We'll start with the Disclaimer - Yes we did receive complimentary copies of these films, but this just means we're able to offer you a chance win them too! Enter the contest at the end of this post


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.

Wreck It Ralph Blasts to The Future in Ralph Breaks the Internet and So Does Walt Disney Studios - Review and Preview


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.

Get Set for All of the Walt Disney Feature Films


It looks like Walt Disney Studios has something for everyone with their upcoming feature film selection.
