Ralph Breaks the Internet will smash its way into theaters this week, bringing back a number of familiar faces like Vanellope, Ralph and Fix-It Felix. However, the animated sequel will also be introducing several new characters, including Taraji P. Henson's Yesss.

As BuzzzTube's living algorithm, Yesss will have an important role in Ralph Breaks the Internet, but she is also quite important to Henson herself, as the Empire actress revealed during a press conference (via That Hashtag Show) that voicing a Disney character has been on her bucket list.

“First of all, voicing a character in a Disney animated film, check. Bucket List, thank you," Taraji P. Henson said, before detailing her initial thoughts on Yesss. "I just thought she was incredible. I mean, when Rich and Phil brought her to me and explained her, I was like, ‘This is a no brainer.’ She’s a go getter. She’s the head of a company. She’s no nonsense. She has heart."

Aside from expressing her initial thoughts on the role, the star also briefly described her favorite scene from the film and explained how this moment solidified her feelings about the character.

Minor Spoilers Ahead.


"My favorite scene is when Ralph finds himself in the comment section or the comment room. She comes in and she tells him, ‘It’s not you, it’s them.’ They’re mean. They’re hurt, so they’re hurting you. It grounded the film for me and it grounded the character for me. Made her multi-dimensional. And then getting to voice with amazing actors. I mean, it was just a no brainer for me.”

Ralph Breaks the Internet is set to hit theaters on November 21 and features a voice cast that includes the likes of John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Alan Tudyk, Taraji P. Henson, Jack McBrayer, and Jane Lynch.
