2017 went by without a new Walt Disney Animation Studios film, but they’re back in 2018 withRalph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2.Despite the wordy title, this is a sequel we can get behind, and Disney has revealed a brand new image from the film that gives us a better idea of what to expect from this follow-up. The story finds Ralph (John C. Reilly) and Vanellope (Sarah Silverman) literally going into the internet, offering up a whole new world to explore.
The firstWreck-It Ralphwas a delightful ode to arcades but also stood alone as a great story unto itself, so hopefully that permeates the follow-up. Luckily directorRich Mooreis back in the saddle, having co-directed the smash hitZootopiain betweenWreck-It Ralphmovies. The sequel will also see Fix-It Felix (Jack McBrayer) and Sergeant Calhoun (Jane Lynch) returning, and it’ll be interesting to see how they fit into the story this time around now that these arcade characters enter cyberspace.
The possibilities here are quite literally endless, as having Ralph and Vanellope go into the internet allows them to explore all kinds of different subjects and topics. In this new image, which looks to be a detailed piece of concept art, we see the duo walking through the internet where they’re surrounded by fellow internet travelers (likely avatars) as well as pop-up ads. As a huge fan of the firstWreck-It Ralph, I cannot wait to see this movie.

Here’s the official synopsis forRalph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2:
“Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2” leaves Litwaks’ video arcade behind, venturing into the uncharted, expansive and thrilling world of the internet—which may or may not survive Ralph’s wrecking. Video game bad guy Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) and fellow misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman) 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 a webite entrepreneur named Yesss (voice of Taraji P. Henson), who is thehead algorithm and the heart and soul of trend-making site “Buzztube.” Directed by Rich Moore (“Zootopia”, “Wreck-It Ralph”) and Phil Johnston (co-writer “Wreck-It Ralph”, “Cedar Rapids”, co-writer “Zootopia”), and produced by Clark Spencer (“Zootopia,” “Wreck-It Ralph,” “Bolt”), “Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2” hits theaters on August 18, 2025.
