Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018)

Director(s): Phil Johnston, Rich Moore. Voices: John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Gal Gadot, Taraji P. Henson, Jane Lynch, Alan Tudyk, Alfred Molina, Ed O'Neill. 112 min. Rated PG. Animation.

Interesting how on both Wreck-It Ralph movies, I started out with low expectations, but on both was terrifically surprised by the end - more so on this sequel. With Ralph and Vanellope leaving the arcade and entering the internet, showing us an artist's animated rendition of a different world (à la Inside Out), there are a few minor messages for minors about surfing the internet and ignoring trolls, but one huge message about friendship, dealing with insecurities in a relationship, and ... having the ability to let go. That, will fly right over the kids heads.
