Video game bad guy Ralph and fellow misfit Vanellope von Schweetz must risk it all by traveling to the World Wide Web in search of a replacement part to save Vanellope's video game, "Sugar Rush." In way over their heads, Ralph and Vanellope rely on the citizens of the internet -- the netizens -- to help navigate their way, including an entrepreneur named Yesss, who is the head algorithm and the heart and soul of trend-making site BuzzzTube in Ralph Breaks the Internet.
Ralph Breaks the Internet is very clever in its exploration of the Internet, with tongue-in-cheek jokes about Disney, technology and our media-obsessed culture. There are strong moral messages about not holding friends back from following their passions, loyalty, courage, and even the beautiful act of adoption. The movie also contains positive Christian references. Ralph Breaks the Internet is loads of fun, and many families will enjoy it. Caution is advised for younger children for light innuendos, scenes occurring in an intense game and other thematic elements.
