after his recent battle with cancer keeps me coming back to read not only his reviews but his insightful commentary on the everyday. But enough about a guy you know a lot about.
I knew I was going to be a film critic—some would say a snob—in middle school, when I had to voraciously defend my position that The Royal Tenenbaums was only a million times better than Adam Sandler’s remake of Mr. Deeds. From then on, I would seek out Wes Anderson’s films and avoid Sandler’s like the plague.
Still, I like to think of myself as a populist, and I’ll be just as likely to see the next superhero movie as the next Sundance sensation. The thing I most deplore in a movie is laziness. I’d much rather see movies with big ambitions try and fail than movies with no ambitions succeed at simply existing. I’m also a big advocate of fun-bad movies like The Room and most of Nicolas Cage’s work.
In the past, I’ve written for The Dallas Morning News and the North Texas Daily, which I edited for a semester. I also contributed to Dallas-based Pegasus News, which in the circle of life, is now part of The Dallas Morning News, where I got my big break in 2007. Eventually, I’d love to write and talk about film full-time, but until that’s a viable career option, I work as an auditor for Wells Fargo.
I hope to one day meet my hero, go to the Toronto International Film Festival, and compete on Jeopardy. Until then, I’m excited to share my love of film with you.
