The new trailer for Wreck It Ralph 2 brilliantly rips it out of the Disney princesses

This is going to be good.

A SECOND TRAILER for the Wreck It Ralph sequel Ralph Breaks The Internet was released this week. Very exciting altogether.

In the trailer, Disney does the unthinkable – presenting all of the princesses to us in one room. Altogether.

When Vanellope Von Schweetz walks into the room, she gets a grilling from the Princesses about what makes her a Disney Princess. While she may not have magic hair or magic hands or the ability to talk to animals like some — and she’s never been kidnapped or enslaved or cursed like others — she does have one thing in common with Belle, Rapunzel, Aurora, and company:

Do people assume all your problems got solved because a big, strong man showed up?”

Rapunzel had to be rescued from her tower, Aurora had to awoken with a kiss, and I think everyone’s familar with Belle’s entire kidnap-to-lovestory ordeal. So it’s nice to see some of the misogynistic story-telling from by-gone days have the piss ripped out of it.

The sequel follows the original Wreck-it Ralph – released in 2012 – and will again feature John C Reilly as the titular videogame character, with Sarah Silverman returning to voice wisecracking go-kart driver Vanellope.
