Goofs

When Shank accepted Vanellope to be in Slaughter Race, she didn't program Vanellope's code into the game, although the game is extremely dangerous; therefore making Vanellope vulnerable to the virus. However, after the climax, it was revealed that Shank had been able to put Vanellope's code into the game. Shank may have included Vanellope's code only after the climax event, maybe a few minutes before that scene.

Quotes

[first lines]
Ralph: Okay, my turn, my turn! Um, I got one.
Vanellope: Great, but can you make it a little more challenging this time?
Ralph: Okay, check this out. I spy with my little eye something yellow and round, and it eats dots.
Vanellope: Pfft! Seriously, Ralph?
Ralph: Yeah, seriously. You're never gonna get it.
Vanellope: Well, obviously it's Pac-Man!
Ralph: No! That's not - why is that obvious?
Vanellope: Name one other thing in this whole arcade that is yellow and round and eats dots.
Ralph: I can name two things: Ms. Pac-Man and Baby Pac-Man. Boom! I accept your apology.

Crazy Credits

There is a scene in the closing credits: Ralph and Vanellope crash a child's Pancake Milkshake game on her iPad.

Alternate Versions

The Indonesian release cuts the post-credit scene out, due to the country not being familiar with "Never Gonna Give You Up".

User Reviews

Decent but not as strong as the original

I'll avoid spoilers here and keep it simple. The original movie is one of my favorites, it stands up to repeated viewing, was excellent in pace and composition. It flowed well, consistently, didn't try to do too much at once. The story was excellent, the voice acting was outstanding.

The sequel here - some of the best parts unfortunately were what we saw in trailers, as it often is. That's not to say there aren't other funny parts - there are. But overall it just left me, and my son, with the impression of them trying to cram far too many bits into the movie. It really stuttered along in parts.

We had a lot of eye rolling at the deluge of Disney when they first got to "the internet" and began looking around. This was the first part for us that started to detract from the story, which is, at it's core, actually an EXCELLENT story.

I wish they had focused more on what made the story flow well, what brought it out the best, rather than just try to cram as many bit part cameos as they could from other Disney franchises.

Voice acting was again well done. I think this would have been a much better movie had more things ended up on the cutting room floor, but it's at least worth seeing once. I'm sure we'll get it on blu-ray when it comes out, but we won't watch it nearly as much as we did the original.
