Ok Ko finally did it...

Ian Jones Quartey finally brought back an animation voice actor legend after 18 years!

That’s right! They brought back Nick Bakay who voices Norbert from Angry Beavers and Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch!!

Here it is, I wasn’t even sure if I was going to see this in theaters but then my family said they wanted to go and knowing there is a Tron reference and Daft Punk played in the trailer...I wanted to see it. The first movie was alright, to be honest I was disappointed the first time I saw it but it grew on me over time. My main problem with it was that it was based in Sugar Rush most of the time instead of going from game to game. This movie didn’t have that problem since it’s the internet, there were tons of locations. It started and only a few minutes in is the Tron reference, I’m going to be a while on this one. They were on the classic lightcycles but it glitched and they were frozen in one spot, the rest of the movie they said it was broken. I look at this literally and metaphorically, that’s how Disney views Tron. Right now they don’t know where to go with it so it’s “frozen” and the community wants it so the bond seems “broken” between developer and audience. I for one really appreciate that it was in there but understand the whole movie couldn’t be Tron, it triggered me the rest of the day and I started going to Tron fansites and looking into watching Uprising again, finding an old flash game. Maybe it’s a stretch but anyways thanks Disney for adding fuel to my fire that is Tron.

Next is how Sugar Rush is broken then Felix and Calhoun adopt. I really liked this, in fact this whole start was done really well. They went into Slaughter Race and pulled out all the stops because it’s like the opposite of the cutesy Sugar Rush but so satisfying to watch Vanellope drive a more realistic car. Now I really want a Slaughter Race game like how they made Fix It Felix Jr a real game. Then onto where they introduce Yesss and BuzzTube, they showed YouTube but decided to make a spinoff, yet kept eBay the same? Anyway it was cool how they started making videos and nonsense but once they said “We’ll just follow trends” I expected them to be close to the goal and fall short so they need something new and start a new idea by starting a new trend, making the lesson to “be original” which I would have loved (Though I see that a bit hypocritical) and although they did fall short of the goal...they didn’t follow that route? Ralph just went to the comments and magically they reached past the goal, making me think Yesss did something Shady and will be the villain but that wasn’t the case either. Speaking of the comments, that was a bit of a touching moment and you can see where it’s heading afterwards.

I couldn’t get past this review without mentioning the Disney mayhem, Oh My Disney place. It was amazing, I didn’t even feel that excited to see Star Wars references during the last Star Wars movie, they nailed it. And had so much I could go on to mention but I’ll just say the princesses were great and I purposely avoided those trailers so I could save it for the movie and next is I believe during the Baby Groot scene, in the background, you can see 2D animated characters but just the bottom halves, it looks like a bear and someone picking up trash or paper, really appreciate some 2D animation got some love, might see Mary Poppins just for that. DISNEY MAKE 2D ANIMATION I SUPPORT IT TO NO END. But the 3D animation in this is stunning, it looks soooo good at times, slaughter race specifically, you wouldn’t think a simple world like that would be so good but compare this to the last movie visual wise and it’s so good looking.

Overall I had a lot of fun but let’s talk about the end. So none of my theories ending up happening so where did this thing go? Well I saw leaks of people saying “I love you so much Ralph” so I was thinking Vanellope would die or something, that would’ve made me cry but somebody doesn’t have to die in every single movie. Ralph actually ended up being his own villain with a virus and I see how that fits in but the way it’s portrayed seems like it’s been done, a big Ralph made up of normal sized Ralphs, I do like how he used the mail cart, it reminded me of the KH3 train, and how they said there were 2 options, to take it to the antivirus or a therapy session, so they almost go to the virus but end up having a therapy sess, that was cool but King Candy in the first movie was a satisfying villain for me, this ending left me just kind of “eh” and with a few Fortnite references and stuff, I feel like this is just a trend movie, not all of this will hold up say 5 years from now, that was my main worry with them going to the Internet, it’s of the times. I saw some other reviews and there’s this video by SkywardWing that made me really appreciate the ending though, I like that it has affected people but maybe just not all of us the same as others. Also that “January 25th” thing Vanellope said...

New big video is now available to watch over on the channel!
