And 2019 will easily beat both of them.Ben wrote:Disney's 2018 is going to beat their 2016, easily. Incredible.
Seriously, their 2019 slate is insane:
Captain Marvel
Tim Burton's Dumbo
Planes 3 (or some kind of spin-off set in that universe)
Avengers 4
Star Wars 9
Toy Story 4
The Lion King
Mulan
Frozen 2
Probably another Marvel movie (Doctor Strange 2?) and a DisneyNature film will end up getting penciled in there too and they've also got some untitled live-action movie scheduled for August 9, 2019.
Yeah, they're gonna just be making all the money in 2019.
I love all things cinema, from silent movies to world cinema to animated cinema to big blockbusters to documentaries and everything in between!

Now that a sample of the Princesses scene has been posted, I will continue to say that it was a fun surprise to see it at D23.

Bumping since the movie's now playing (even though I won't be going for like a week probably, so I'll be ducking out of here until then).

Re: Wreck-It Ralph 2
I’m still perplexed as to why this thing isn’t called Ralph Wrecks The Internet.
The title as is is a lazy reference that’s already dated, but switching it to Wrecks not only makes the same reference but then totally takes it and owns it as its own thing, not to mention still describing the concept, AND - y’know - having the goshdarn title character's name in it, so also not dating it as such!!!
Such a shame what looks to be a pretty smart film is saddled with such a dumb title. They could have been so much cleverer than that! Lame.

Re: Wreck-It Ralph 2
Ralph, Vanellope and New Hip-Trendy Social-Media Character discuss the issue...AT LENGTH, in the movie and the trailer--
EDIT: Okay, so just saw it, and that whole scene was cut out of the picture (and just referred to in a later bit of dialogue).
So, just...take their word for it.
(Oh, and if you notice another trailer-hyped scene missing from the movie, stay for the mid-credits. )

Busy holiday weekend (plus a few extra days!) but finally got some time to knock out the review for Ralph 2

Re: Wreck-It Ralph 2
I thought this was awkwardly done. The setup was weird, then of all the scenes to add back to the movie this choice didn’t make sense.EricJ wrote:...(Oh, and if you notice another trailer-hyped scene missing from the movie, stay for the mid-credits. )
Then a few days later I figured it out. I was at the Disney Store and discovered they have merchandise based on that deleted scene. Those characters don’t appear anywhere else in the movie so they had to include the scene somewhere or their product sales would plummet.

Re: Wreck-It Ralph 2
Good review. I enjoyed Ralph Breaks the Internet well enough, but
Like I said, I did enjoy the movie, overall (especially from a design and animation perspective) .. but I fully agree with your 'tl;dr' assessment of its story-telling.

Re: Wreck-It Ralph 2
Great notes! I’ve made it a top priority to keep my reviews as spoiler free as possible. The downside is I have to be light with details and speak in generalities. But I think it’s worth it.

Re: Wreck-It Ralph 2
One thing I found dated: The "Princess scene" that the fans were monomaniacally obsessed with from the minute it was announced:I do have one minor quibble with this type of humor though. Will it age well? The many, many, many references to companies and memes and the like that are popular today may make this film feel embarrassingly dated in a few years.
Yes, it's screenwriter Pamela Robin getting righteous payback for the Sisterhood (we can surmise it's mostly Pamela's work, since she also voice-cameos as the Snow White with the manic twittering-lunatic expression...A-a-a-a-aaa!), but we get every single "feminist" Anti-Disney-Princess joke that we literally haven't heard since the Eisner-Hate of the early-00's. It's supposed to be "Disney poking fun at its own tropes", or at least the female screenwriters thought it was, but both scenes drip with Issues, and have a jarringly mean-spirited feel to it. We haven't heard most of these jokes since "Enchanted" and "Shrek 2", but then, for female screenwriters, it's always 2005. (When Vanellope says "But I don't have a mother", and the Princesses reply en masse, "Neither do WE! "...Rapunzel, Aurora and Moana, what the heck are you doing there?)
And let's be honest, when even I feel a joke at the expense of Merida from "Brave" came off a little too Mean-Girls...that's harsh.
Even
But in the end, we see that the Princesses are happier lounging around in casual jammies and custom-slogan T-shirts instead of gowns, resulting in a scene that basically plays like an extended commercial for a new Disney Casual Princess(tm) fashion line that they probably have on sale for the holidays as we speak.
Exactly--They wanted to make the point that Different Friends Have Different Dreams, and be poignant that sometimes Old Friends Have to Drift Apart but keep in touch by long distance, but thought there was going to be some point that also, no matter how wonderful dreams look on the other side of the fence, they both have a JOB.James wrote:I completely missed the fact that...
Ralph found out in the first movie that you can't run away from it, but you can find the good in it if you like yourself, while Vanellope in the first movie did the same by learning to appreciate herself.
We get the "Unboxing" of Milkshake Kitten toys as one of Ralph's videos, so I knew they must have skipped over it at some point.James wrote:Then a few days later I figured it out. I was at the Disney Store and discovered they have merchandise based on that deleted scene.

And no, I didn't stay for the post-credit scene, where, this being the Internet, and Ralph now has YouTube experience,
