Ralph Breaks the Internet
The sequel to Wreck it Ralph. Six years later, life in the Arcade seems to be idyllic, but Vanellope is bored. There is nothing new in Sugar Rush. Ralph does something to set the plot in motion... And Sugar Rush is unplugged! These early scenes are well written, showing that the various characters look out for each other more than the previous films. (There being a small crisis after the unplugging of Sugar Rush is believable.) Thus this sets in motion the main plot, getting a replacement part for Sugar Rush.
But that isn't what the main plot is about. There are two intertwining threads, causing development in the main characters, Vanellope and Ralph. First; Vanellope. The boredness she shows earlier is important, indicating that she wants more than Sugar Rush offers her. Quite unexpectedly, she finds it, in an online game called Slaughter Race. But the progression this epiphany takes, via the Princess characters at the Oh My Disney website, is very well done. However, this affects the other plot thread, with Ralph...
Ralph wants things to stay the way they are. He likes things the way they are. This may be a complete 180 from the previous film, but the problem he was facing then seemed to be resolved. However, his character traits as shown here, possessiveness, narcissism and obsession as seen after he finds out that Vanellope wants to stay in Slaughter Race, and amplified in his virus clones, don't come out of nowhere. They were present in his character from the beginning. Not just in his viral videos, but set up in the original film.
The backstory for Fix it Felix Jr. implies that the building was built in a place where Ralph was staying, and his desire for the place is what motivates him to wreck it. However, the solution to the climatic problem was also well done. Most of the characters found on the internet were also well done, and the point Yesss makes to Ralph after he reads the comments was very on point. However, the obsessiveness of Ralph later is a bit much. 8/10.
