With the drop of the Mulan live action trailer and the casting of Ariel for the live action Little Mermaid, I think that it’s time to talk about Disney remakes and revamped princesses. Yes, many of us are tired of the remake cycle, but in these remakes the princesses have grown exponentially, and are now quite literally kicking ass.

There is no hiding my love of animated films, particularly anything related to princesses. When trailers for Ralph Breaks the Internet began appearing I was excited for the sequel to Wreck it Ralph, and slightly guarded. What was Ralph going to do to the Internet, and how was Pixar going to deal with the Disney princesses? The film does seem to cram one too many elements into the storyline, and would benefit from losing even one or two plot elements to help streamline the story; however, Ralph Breaks the Internet is a fun film that pokes fun in smart ways at our Internet usage and what it means to be a  princess and a strong woman, all while playing out messages of following your dreams and what it means to be a friend. As sequels go, this one is worth your time.
