MOVIE: Ralph Breaks the Internet (Film Review)

TRIVIA: Did you know that the Head Writer of this film is a talented Fil-AM named Josie Trinidad? Astig diba? #GirlPower #ProudPinoy #saISIPsaSALITAsaGAWA

To be honest, Ralph Breaks the Internet somehow broke my “stand” when it comes to genre – first, I am not into animation and cartoons. Second, we never even tried watching the first part of the film which was shown last 2012 because of the first reason (okay, now we’re rounding up, lol!) But because of the generosity of @DohaFestivalCity and @VoxCinemasQatar, not to mention that my younger sister is into animation (thanks to her 3 little bibes), okay let’s give it a shot, praying that I will not get bored.

Surprisingly though, the movie is a hit. And it really opens up for kids and adults. A 100% family oriented film, Ralph Breaks the Internet” dares to encourage kids to not only be themselves but allow their friends to be true to their wants and needs as well. Kids and children are actually become an opener on this film, as they can accept and embrace the differences of one another. I almost cried while smiling on the scene when Vanellope decided to join the Slaughter Race gang, leaving Ralph on the other side of the “internet” waving at each other. And the scene when Vanellope sings to become “one of the princesses?” It’s quite cute and hilarious at the same time. Most of the animated film character has a very good singing voice, but Vanellope has a really kid-like tone that will amaze you.

This movie for me is a total game changer. I don’t even remember almost all the names of the characters (except for the Disney Princesses of course) but I enjoyed watching it. The details, the colorful set ups, those backdrops using several popular websites – google, ebay or EBOY as Ralph calls it, snapchat, Wikipedia and so on. You will never get bored until you realized, you are smiling from start to finish.

Good job Ralph, Vanellope and the rest of your internet friends!
