10 Best Animated Movie Sequels
8. Wreck-It Ralph: Ralph Breaks The Internet
Where Wreck-It Ralph succeeded in appealing to viewers' nostalgia within the realms of video games, by packing the sequel with topical and iconic pop culture references that all generations will recognise, the creators built on everything that made the first film a success to create an hilarious adventure with even some Disney sing-along flair.
From featuring every Disney Princesses through the ages in a single scene - a genius marketing device - to popular websites and hilarious click-bait puns, Ralph Breaks The Internet feels like the first animated film that's truly made for the internet-obsessed age.
Every joke is carefully thought out to make you laugh, even if you don't quite know what 'going viral' means, and critics and fans praise this film alike for its humour, characters, and plot. The way pop-culture references are used and are, almost literally, stacked-up continuously throughout this movie serve to give Ralph Breaks the Internet a sense of relevancy that, in the age of the internet, isn't likely to fade anytime soon.
This movie was nominated for Best Animated Film at the Oscars, Golden Globes and Critic's Choice Awards in 2018.
