March Movies from Disney
This March, Disney is giving everyone a (March) break with
the Digital, DVD and BluRay releases of Ralph Breaks the Internet and The
Little Mermaid.With the arrival of
these films on your favourite platforms, your family will have a fun time
mixing a classic tale with a modern-day phenomenon.
Be Part of Ariel’s World with the 30th Anniversary Edition of
The Little Mermaid
With the release of the 30th Anniversary Edition
of The Little Mermaid, Disney is letting you become part of the Ariel’s world
Under the Sea and on land in the new sing-along mode added to this film.Along with the additional bonus features
included you will be getting an inside look of this classic.This film is wonderful story from beginning
to end about being different and how finding your own path may not be the
easiest at times but it will make you happy in the end.
Take A March Break and Watch How Ralph Breaks the Internet
Last year I was able to attend a special
screening of Ralph Breaks the Internet and now I am just as excited to
tell you that the Digital, DVD and BluRay version has lots of extras.Just imagine being able to pause the film to
see all the references and Disney Easter Eggs you may have missed when watching
it the first time in the theatre? “Mind Blown” is the only way I can describe
it! Wreck It Ralph and his best pal Vanellope meet a new society, also known as
the internet, in this fast-paced fun film that shows you can support one
another even if your opinions are very different.
Plus, as you know from the trailers, Ariel aka The Little
Mermaid makes an appearance in Ralph Breaks the Internet!This cross over makes a great segue from one
film to the other.

We'll start with the Disclaimer –
Yes, we did receive complimentary invite to the event, but this just means I
can tell you all about the films coming from Disney!
For those that don’t already know, I am a big fan of Vanellope,
also known as “the glitch” from Wreck It Ralph as you can tell by my pic below.
So I was thrilled to attend this media event put on by Walt
Disney Studios Canada.
Ralph Connects to The Internet
Fans of the first Wreck It Ralph film will remember all the
80s video game references in the movie and while that is how Ralph
Breaks the Internet begins, it is not long until Ralph and his best
friend Vanellope are blasted into the future through the information highway.
In order to save Vanellope’s game they start an online search for the Sugar
Rush steering wheel which brings them to other web places like BuzzTube and Slaughter
Race. While Vanellope becomes obsessed with Slaughter Race, Ralph seems to
thrive as the newest buzz-worthy icon at BuzzTube.In hopes of getting the part for Vanellope’s
game in time to save it, their adventures take them to familiar internet
sources like eBay, Oh My Disney and into the dark web where simple Pop Up Ads
can dabble in the world of viruses.
What I really liked about this funny family friendly film is
that there wasn’t one true villain from beginning to end.Each character showed their strengths and
weaknesses, displayed as courage or vulnerabilities.It also explains how over time people change
and so do friendships and the key to these ever-changing relationships is how we
stay connected to one another.So, while
this film shows how Ralph Breaks the Internet both in the hardwired way and the
viral video way, it is more about how he connects to the internet to evolve
himself and his friendship with Vanellope. It was a great film and I hope you
will take your whole family to see it!
To Infinity and Beyond with Walt Disney Studios
Prior to the screening of Ralph Breaks the Internet, Walt Disney Studios Canada
presented some trailers and a sneak peak scene of an upcoming feature film
(more on that below).They also revealed
their upcoming film release timeline which included everything from Toy Story 4
to an unnamed Marvel Studios film which may very well be the answer to Infinity
Wars. Whether you are excited for more FROZEN or STAR WARS or wondering when Captain
Marvel arrives or when Mary Poppins Returns you can find it all in the timeline
below.

As mentioned, we also had a chance to see a scene from Mary
Poppins Returns featuring a musical number by Lin-Manuel Miranda.He plays Jack the lamplighter in the film and
I had a chance to interact with a lamplighter at the pop-up photo booth.
It looks like Walt Disney Studios has something for everyone
with their upcoming feature film selection.
