When Wreck-It Ralph came out, the movie made a big impression on me and my husband. It was clever, had tons of fun shout outs to classic arcade games (which he loved), funny, and a great twist ending with the villain. So when they announced they were making a sequel called Ralph Breaks the Internet […]
Celebration of The Lion King at the D23 Expo 2017
