Following last week's successful theatrical debut of
Ralph Breaks the Internet, which has since
become one of the most successful Thanksgiving film releases of all-time, we have a new clip to share with you, courtesy Entertainment Weekly.
As previously revealed,
Ralph Breaks the Internet features a song called
"A Place Called Slaughter Race." Written by Disney legend Alan Menken (with lyrics by co-director Phil Johnston and music producer Tom MacDougall), the song is said to be
"in the vein of classic 'I want' songs in the Disney canon such as 'Someday My Prince Will Come' and 'Part of Your World.'" Of course, Menken has also worked on Disney classics like
Beauty and the Beast and you can clearly feel the
"Be Our Guest" vibes we get from this catchy Ralph Breaks the Internet tune.
There's bright, colorful lights and brilliant choreography, as Vanellope desires to be a part of the world outside of her arcade game Sugar Rush. Helping her realize her dreams is her racing mentor Shank, voiced by Gal Gadot (
Wonder Woman) who is making her singing debut in the film. Check out a clip from the original song featured in
Ralph Breaks the Internet below.
Commenting on her opportunity to sing a song by the great Alan Menken, Silverman - who cited Menken's
Little Shop of Horrors as her favorite musical - gushed:
“Thinking about it, it’s just crazy. A full-on Disney princess song, written by Alan Menken, recorded with a whole orchestra. It’s crazy! I just love that [the princesses] teach her about how every princess must have a song that expresses her quest, and when she finds the place that inspires that, the song ensues and it’s simultaneously very Disney and very different from Disney. It’s just so good. And Gal Gadot’s in it!”
“Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2” leaves Litwak’s video arcade behind, venturing into the uncharted, expansive and thrilling world of the internet—which may or may not survive Ralph’s wrecking. Video game bad guy Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) and fellow misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman) must risk it all by traveling to the world wide web in search of a replacement part to save Vanellope’s video game, Sugar Rush. In way over their heads, Ralph and Vanellope rely on the citizens of the internet—the netizens—to help navigate their way, including a webite entrepreneur named Yesss (voice of Taraji P. Henson), who is the head algorithm and the heart and soul of trend-making site “BuzzzTube.”
Ralph Breaks the Internet is now playing in theaters.
