Wreck It Ralph 2

Disney announced today there will be a sequel to Wreck Ralph and it will be released on March 9th 2018. The only thing they would say about the plot is that Ralph will leave the arcade and wreck havoc on the internet.

No!!! I loved the movie, but let it go Disney! Not everything needs a sequel.

Well seeing as how this is the first true sequel in the "Disney Canon" since The Rescuers Down Under in 1990 it's not so bad.

(No, all of those direct to video things they did don't count).

However I do believe they are going to be hard pressed to live up to the expectations for this movie, Frozen 2 and the inevitable Zootopia sequel.

I like the fact that it is first of the sequels to released especially since they announced a Frozen 2 ages ago. I am not saying that I am not looking forward to Frozen 2 but I am happy that Ralph will be the first sequel of the new wave of good Disney animated films.

Now I really hope that Zootopia will get a sequel. Big Hero 6 could use a sequel as well but since it is getting a TV show already it might no get one.

I dunno, of all the movies to get a sequel Wreck It Ralph seems like the worst. It was fully wrapped up in a nice little bow, lessons learned, happy ending.

Any sequel will either A.) Ruin that or B.) End up at the same place.

Does Cars 2 count. Admittedly Pixar, but isn't Pixar=Disney these days?

Of course that would also bring up the Toy Story movies and Finding Dory as well then.

They might meet copies of themselves! Perhaps Pirate Copies!

Does a sequel really need to advance the plot or innovate the medium? It's a fun family film, a well-made sequel that gives us more of the same would be totally fine in my book. I just want to see Ralph wreck some stuff, get a few awesome video game cameos, and have some feels.

I remember one of the ideas being thrown around was them encounter copies or evil twin versions of themselves but who knows what they decided on by now.

Not according to Disney themselves, apparently they don't consider any Pixar film to be part of their "Animation Canon", nor their imported Studio Ghibli films, direct to video/tv films, or basically anything not on this list.

Yes

Huzzah!

Maybe the third one will do something with console systems.

There is no mentioned of Felix or Calhoun. I wonder if they will be in the next one or will they get some new supporting characters.

I suspect outside of cameos like the beginning of WIR1, there will be original characters.

So what video game characters do you guys want to see make a cameo?

I would love to see Samus, Zelda, Link, Mega Man, Dr. Wily, Mario, and any of the Belmonts(and/or Alucard).

Snake, Cloud, Leon Kennedy, Wesker.

Hmmm, that's tough. Jak and Daxter, perhaps?

Sora, Donald, and Goofy shouldn't be hard to manage.

Just have them stumble into an ongoing game of Smash Bros. at some point.

I want to see at least one of the cameos be something more long term. Act as a guide through their world or something.

Somebody like Link or another silent protagonist would be the funniest I imagine.

Plus Navi.

I can't believe I didn't even think of Kingdom Hearts, there is so much crossover potential there alone.

I am not much for online games, trying to think of something from that category that I would like to see.

The Team Fortress 2 mercs would be fun to see just lounging around. They might have to omit the Demoman though, since I think his alcoholism is an immediate bump to PG-13.

I wonder why Ralph goes to the Internet anyway. Maybe the arcade is closing, it's a accident, or someone/thing takes someone/thing and Ralph goes there get them/it.

Going to guess: Arcade was shut down YEARS ago, he gets downloaded via an emulator or something like the Xbox Arcade or Wii Shop.

Yea, say the owner/manager dies and they manage to get out.

Or the owner sells the place and new owner is very bad or changes the place into something else.

We finally got some more information about this from the Disney Expo 23. They say something about the Sugar Rush game getting broken and Ralph and Vanellope have go into the internet to get a new one. They show some scenes with them first entering the internet, talking to an algorithm named Yesss, another with Vanellope talking to every Disney Princess and trying to convince them she is a princess.

It looks like it'll be fun. Though I will bet that at some point in their initial discovery phase, Ralph will open a random door only to slam it shut red faced, and inform Vannellope that "Nope, nothing to see here, move along".

OK, the Mr. Creosote variant was kinda funny.

Those pancakes are just wafer thin;)

I feel sorry for the people who worked on this considering how many internet(and related stuff) movies and anime we have gotten since the the first movie. Yet there hasn't been any retro video game focused movies (except pixels) since the first Wreck It Ralph. I do wish they went with the original idea of focusing console games for the sequel.
