Ralph Breaks the Internet

Slaughter Race is Grand Theft Auto-esque racing game full of scares, thrills, obstacles, including characters who throw axes and shoot fire, creepy clowns, random predators, and dangerously fast drivers. Expect lots of stunts, jumps, crashes (same for Sugar Rush, though that has cuter look). When an insecurity virus is set loose, it turns into a menacing, King Kong-like monster that wreaks destruction, almost envelops Ralph and Vanellope. Game characters run for their lives when game is about to be unplugged, leaving them "gameless." A nasty virus spreads through a game; when software update begins, two characters must flee before they're permanently erased. Double Dan's little brother might scare very young/sensitive viewers. Princesses brandish weapons at Vanellope (arrow, pan, shoe, etc.). Ralph, Vanellope argue and are sad/angry in parts.

A couple of game characters wear tight/revealing costumes/uniforms (one male wrestler wears only his underwear, a female warrior wears a skin-tight but full-coverage outfit, etc.). Married game characters embrace.

Affectionate name-calling ("stench breath," "stink brain"), more cutting insults ("needy," "clingy," "selfish," "ugly," "loser," "useless," "hobo"), and occasional potty humor ("doody/duty" joke, "farting is such sweet sorrow"). Also "butt," "kick your butt," "butt load," "dummy," "stupid," "hate," "gosh dang it," "good lord," "son of a gun," "heck," "bull." A character says "mother Hubbard!" Ralph reads some hateful internet comments out loud: "I hate him," "he's the worst," etc.

In one scene, a game character has a martini glass and thinks a candy sourball is an oversized olive. A few scenes take place in a game called Tappers, in which characters drink root beer from beer mugs at a bar. (Felix downs one like a real drink at one point.) There's a wine store in Slaughter Race.

Parents need to know that Ralph Breaks the Internet -- the sequel to Disney's hit video-game comedy Wreck-It Ralph -- tells a strong friendship story within its framework of video game characters, popular websites, and social media platforms. It will appeal to viewers of all ages, but the themes and messages (particularly those about the nature of online life and internet fame) are best suited to tweens and up. Several scenes take place inside a Grand Theft Auto-esque driving game called Slaughter Race that's full of weapons, creepy clowns, and lots of danger, stunts, and crashes. Other scary moments/characters include a creepy dark web kingpin and an out-of-control insecurity virus that turns into a giant monster and threatens everything in its path, including Ralph (voiced by John C. Reilly) and Vanellope (Sarah Silverman). Expect some potty humor/language ("butt," "doody") and insults ("stink brain," "dummy," "stupid," etc.), as well as a ton of featured tech logos and brands, from eBay and Google to Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Parent company Disney also has a big presence, specifically the Disney princesses, who play a role in the story. The movie fully explores how the internet can be both wonderful and terrible and has strong themes of empathy, courage, perseverance, and self-control.
