wreck-it ralph 2 ralph breaks the internet

Disney Animation and star Sarah Silverman showed excited Disney fans the first footage for “Ralph Breaks The Internet,” the 2018 sequel of the video game-inspired “Wreck-It Ralph,” at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, featuring new cast addition Taraji P. Henson as a trend-setting internet maven.

Taking place six years after “Wreck-It Ralph,” “Ralph Breaks The Internet” will see John C. Reilly and Sarah Silverman return as Ralph and Vanellope von Schweetz, with Jack McBrayer and Jane Lynch also returning as Fix-It Felix and Sgt. Calhoun. The story will take Ralph and Vanellope from video games to the Internet, as the pair explores a whole new world after a wi-fi router gets plugged into their arcade. Phil Johnston and “Zootopia” co-director Rich Moore are making the film.

The new trailer shows Vanellope and Ralph arrive in an internet server, where Ralph naively falls for tiny creatures who try to draw him in with pop-up ads. Fortunately, Vanellope is there to drag him away.

Silverman then presented never-before-seen footage featuring a new character called Yesss, voiced by Henson. Yesss is the head of a trendsetting website called Buzzaholic, and offers Ralph and Vanellope a tour of the site OhMyDisney.com, which will prominently feature both classic Disney characters and figures from the “Star Wars” and “Marvel” worlds that Disney picked up not long after the release of the first “Wreck-It Ralph.”

Vanellope ends up going off course and comes face-to-face with all the Disney princesses (voiced by their original voice actors) from Snow White and Ariel to Elsa and Moana. They welcome her into their fold after she sympathizes with the same problem they all have: everyone thinks a big, strong man solved all their problems. Rapid fire references to every Disney movie quickly follow, along with a cameo from C-3PO, who hates that he was given the job of looking after princesses just because he dealt with another certain princess from a galaxy far, far away.

The D23 animation presentation was hosted by Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn and “Toy Story” director and Disney Animation/Pixar chief creative officer John Lasseter. Lasseter has served as head of Disney’s entire animation division since 2007, and is slated to direct Pixar’s “Toy Story 4,” due out 2019.

“Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2” will hit theaters November 21, 2018

13 Live-Action Disney Movies in the Works Based on Animated Classics After 'Beauty and the Beast' (Photos)

Disney will be pumping out live-action versions of its animated classics for a long time to come. Here's a list of titles in the works, including the release date of the original.
Beauty and the Beast (1991)
The new wave of live-action reboots kicked off in March 2017 with this gem, starring Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Luke Evans, Josh Gad and voices such as Emma Thompson.

The Lion King (1994)
Director Jon Favreau transplanted to Disney after proving himself a major player with Marvel's "Iron Man." Then Favreau knocked "The Jungle Book" out of the park in spring 2016.

Maleficent
Adapted from 1959's "Sleeping Beauty," the movie helped energize Angelina Jolie's career and introduced an entire generation to the tale's terrifying villain. A sequel is in the works.

Disney
Aladdin (1992)
This whimsical and critically acclaimed journey catapulted Robin Williams into four-quadrant comedy stardom thanks to his take on the genie in Aladdin’s lamp. Now the colorful and gritty director Guy Ritchie will try his hand at a reboot.
Disney
Mulan (1998)
This is a particularly anticipated title, already slated for release on November 2, 2018. The title character has not yet been cast (and there's plenty of controversy about that). It has a script by Elizabeth Martin and Lauren Hynek.
Disney
The Little Mermaid (1985)
"Mermaid" is arguably one of the most popular and profitable movies in Disney's vault. The live version has already drafted songwriter Alan Menken and "Hamilton" superstar Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Cruella
Extracted from the famous villainess of 1961’s “One Hundred and One Dalmatians,” this origin story of a woman who declares open season on purebred puppies-- Cruella DeVil -- is set to star Emma Stone. The reigning live-action Cruella is Glenn Close, who herself starred in two live-action adaptations.

James and the Giant Peach (1996)
In one of the more interesting adaptations, this beloved Roald Dahl book became a quirky claymation hit for Disney in 1996 with director Henry Selick. Now, heavy dramatist director Sam Mendes will take a stab at the story.

Rose Red
This one is trippy (no pun over producer Tripp Vinson), but promising creatively. In the German fairy tale, Rose Red is Snow White's sister. Disney and Vinson are collaborating on introducing the world to the sibling of the famous apple-loving princess. Disney released the original "Snow White" in 1937.
Disney
Snow White (1937)
Forget her sister -- the original baddest chick in the Disney animated kingdom is coming back for her own standalone film. It was announced at the end of October 2016.
Disney
Peter Pan
Neverland will get a practical set if Disney has its way updating the 1953 animated film.
Disney
The Jungle Book 2
This is a no-brainer follow-up to Favreau's hit from spring 2006, based on the animated classic released in 1967.
Disney
Dumbo (1941)
In another promising but visually daunting prospect, Tim Burton is developing "Dumbo," about the gentle (and a tad neurotic) performing elephant.

Oliver Twist
While Disney never formally made a direct animated take on Charles Dickens' beloved orphan, they did release the adorable 1988 "Oliver and Company," inspired by Dickens' tale but told with animals. They also made a small-screen live-action version in 1997 with Richard Dreyfuss.
